Starting our week in Taoyuan, Taiwan
Once our second week of camp started last week both teams has been busy from morning to late at night. We’ve wanted to update this blog but have just not had the time necessary to do it justice. After arriving at our third destination we didn’t have internet access for a period of time and once we did we learned that Joe’s dad’s condition has deteriorated. We’ve made arrangements to get Joe out on the first available flight, which is tomorrow morning (Tuesday, July 31, 2007), however his flight will take about 36 hours before he lands in Roanoke. There simply are no available seats to the US mainland so Joe is being routed through Hawaii, San Francisco and Dulles. We are very saddened by the news and want to get Joe back to his family as quickly as possible.
Preparation for the third camp as not gone as smoothly as the first two camps. The have been many logistical issues that have prevented us from getting a solid grip on the number of students and their ages. In addition, there have been significant last minute changes to the curriculum that has put an additional load on the overseas counselors. We’re doing our best to get up to speed and I believe that we’ll have everything in order as the activities begin to unfold. (Although we may only be a little bit ahead of the students, at least we’re ahead.) This has added an additional strain on the team and we need an extra measure of patience and humility to help make this a successful event. We’re still very excited to be involved and just need a little more stamina to get us through the week.
We know you will be praying for Joe and the team. Thank you so very much. For the team, Chuck
