Update..

Yeseterday was the last day of camp. It was really hard to say goodbye to my girls. Throughout the week they all really matured in their faith and began to understand how much God loves them! It was so encouraging to send them home free from the chains and bondage that they arrived with.

Well, there was basically a dust storm at camp and we were outside for most of the day. I spent half of the day with my eyes closed. Later when I looked in the mirror I thought that I had gotten really tan—nope! I was all dirt!!!

After I put my girls on the bus, I got to go out to the Tree of Life (where Mumba lives). When we saw each other we both ran as fast as we could and she knocked me down to the ground with her hug! The whole time I was there I had Mumba attached to my hip. I just couldn’t get enough of my baby girl! She showed me her bedroom. On her bed she had a teddy bear that she sleeps with. I was kind of joking with her and started talking to the bear. I asked the bear what her name was and Mumba says, “Katie.” I lost it and cried! It meant so so much to me to know that when I am gone she has a little piece of me represented as a bear!

This weekend has been productive and relaxing at the same time, which is great! Church was wonderful! Joseph gave the sermon. (My mom has adopted Joseph along with about 10 dozen other Zambians so I have many many new brothers and sisters—And he is one of them!) God really spoke so much truth through him.

Went to the Arcades for lunch and a little shopping after. Then took a nap—hurray! We had a bit of a crisis with finding enough beads for the kids necklaces. I ran back and forth to different villas about 3 times so I got my workout in for the day! I was so busy that I forgot to have dinner, so I just heated up some Easy Mac!

Tomorrow starts week 7 of camp and then only one more week after that! Its bitter-sweet. I cant wait to see how the Lord is going to move and work in these kids lives this week!

Prayer Requests—Rest, Energy, For the kids coming to camp to have their chains broken and be set free from the bondage they are experiencing.
