We just finished our fourth day of the first week of camp. I can't believe we are almost half way done! It has been a crazy, stressful, but oh so fun week!

We have 22 kids this week, most from a not yet believing family. Though there is an obvious language barrier, we have had such a good time with them. Yesterday, we did a half day of 'regular' camp, then hiked 3 miles to a campsite. I helped lead a group of 7 yr olds. They were so funny! In order to encourage them on the hike, we pretended we were art thieves. There were clues along the way with pieces to our art piece. However, there were also 'police' that we out to catch the theives. At each stop, I would read the clue (in English) When I would say 'the next PIECE,' the little ones, not knowing much English, thought I said POLICE and they would drop to the ground, hoping to not be seen. It was hilarious.

All in all, it has been a great week. My team is working INCREDIBLY together. Keep praying for us. We are getting tired...Pray God gives us the energy to keep the kids busy all day! And pray for tomorrow night. We will be having a 'showcase,' allowing the parents to come and see what the kids have been up to all week. Pray for conversations with the parents about WHY we do this.
