Guys, we didn't come to Finland to look at produce...

The vegetables were gorgeous! Eric and I just had to take pictures. Jason, on the other hand, felt that the produce was not worth our time and urged us to continue on. I personally think this is a fabulous photograph.

We just got back from our second Wednesday night volleyball/devo. We invited a lot of the kids from camp and had an awesome turn out. Many of the kids who go to camp each year don't attend church regularly. So, for now we're doing the best we can to bridge the gap between camp and church. We've been trying to spend a lot of time with them encouraging them to become more active with the church. They're all really great kids and they've got good hearts. But many of them lack authority...their parents let them do whatever they want. Many of their lives have little to no structure. I'm sure you can understand how attending church clashes with such a life style.

The park we went to tonight was full of teenagers. Many of them were out drinking and having a good old time. While we were singing songs several of them came up and sat at the back of the group to listen. Now, I have no idea why they stopped or what they were thinking, but I was glad that they did. They didn't stay very long, but it was interesting none-the-less.

Tomorrow we are planning for Friday Fun Day, which is basically VBS. I'm in charge of registration and will be designing the nametags. The way I see it, VBS cannot exist with out me! Thankfully I've had plenty of experience designing nametags. Every year that we had Erin as a counselor at Blue Haven I took some part constructing unforgettable nametags. Everything I know I learned at camp.

I tried out the panoramic feature on my camera tonight at the devo. I'm going to mess around with it and hopefully I'll be able to post it to the blog.

Did I mention that today is Esteban’s birthday!? Welcome to the 24 club buddy!
