Since there is no internet, or any electricity, at the camp, the update will be through the phone. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The team is doing great, getting to know the teens and the workers of the camp. It has been a blessing to be able to love the kids and teens and show them that they are very important to us.\u00a0 We have gotten to know the workers a bit more, especially since we hang out with them each evening after the kids are asleep.<\/p>\n
It has been challenging in sharing about our faith with the workers of the camp, but slowly we are able to talk about who we are and why we have come to Russia on a mission trip.\u00a0 All of the workers have such a big heart for the disabled youth and we really hope that they can see God through our words and actions.<\/p>\n
Each team member is becoming more and more comfortable with the disabled youth, as we learn the things they like and the things they don\u2019t like to do.\u00a0 Some of them can voice their dislike, others try to explain non verbally.<\/p>\n
God has been teaching the team so much through this camp, especially through the disabled youth. They delight in the small things like reading, swimming, walking, the rain and playing in the sand. It is such joy to watch their faces light up when they like something!<\/p>\n
The team sends their love to you family and friends and cannot wait to tell you all about their experiences! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
