That's right, today's lunch was served complete with eyeball juice.
YUM! (for those of you who are a bit confused, eyeball juice is what
we have taken to calling this juice that has fruit in the bottom of
it...through the glass it looks like eyeballs)

Camp has gone supprisingly well thus far...and its camp one...it can
only get better from here right...well, at least that's what we hope
:o)

The Drama is AMAZING! It is a story that takes place at the end of
the 19th century called "The Bet" its a pretty famous russian short
story...anyway, Valera expanded on it and added some characters and
we've only seen the first night of it, but it was really cool. Its
impressive to me that I can't understand the words, but I am still
captivated by what's going on on stage.

Tyoma is one of the actors and he is so much fun. He and Amberly
really get along well and play around together a lot, which is really
cool b/c she speaks about as much Russian as I do and he speaks about
as much english as we speak russian...its just cool how b/c we are
working for a common purpose we jump over the language berrier and
make friends. I love that our God is a God of relationships.

Prayer Request: Team 2 arrives on Monday and there are only 6 of them
and then the 10 of us All Summer Staff (whom Lena V. has taken to
affectionaltly calling "Amerikrainians") So, all the summer staff will
be teaching english on top of our other responsibilities, so pray that
we will get sufficient rest.

Praise: There is a girl named Vera who was here last summer. She had
so much fun that she is back...but, she is deaf. Carli, an
Amerikrainian, knows American Sign Language really well, so she took a
translator and a white board and instead of "English Classes" they
were able to teah each other some sign language in different
languages. WOW!!! I was so excited that Carli had that opportunity.

I love you guys (and Taddie, T, Diane, Nicole and Jenshka--27 days!)

Peace Out!
