Campers are FINALLY Here!

So today was a big day for us! We woke up this morning and went to prayer meeting at 9:30 then Sunday School at 10 The church service started at 11 at continued until 1. Very long morning and the church service was not quite what I was used to so it seemed like it took a lot longer, but good nevertheless. The Pastor is really sweet so it makes it all worthwhile! Oh something cool...They have a Russian service here that starts at 9:30 and it is so awesome! It is totally rocking! They sing great contemporary songs, but of course in Russian. The weird thing is when you walk in you would swear you where in a Asian church service, but then you listen for a second and realize they are not speaking an Asian language. They are basically a large number of Koreans and some other Asian background, but they are all from countries that were a part of the Soviet Union so they can all speak Russian. Anyway their service is awesome and it was so cool to listen to them rock out. I wished that I could speak Russian so I could join in! After church we went to a diner and had lunch with Mark the intern. Then we took some crazy fun pictures with camera timers. I will post them when I get them on my computer. We then had to get set up for the campers to arrive here at the church. After we felt set up we had to run to the store yet again to finish getting things for tomorrow!! Guess what! We forgot somethings, so Stacy has to get up tomorrow and while we are cooking breakfast she has to go yet again!!! AHH!! You would think we would have gotte our acts together, but there is always something...The crazy thing is I don't think if we actually remembered while we were there it would help because we pretty much max out on what we can carry each and every time! After the grocery trip we came back and by this time (because it took us a really really long time! The store was packed I guess New Yorkers do their grocery shopping on Sunday...)campers had arrived!  Finally finally! It was so exciting! We got them situated and talked with them a bit and then prepared for worship. We had a great worship service! I think everyone enjoyed us making fools of ourselves in our silly skits! It was great fun! Then after worship we hung out with the kids until lights out. WE had a group meeting to make sure we all knew our duties for tomorrow. Pray for my group we are setting up prayer tables on street corners and praying with people!! I'm really excited, but also a little nervous. I feel like I'm the example for this and I've never even done it before!! So pray for me and my group! Now it is blogging and soon bed 7:30 will be very very early tomorrow!! Love you all! Thanks for reading!
