camp #2 underway

Hey -- just a quick update while I have a few minutes.

56 new kids arrived yesterday (down from an initial estimate of 72), and things haven't slowed down since. For some reason Allen decided to have everyone get up at 6am today, so by this point the kids are running around like crazy with nothing to do! Hopefully somebody's watching them out there...

We met the new facilitators yesterday too -- there are 11 of them this time (I think that's the same count as the last camp : 7 guys, 4 girls).

The kids colored their goody bags and painted the butterfly suncatchers yesterday afternoon. And we had a talk on courage done by one of the facilitators + Allen in the evening.

Denise is finally getting over her cold/flu/sore throat she had earlier in the week, and I think most of our team is finally healthy (though I didn't see tall Mike for a while last night). Thanks for keeping us in your prayers -- it's really a privilege to be here working with these kids. There's a song that the kids sing that really rings true. Hopefully I'll get a video of it up here at some point, but it basically goes like this: "The ASP is the best! You need to join us now!"
