Cegléd

English camp number 4 complete. We've had 5 camps back to back and today is our very first day off. I'm exhausted.

Last week we were in a town called Cegléd. We were leading an English camp for around fifty 3-16 year old kids. It was extremely challenging at times due to the language barrier and lack of translation. It seemed like most times we were just fighting to keep the kids occupied and less and less focus was on teaching English at all. Luckily, many of our evenings were free and I spent a large portion of them resting. On our last day the church paid for us to go to a water park/thermal spa. This day couldn't have come at a better time! We all had a lot of fun as we kicked back, relaxed, and had a ton of fun.

Next we have a few days off and then we head to another city called Kiskunmajsa. Supposedly in this town we will be doing an outreach to gypsies using the "Bus for life." This bus is a mobile literature store that travels all over Europe doing outreaches. I'm not sure exactly what it will look like, but I know we're going to be on the bus. Here are some random pictures from our time here in Hungary.
