Hello all! We find ourselves nearing the end of the Childrens camp week. Just like last week, the farther along we get, the better we get to know the kids. Its a little easier to interact with t hem now that we know them on a more personal basis. The kids are getting tired and so are we. The students are really enjoying the personal teaching time we have each morning. We are paired up and each pair has a group of about ten campers who seem to be listening really well. Each group is sharing the gospel every morning along with a study of one of the ten commandments. PJ is still speaking in the evenings about the other commandments we haven't covered. There were a few campers who raised their hands for salvation and many others who have asked for prayer related to specific commandments. Please pray for the counselors and other leaders to follow up on these decisions. There are pictures in the other posts of teaching times, games and activities, and the campers in general. We've also included some pictures of our staple meal - rice, pasta, and beans. There is a picture of the girls' bathroom and shower so you can see what we've been using the past few weeks. Also there is a picture of the church the 1994 WCBC team helped to build, which we mentioned in the last post. Hope you are enjoying the pictures and updates as much as we enjoy your comments. This may be our last post depending on our schedule this weekend. Camp ends Saturday morning and we have a full day of site-seeing and shopping planned. Sunday we are visiting two different churches and hope to see more campers there as well. Sunday night we will be at Sommers' church Bessa, which we are really looking forward to. We plan to leave early Monday morning and arrive in the Chicago airport at 5am Tuesday morning. Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers, we will do our best to finish strong. We have so much more to share with you when we return. We love you all!

Hi All! I'm so glad things are going well. Brad, we are now home from the Smokies and had a wonderful time. It was really nice, but so busy there. Can't wait to tell you all about it, as well as hear about your time in Brazil.

I hope you have a great weekend and look forward to talking to you when you get home. We love you and will pray for you as you come home.

Love,

Mom & Dad
