Jaan's big day

As I predicted, Jaan had a wonderful and exhausting day at the camp! When he and Will got off the train at the nearest village, there weren't any cars around to get a ride in, so they started walking. Before long a dump truck picked them up! Can you imagine? A car ride is exciting to Jaan, what would he think of bouncing along in the cab of a dump truck? The dump truck took them most of the way to the camp. At first Jaan was really shy with his aunts (and all the Americans), but he warmed up to them. He spent the day playing as hard as he could. Will didn't even make him take a nap, and by the time they were ready to come home, Jaan was so tired that he was wobbly.

Raia and I had a wonderful day here. She was very sweet all day long. Tanya came over to visit with us and cook. . . and enjoy the baby. That was really nice for me!

Just a quick thank you to everyone who sent things for us with the team: we haven't even looked through everything--there was so much that Will had to leave some at the camp for now!--but just the few things that we saw before going to bed last night made the day seem like Christmas. Thank you so much! We feel very loved.

There are a lot of problems for the camp right now. I won't go into details today, but please PRAY. As things get figured out, I'll post an update (probably on our prayer request page).

Very grown up Jaan had quite an adventure yesterday; thank you for the beautiful photos.

Much love and many prayers--Mom
