Well, today is our team day off... It is great, raining... but we are having a good time. The others are buying lots of presents, but i thought i would write, because I am not coming home soon so buying presents would be hard to do. But don't worry, i plan on coming back to Russia when I am in England to explore a bit more.
Now, about the camp. We have 350 kids in the camp, the first few days was spent getting to know them, and then 100 went home and 100 more came (had a change over) so the next few days were spent getting to know the new lot. They are soooo beautiful. We had to do a program with them about choices and healthy teeth. We were able to link the gospel into those lessons. Some kids were very responsive and some wanted to know more, others are very interested in Australia and some not in anything at all. I am having a great time here and God is blessing us through letting us spend extra time with the kids, and giving us lots of additional things that we had left behind (gospel beads from another group who has just left another camp)
our normal day consists of wake up 8:00am, devotions at 8:30, breakfast at 9:30, some time to prepare and then we usually have 2 groups for an hour each, lunch at 2:00, then sleep, snack at 5, two more groups for an hour, dinner at 7:40 and then free time to play sports with kids, talk to them, paint their nails, do their hair, etc etc. they go to bed at about 10ish and we then go for a walk and bed sometime around midnight for us. pretty good routine.
I don't know when i''ll be back at the internet, but just wanted a quick word with how stuff is going, oh and the food isn't nearly as bad as i was prepared for.... praise God.
love you all,
deev
p.s. can't work out how to post photos on this computer, so they will most likely come when i am in the UK!
