We're Out
I just took my bag outside and set it by the car to be loaded and shuttled over to the church. We are riding the bus to the church building where we'll meet with the rest of the camp staff and get on a charter bus to camp. I think I went to bed at about 4:30am and got up at 7am...I'm a bit out of it.
The theme for camp is "Hidden Treasures". 2 Corinthians 4:7 is what I would call the key verse for the week, which is appropriate on soooo many levels as I am definitely feeling the jar of clay analogy this morning :). Evelyn and Trin will be my junior counselors for the week. I've spent some time with Trin, and meet Evelyn for the first time at the staff meeting. They are both really great girls and I'm really looking forward to getting to know them and my campers from Tartu better.
So, this is it for a week. Thanks again for your prayers. The word on the street is that this camp is nowhere near as structured as the camps in the states, so once again Ron, I'm sure that whole flexibility thing will come in handy!!
I love you and miss you all!

Hey Estonia Team:
I want you all to know that the folks in Denton are thinking about you and praying for you all.
I am so glad that you felt God calling all of you to go. I hope all of you are having a great time serving the Lord there. I thank all of you for taking bold steps to leave your friends and family behind to go to a foreign land to serve the Lord. That is something that I have never done and have a hard time thinking about doing. That is why I am so glad that all of you took that step and answered the call. All of you are wonderful people who can share your faith with others and I look forward to hearing from all of you when you return.
God bless all of you.

Hey Em,
I'm sorry I haven't responded. We've had camps for the past two weeks. But I've just caught up on all your blogs and I'm glad you're having such a wonderful time. I wish I could send you all my warms cloths (but by the time they got there you'd probably be leaving). I hope you had a great time at camp! Monica

I hope camp goes well! I have to wear an eyemask sometimes too, J.E. likes to read at obsurd hours! Mr. Will says hi and he can't wait to see you again! I ended all my sentences in a exclamation!
ILY!
