Subject: Tres Rios Costa Rica
Becky and I had to run a quick trip to town for supplies and found an internet cafe. All is going well but I can tell that the group and especially the leaders are tired.
We set up camp in Tres Rios last night. It's a beautiful place way up in the mountains of the central valley. The Ticos have done quite well and showed up after dark with a huge bus load of people. We have over 80 people staying at the camp which although a blessing, is a huge responsibility. It gets a little overwhelming to think we have this many kids, part unsaved friends, in a foreign country, with a language barrier, at a camp somewhere up in the mountains.
We've prayed alot and it seems like things are going very well from a relationship standpoint. They have had great games and other activities to get everyone to know each other and then later tonight the Tico students will talk to their friends about Christ; Tomorrow we will finish our spiritual discussions and clean up and leave at about 2 pm. to go to the training center. Ernesto was at our camp today and all is well with Wayne and Rexanne's group.
We need prayers tonight to sustain the leaders for another 24 hours and to give our kids a lift to get to the end. We also need prayers for the Tico's and that their kids would have open hearts, for safe travel and no bickering between the kids.
Please forward this on to the parents and remember that I love you. A warm, DRY bed at home with a big volume hot shower is sounding awefully good.
