Team B's Second Camp - By Joe Kelley

Sunday, July 22.

The ending of the first camp was very special for us our students, with many tears and goodbyes. I was especially attached to three of the boys that I visited in their homes earlier in the week. We know of children that made commitments to Christ during the last week, so this makes our time here even more encouraging.

On Saturday after camp was over, we drove to the next site to begin preparations for the next week of camp. Moving to the second week of camp in a different town has been quite an adjustment. There are 11 adult men sharing one room on the fourth floor of a townhouse type building and the men's bathroom is on the first floor. There is no hot water for the men's showers, but it really doesn't matter. The temperature was 90 degrees this afternoon in the men's room. Fortunately it has AC that we turn on when sleeping.

Please pray for our adjustment to this new house, some of the new coworkers that we don't know yet and have limited English. The school we will work at is about a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive away from our house. We had meetings this afternoon after a Chinese/Taiwanese church service to begin planning this week's camp, so that is helping us to get settled in with our new group.

Thanks for everyone's prayers ... please continue to pray for our stamina and patience... there are so many differences in daily life here that it can be overwhelming, but the strength God is more than sufficient for our needs. All of the believers here are very welcoming and gracious so that helps immensely.
