camp and busyness

once again, i've fallen behind on my blogging. i apologize. we've been super busy this week with track and field camp, which is going very well by the way. i have some crazy kids in my group, but they are fun to hang out with. its been a real blessing to be around kids for a little while. team habakkuk has had a chance to share a "devotion" each day with all the kids at the camp, which is really neat! the camp is made up of some kids from the church, but the majority of the kids are just from the community. we also have a few volunteers from a high school helping us out, all 3 are not christians, so we are even getting a chance to share with them!

i was talking to my mom tonight, and realized that part of me has gotten a little discouraging. i had to fill out some papers for the namb, and some of the questions were how many people have you lead to Christ, and how many people have rededicated their lives to Christ and accepted the call to missions. we as a team have not seen any tangible, physical results from our work here, and that can be a little discouraging. we know that God is working, but its frustrating when we don't see what He is doing with our own eyes.

on a lighter note, we had dinner and spent an evening with the family living at sheridan. (i don't know their last name, but its allison, peter, stephanie and jennifer - i've mentioned them before) we had planned to have pizza then watch a movie, but we ended up just talking until about 10 pm. i thoroughly enjoyed our time with them, and i think they felt the same! they really want to take us out sight-seeing at some point before we leave! pray that God will continue to open doors for us to share our love for Jesus with them, especially now that we have formed more of a relationship.

like i said, its been a busy week, and the team is quite tired. so even more so now, we need some prayers, especially tomorrow! general plan for thursday: track and field camp til 12 or 12:30, lunch with the hudsons, headed over to the park for our 2nd "mini-block party" if it isn't raining, dinner out, bible study at UTM. good news about the bible study - we will most likely be having a muslim join our bible study. he overheard us having it last week, and wanted to join..so i'm pretty sure he will join tomorrow night. also, we're praying that kevin's friend might be able to come as well. so it will be a busy day, but hopefully an exciting, encouraging day!

we have a little bit over 2 weeks left in canada. wow..the time has flown by. but now we have to start praying about and planning for how to leave..connecting those we have met and ministered to with people who live here and can continue the work God has done through us. pray that we will have wisdom in working these kinds of things out!

as always, i covet your prayers, and want you to know that you WILL be blessed for faithfully lifting up me and my team to the Lord. grace and peace through Jesus. :) love y'all.
