Today was the first day for every one to put on their long sleeves jeans and sweat shirts. The morning started cold and by evening it had only risen around 5 degrees.
This day for many was the first hit of reality.  Our mission will soon be drawing to an end and we are all starting to look at the relationships we have formed and how much we will miss the kids once we leave. The question of is all this worth it was quickly answered during the morning chapel when there were some difficulties with the technology and music. For reasons unknown people weren't sure why the sound on the songs didn't play but that wasn't going to stop the kids. A group of about 10 kids got up went to the front and with no music at all, started singing the songs and doing the actions. There was no point in trying to hide the goose bumps on your arms because everyone had them. Those children, most of which do not speak English well, sang those songs in English to the exact beat that it would have been if the music were playing. It's amazing the things God can do.
The rest of the day was smooth as well with no serious issues until the end of the day. One camper did have an accident and went to the hospital after evening games, but all is well and she is back now and headed to bed here shortly. 
Please continue to pray for all of us as we finish out the rest of this week.  People are growing tired from lack of sleep and we need prayers for patience to deal with all that's going on.  God bless.
