Kamp!

Two weeks ago, Dennis and I pack our sleeping bags, our tent, and our swimsuits and headed for camp! Bible camp is nestled in the beautiful hills of the Belgian Ardennen. This is a shot taken from the famous "Love Tree"... we hike up the road from camp, which is down in the valley from the tree.

Every morning, Luk taught lessons from the book of 1 Corinthians. He tackled tough subjects like how we can keep each other accountable, how to be in the world but not of it, whether it's okay to marry unbelievers, why sex outside of marriage is less than perfect, and how Gods love for us never fails.

In the afternoons, there were all kinds of activities--swimming, mountain biking, "capture the flag," long hikes, and I even taught 'em how to play American football! (We played "flag football" with the tea towels stuck in our shorts =)

Cards was a popular pastime in the evenings. Check out Dennis' beard--it's his camp tradition!

The last evening of camp is "Bonte Avond" night. No one's quite sure how it got it's name, but it's a night of skits and silliness. Here's us doing the "Focus on God" skit that some of you may recognize ( Mom, remember the spanish version from Honduras??)

And you can't have camp without a bon fire! Collecting wood for the fire takes the place of the afternoon activity on friday, and you should see how enthusiastic everyone is to drag whole trees a mile down the road in the heat of the summer! But seriously, they are! The bigger the fire, the better. And this one was pretty big! (Though the picture doesn't do it justice...)
