Up to Camp in Yaroslavl, Now Back in Moscow

Hello!

Mission Accomplished! :-) We just arrived in Moscow, after a beautiful tour of Yaroslavl and 4-hour drive back down to Moscow. After such a great camp in Maloyaroslavets, we were wondering how it could get any better; but after this week at a camp in Yaroslavl similar to Honey Rock, we are blessed to announce a second great week of ministry. After some time of adjustment to the new camp setting, each of us enjoyed connecting with the kids and seeing the Lord sovereignly work. The Spirit was certainly at work, and it was exciting to see him build strong relationships. From morning exercises, to sports, to crafts, to time at the Volga River beach, to evening testimonies (from Danielle, Paige, Stan, and Brian), we made many little friends. We also felt a special connection with the teen and adult camp counselors. We will try to put pictures up as soon as possible.

Thank you for your prayers for health and safety! Everyone is healthy and, though a bit tired from the weeks of camp, are going strong. We said our goodbyes to the Triggs family tonight; they will head out for the airport in the morning. The rest of us are looking forward to a day to tour Moscow with our now good friend, Camila (our translator in Maloyaroslavets). We leave for home on Sunday!

Look forward to seeing you and talking to you all soon!

"Spakoinoi noche!" (Goodnight!)
