i'm back and ready to update! how exciting. HAHAHAA.
ONE-WEEK-INTENSE-INDUCTIVE-BIBLE-STUDY-TRAINING-CAMP-FOR-UNI-STUDENTS-AROUND-TAIWAN
so two weeks ago, i was in Taichung
leading a group of university students in inductive bible study. The camp
was a little over a week long, but the first three days were training for us
counselors, and then the students came after that. now, i gotta tell ya -
the camps here are so intense. in preparation for this camp, all the
students that were coming had to read the entire book of Mark (or Hebrews,
depending on what level they applied for), and write a summary about it.
can you believe that??! this coming right off of finals.
craziness.
anyway, so the first night when the students arrive, we had worship, some
announcements, and then guess what? A TEST!!! HAHAHA. it was
insane. the test was pretty difficult too, because the questions were so
specific. (for example - Jesus heals the blind man in what chapter of
Mark?) seeeeee?!?!
 
one of the students taking the
test
at our ministry/missions calling nights
anyway, so then everyday after that, we would split
into small groups and work on our inductive. i actually really miss doing
inductive bible study! i've forgotten how in depth and how much you can
learn out of sheer details and questions. anyway, my small group was
tooooo cute. and since most of them came from small universities, they
didn't really know too many other students there at the camp (there were about
650 students that week). so praise God, our small group REALLY stuck
together and got to know each other. they were also so cute because
before dinnertime, there was always nap time, so the other counselor and i (i
had a partner since i didn't know how to lead inductive in full fledged
chinese) were always sleeping. then one of the kids in our group calls us
and is all, "where are you? we saved you a place in the dining room
already. hurry up!" hahahahaa. so cute. so we
actually all ate together during most of our meals.
our group was pretty mature, i think, and they all learned a lot, evident in
their sharing every night. the very first night was the ONLY night we
ended sharing time on time. all the rest of the nights, we always ran out
of time because everyone had so much they wanted to share. i will miss
them a whole bunch! only one of them lives here in taipei, and even then, it's pretty far - all
the way out in Danshui.
 
a picture of some of the students in my group eating
lunch. all our inductive notes we had to write all over the chalkboard.
we had to bring our own lunch boxes!
KIDS-LEARNING-HOW-TO-STAGE-ACT-AND-LEARN-ENGLISH-AT-THE-SAME-TIME
during the uni camp, i was called about doing a story-telling time at a
children's camp for the Taiwan Nazrene Church Kid's camp. so i told the
story of Noah's Ark
and then got to be one of the judges on the judging panel for their last day
skit performances! it was so fun!
the crazy thing about this camp was that these are 2nd to 6th grade students
who wanted to learn how to stage act; not only that, but they got their scripts
(in ENGLISH) on the first day of camp! so they had to memorize their
lines within three days. now, this probably wasn't as hard for the older kids, but for the 2nd graders to have to memorize 3-4 lines in english?
that's pretty good. they were so adorable. oh oh, AND they were
taught how to make their own costumes, so the counselors and churches provided
all these random materials and things to use as props and outfits. it
really was quite impressive!
 
look at them! so cute. and check out this batman-Lazarus! too cute.
alrighty, that's a lot more pictures than i've normally posted, so hope you've enjoyed your reading time. now get back to work! TA HAHAHAA. or go to my normal XANGA page!
