Hello everyone! Today was our last day to work on the campus before the campers get here. I am really looking forward to next week as always. Not because it will not be "working", but because working with the kids over here is such an amazing experience. It is one of the highlights of my year.
The past month or maybe even more Hungary has gotten a lot of rain. The northeast part of the country has had it the worst and has had a lot of major flooding. Word of life had a group of kids here from one of those towns this week to just let me do something fun and get them away. Many of them lost their homes and basically everything they had. They told the kids when they were here they were going to give 30 kids from that town what they call full scholarships to camp for a week. Meaning they could come to camp for free. The next day the camp director, Laci, got a phone call from a teacher from that town. She was being told by all these kids that they had said this and been told they would even send a bus to pick them up. It was so unbelievable to her she had to call to see if it was true. She still had trouble even after talking to him. It is just cool to see that even through such disaster God is working and good can come out of it.
Another praise item would be the camp here sent out emails asking people for $60 donations to send a camper to camp for a week. They need for about 150 kids and in just one day had half of them already. What a great thing to see happen. What a great thing for the people at this camp to be able to see God work and bless them. They are a great staff and group of people who really have a heart for kids and God. If anyone reading this would want to send a kid to camp you could email me at redskinsjf@lycos.com .I can tell you that what they get for $60 is a great great value. Well possibly eternal value.
Anyway, I have talked enough now and Bob just came to my room to give me some pictures to put on my computer. I will try to get some more up tonight or tomorrow. Thank you so much for your prayers and interest in our trips. I can't wait to report what is happening when the kids are here.
