Hello!

Good news! The King’s Kids team is beginning to get comfortable, and tomorrow we begin an outreach in the form of an English Camp.  We have about 80 young people ages 6-18 registered for the camp where they will become more familiar with the English language through Bible stories, skits, and times of conversation with each other as well as our staff.  I’m so excited!

For the last two days, I’ve helped in the kitchen fixing lunches for the teams, and starting tomorrow I will only be doing that every other day (working at the camp on the other days).  While I am excited to begin working with the children here, I am going to miss being in the kitchen with my new friends.  I am beginning to catch on to some humor, and I’ve loved getting to know them better.  Today, I was told that I had sliced the vegetables “perfectly”…which is a big deal (you have to cut differently for soup vs. salad).  We’ve had so much fun!

I so treasure the friendships that are growing here.  I am trying to learn some vocabulary each day, but language is slow going.  Fortunately, most people here on the base speak English quite well.  My new friend Ruslan wanted me to tell you all hello.  He thought it was funny that I was in the kitchen to write this blog, but the internet is really quite fast in here…and it’s the only quiet place.  J

I hope everything is going well there…I heard that Fox News’ Twitter account was hacked?  That’s a bummer.  :(

I’m loving it here in Ternopil, and I’m already thinking about ways I could get back here in the near future.  Thank you so much for your prayers!
