Our supervisor came in to report on the other camps - he sends a good report from everyone. He has been meeting with "people" all over and has many exciting stories we will share later. He met up with Jimmy & Jamal and the OSU bunch - they spent 4 days in a teaching session in a small room with no windows- the work is amazing. He said not one complaint from those kids in harsh conditions - he is so encouraged by them. Today they start a 2-day camp with 180 kids in the blazing heat - but they are doing well. Tomorrow is the last day of class - we have asked for every opportunity to complete the work assigned to us this week- ask the same for us. We have been REMARKABLY free of illness and dissention- we have had an awesome camp. Some minor illnesses and a frustration or two but we are coming home very humbled and thankful - we have learned a lot. We are in a very poor area and everyday life is so hard. We are more thankful than ever. We have one more day of class then a busy graduation day - Saturday will be another travel day but then more travel. More rest, western food, but still busy, tired, overwhelmed. Gail mentioned it is hard to process all we are seeing and experiencing - we have a years' worth of new stuff every day. Living with a water buffalo outside your window is a new thing :-) Again,we are doing well - keep up the good work. We can tell you are speaking on our behalf and we are thankful. We are ready to come home I think but this is a tough bunch - always ready for more work as needed. One servant after the next.

Once we get to the bigger city my Blackberry should work so I will be more accessible and we hope to post some pictures. Hugs to all - we are well - have a Big Mac for us while we endure one more day of peppers and pig fat!
