Yippee! The team will be arriving in the next 2 or four hours depending on the road and/or the weather. We can picture them now with their bellies full of McDonalds, doing some head bobbing in the van. Most likely someone is drooling too. It is a LONG trip. There has been some powerful downpours this evening. Please pray for safe arrivals.
Heather and I have been busy preparing the camp for their arrival and the arrival of the children on Monday. Thankfully, a lot of the prep work was completed by some SUPER teens from OAKS CHRISTIAN in California. How amazing to receive the blessing of a beautiful and tidy camp upon our arrival, given selflessly by these fantastic kids!
We have had the pleasure of wrestling a few mattresses, scrubbing some toilets, washing some floors and dishes, making an inventory list, putting away food supplies, sorting hygiene kits and LAUGHING OUR HEADS OFF! Oh yes, Melissa and Marsha will appreciate the copious amounts of Ham, cucumbers, tomatoes and what I loosely refer to as cheese, sandwiches. We have invented some new ways to prepare this delicious treat...over and over and over again!
We finished our prep work and went into Sibiu in the middle of a mega storm to eat something different. It is amazing to realize how much we appreciate variety when we are without.
We did make a FABULOUS and I do mean FABULOUS hand picked from the lush hills in Romania BLUEBERRY CAKE with an oh so delicious glaze. The glaze was an add on today. :)
We are waiting and waiting and waiting for the team. We are waiting and waiting and waiting for the kids. All in good time...all in God's time.

ReplyDeleteOh how I miss ham, cucumber, tomatoes, & "cheese!" I wish I could be there with you all; I know you are having an awesome time, and I look forward to continuing to read about your time at camp and with the kids.
