Week Two! Camp grouds and Confa!

Hello Everyone! Week Two!

What a great week it's been! We spent a week at Evijärvi Finn Pentecostal's camp ground. We were joined by a youth group from Helsinki and a travelling worship team for Oral Roberts University (from Oklahoma). We spent alot of time getting to know each other. I spent my quiet times with God walking along the lake, onto islands, just listening to God's guidance. What a great time with God this week! We had some very powerful times in worship together! Kimmo (Zico) Pollari taught us on the subject of "Wroship". He was very practical in his teachings and was big encouragement to what God can accmplish! After four days of teaching and spending time with the other two groups, it was time to pack up.

After some cleaning at the camp site and Ruurikkala, it was time to head toward Keuruu for the Finn Pentecostal Conference. Daniel, Karo, Janne, and myself we went to Karo's camp (on the way to Keuruu...kind of). Beautiful camp on an island! Enjoyed some food, and went to bed. The next day we woke up, had some puuro, a sauna, and lunch. Then after we headed back to land, it was off to Keuruu!

The weather wasn't really with us for the weekend. Most of it was quite cool and with spurts of rain. We set up our tent and went and mixed with the other 30000 or so people there. I ran into SO many people I know! People I hadn't seen for YEARS! Just off the top of my head, I saw: Janne and Minna Ylankö; Matti Haapoja; Sam Arra, his wife and kids; Pasi and Suvi Silimpaa; Karoliina H, Joona, Danni, and Markku Tuppurainen; Wellu, Elina, and their kids (bucky peed in a puddle, hilarious); Jaakko Mörsky; Iida T; Juha and his wife, Jarkko, and Rossa Ketola; and many more! Sometimes the world feels so small! Lots of great worship meetings and got to hang out with some great people.

Today (Sunday), we headed back to Ruurikkala from Keuruu. I finished the book "Is That Really You, God?" by Loren Cunningham (I would totally recommened it!). Now I'm listening to some of ORU's worship music (recommend it as well!). I think I'm going to go do some laundry, we'll see. Week three starts tomorrow!

God bless!
