Středa - Wednesday

Tonight I really wish that I could understand Czech. Our frisbee players are divided into two groups - named after states - and mine is Tennessee. Jitka, our fellow coach, is a leader of this state with me, and tonight we divided into small groups to discuss questions following from the speaker. These questions are geared toward the Christian faith, but I feel that they deal more generally with life. For example, the main question last night was, What are you running for? In other words, what motivates you to live life to the fullest. This question was difficult for me to answer, and I wish I could have understood Jitka, Petr, Ana, Simon, Verka, Katya, Esther, and Jindrich as they each shared what seemed like very personal thoughts. It has gotten me thinking though...

Camp today was great, we played frisbee for four hours in morning, then I was back out there again this afternoon with other kids, since they can sign up for any sport they want to try in the afternoons now. Jory had the afternoon off so he got to do airsoft! I think I am going to try on Friday. A Czech guy about my age showed up in the afternoon and joined the game. He was visiting a friend at the camp, but he was very good at ultimate! He plays on a club team in Prague, where there are five club teams, a very high level of play, and the world club championships will be held there soon. He was much better than me and it was really fun to play with him, since most everyone else cant throw or stay spread out very well. But it is so fun to play frisbee all day.

Each state is performing a dance or lip sync to an American pop song from the 1960s over the next two nights. Jorys did Stay by The Hollies tonight, and tomorrow night I will be a part of a one-night, crowd-awing performance of Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. Pictures definitely to come.

Tomorrow brings seven plus more hours of ultimate, along with all the meals, hang out time, poorly translated jokes, and butchered pronunciation of language that that entails. Jory and I have been brightening each day with a trip to Penny Market or Interspar for a delicious foreign ice cream bar. It is such a good walk and relax and talk time that other leaders are starting to join in.
