Camp!

Camp was wonderful! The team that came was absolutely incredible, and the local youth worked together and with the visiting team beautifully. The heat didn't break--except for during a lovely downpour on Thursday--but we still had around 90 children come every day! (That's a whole lot for camps at this church. More than ever before, as far as I know.) I worked with Alina and Ira and Ruth (from CA) to lead the youngest group. We had twenty or more every day, and they were all age 7 and under. Will had the oldest group, which was smaller, but much harder to work with. Every day we had meeting times, Bible verses to learn, small groups, crafts, songs, games, meals and all kinds of fun. Thank you so much for all your prayers!

Here are just a very few photo highlights, mostly of our own children enjoying camp. I hope to post a full album soon. If you're on Facebook, you should look for the photos already posted by one of the team members; she had a bunch of great pictures!
