Wednesday, July 25th

Today was an awesome day...it was overcast this morning, sprinkled some and cloudy. But then God blessed us with sunshine for the afternoon and evening. The children are very motivated in learning their lessons and it is great to watch and hear them saying English words and phrases. They are learning new songs in Music and practicing for the Drama that will be done later in the camp. Many of the team members are bonding with the campers and the campers are getting to know the teachers more each day. The team is working together and helping each other with class projects and sharing ideas. It is called "flexibility" as each day you have to be ready and able to do things that were not in the "plan". The sports is going very well, Pastor James is keeping them busy with a variety of different active games. His helpers, Gerry(Gery) and Vicki are great in being able to keep up with the campers. Each afternoon they do 3 hrs of "sports" and then in the evening it is another hour. I am not sure who is more tired at the end of the day,,the children or the team.'' Arts and crafts are going well, today we did tie dye t-shirts and it will be interesting to see all the different patterns/colors at the end of the week when they are all done. We'll send pictures when they are all hanging on the lines. Keep the team in your prayers as we continue to share God's Word and love and for the children as they continue to learn English.
