It has only been two days with these 18 children, but I'm not sure how I can
part with them on Saturday. One of the advantages for Wes and I is that we
get to be more of the grandparents so we get less of the grueling work and
more of the fun. I have to say that all 18 are amazing kids - just like
you'd hear from a grandparent.
We began the morning with small groups. I have three little girls and Wes
has two of the smallest and cutest boys. One of the girls in my group is an
imp but a born leader. We pray that she will let the Lord lead her.
Wes then went to the climbing rocks to belay a boys cabin. And a girls cabin
and I hunted for articles in the bush to build our craft. Wes and I
relearned how to play volleyball. We can't remember why we thought we were
too old to relate to kids. We are having so much fun!!!
The camp is well organized. There is archery, a paint ball area, belaying on
the rocks, canoeing, swimming, crafts and sports. It is all timed and
organized by cabins. We have small groups in the morning and chapel in the
evening.
I got another great joy this evening. We talked about Jesus being the light
of the world and how we need to walk with Him. We wrote each child's name in
their Bibles and gave them their new lamps to guide them on their walks.
They were excited and wondered if they could read them right away. They
opened them up and saw their names. They hugged them.
These children have truly been delightful. Please pray for them!!! I am
captured by their warm hearts, enthusiasm and potential leadership skills.
Now I'll quit jabbering and let Wes talk.

Hi,
The two boys in my small group have captured my heart. One of the boys had
read the Bible story for our small group and discussed it knowledgeably.
The boys climbed the rock wall like Spiderman. Coming back down was OK for
most except the smallest. He was so light that he just bounced back down.
I had to hustle to keep up with the rope for him. Sue's message connected
well with all the children again this evening. It is a wonderful privilege
to share the Word with them.
Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated. We had a lot of rain late
afternoon that has not let up. Please pray for a lot less rain.
Wes
