Camp Day 4

Another quick update from Bologna.

Camp is going really well. Our day is filled with various activities like . . . 

. . . aerobics

. . . lacrosse

. . . and silly games.

During our down time, we're making new friends . . .

. . . and drinking lots and lots of water.

Today is our last day of camp at the community center, because tomorrow we are going to a pool in Bologna and then camping overnight. A few of the kids who have come this week are unable to attend the campout, so we are trying to make the most of our time today.

Yesterday was a great day. We played lots of fun games, including one HUGE camp game of a version of capture the flag in a large park across the street. We had a great time running around and strategizing as teams, despite the hot, hot sun.

Many significant conversations are taking place. Yesterday, Hank, Lindi, and Ollie spent several hours talking to one boy who is very close to taking steps toward Jesus. Please pray that he will make that commitment today, as he is not able to go on the campout with us. Also, as I write this, Nata is sitting with her Bible, explaining the way of salvation to a young girl camper using Susan, a British woman who is a member of the Italy team, as interpreter. As I said yesterday, God is definitely at work here.

This morning we took a group photo. Each face tells a story, and God is at work in each one of us. As you look this over, please pray that His good work would continue this week and into eternity.

P.S. Your kids are doing GREAT! I cannot say enough about how they are so willing to do whatever needs to be done. True servants all!

This is the last you will hear from us for a while because we will not have internet access again until we arrive home. Prayers are definitely appreciated for a smoother travel day on Tuesday than we had last week when we arrived.

Ciao from Italy!
