Day 4 of camp 1

Yesterday and today, we have spent all of our time here at the private school called "Li Mai." The Bring Me Hope staff has set up a water park, with an inflatable slide that's a lot of fun, and there is a swimming pool where our kids like to hang out. Ping pong and basketball are also popular activities.

Tomorrow will mark the end of our first week of camp. The time has just flown by. My two boys have opened up and left most of their timidity behind. They are extremely polite, and do as I or my translator say. Dori's two girls have become very active and outgoing, as well. One of them, whom Dori named Sarah, was shy and quiet to the point of not speaking when she arrived, but now smiles and waves whenever either of us look at her. I even heard her shout just a few minutes ago at lunch. She is so cute.

We are having a great time playing with the kids, and in the evening the staff and volunteers--all the Americans--gather for a devotional led by Steve Kettering and some worship. The fellowship has been awesome so far, and we are being blessed right and left. Even in a foreign country, we have it so good.
