Camp

Ok, at some point I really need to take some pictures and get them on here!  But for now, let me just thank all of you who have been praying for the summer camps!  It's been so wonderful to be back here and to see and be part of some of the things at camp. 

We were blessed with a riding lawn mower, which we have at the camp right now.  It's been so great to get the large areas of grass mowed in a short time!  Unfortunately, I hit a stump while mowing and bent a shaft, but Karl was able to take it to a machine shop where they straightened it and got the mower going again!  Karl's mechanical abilities sometimes absolutely amaze me!  I'm so grateful to the Lord for him!

Before we got back to Serbia, we got an email from some friends who live in Macedonia.  Because of visa issues, they had to leave Macedonia for three months and were looking for a place to serve.  Karl invited them to come to the camp to help out, and they came!  We're so excited to have Ethan and Jan with us!  Both are hard workers and love the Lord and love to serve.  Ethan has been a huge help to the camp and to Karl - he's willing and able to do so many jobs at the camp (mowing, cleaning, burning trash, digging up stumps - including the one that I hit with the mower! - and whatever is asked of him).  Karl was able to leave jobs to Ethan while we were in the process of moving and getting the house set up.  Jan has been a wonderful help in the kitchen and in cleaning around the camp.  She, too, is such a hard worker and has jumped in and done dirty jobs and serves others.  It is such a blessing to have them here!  We're so thankful, as are the others at the camp!

There are two weeks left of camp - one week for Serbian kids and a week for Roma kids.  Please continue to pray that God would move in hearts.  Pray for safety and fun for the children.
