The week is really flying by quickly! We had a great day yesterday – Wednesdays always seem to be the most difficult days of camps (sore bodies, tired minds and the realization of what we can’t do as easily as earlier years) but our team did great yesterday.
Our teaching focus yesterday was on forgiveness. Pray that these children can understand that God sent His Son Jesus so that He could demonstrate that forgiveness. We naturally move onto the subject of God’s grace today.
We had our first day of recreation yesterday. I love watching the children and having the chance to encourage them. Our team members jumped in and participated when necessary. We laughed so much yesterday it hurt! To see Jeff Dofing spin around a bat 5 times, get up to run in the wrong direction and then fall down was hilarious. He later commented, “folks go to the car races to see the wrecks.” He has done a great job at hanging out with the children.
Ed and Sandi Lewis continue to do an outstanding job leading our team. Their gentle nature and lovable character has really rubbed off on the team. If Ed was fishing and caught a fish he would say “Bordeline 11” (on a scale of 1 to 10) – well Ed and Sandi have done a “Borderline 11” job at leading the team!
I’m out in the field with the ground’s crew this morning. The horses, pigs and cows mow the field every day. They also fertilize the field – for free. J
Thanks again for all of your participation in this blog. Your communication to the team is shared every morning during our devotion time.

Praying for a fantastic end of the week for camp. For children to come to know Jesus as Savior and for team to be so filled with the Holy Spirit that He just FLOWS. Praying also for your traveling this weekend. British Air says that the first leg of your trip doesn't exist but we can track it once you leave Gatwick for Orlando. Countdown, Sarah Jo, hope you can recover while you are in Ocala (hahaha). Love all of you.

Hi Guys!
It is hard to believe that you have already finished Thursday's assignments and are sleeping in preparation for Friday.
I have enjoyed reading the daily updates.
Walter, the kids at Ocklawaha were attentive. I had a good time.
Margie, the kids at home have done well. They miss you both, but have done very well with Nana B and GrandPop.
I will be taking GrandPop back to the airport tomorrow. I will miss him. Zachary, GrandPop, and I had a great time at the Don Garlitz museum yesterday.
Hi Team RO!!
How awesome to read not only all of your comments about what God has been doing through you, but to also read all of the comments that visitors are making. Even though we are not all there with you physically, we ARE right beside you through the blogs. We can see every grin and hear every squeal (oops...not the pig again...) ahem...every giggle and scream of delight that comes from those children you are witnessing to. You realize that you are witnessing to each other as well?!?!
Can't wait to hear the stories in person, and PLEASE tell me what you all did with Randy. There is not one word about him...did you all tie him up or something?
Wishing you a safe journey home.
Love to you all!
Angie
