Relaxing in the woods after teaching for the week was complete.  The woods surrounding camp are filled with incredible silver birches.

Today is our last day. Sad that it is ending so soon.  We have full days and nights and so many wonderful experiences.  From not knowing what is going to  happen next, to having wonderful conversations with people you have just met.  One of  the most amazing things is the overall love that is felt by both Americans and Russians in this camp. This is best expressed by a Syrian man saying.  “This place has a different feeling from any other place I have ever been.” I said it was the love and caring God as His love is shown through the Christians in this camp. It is much like I feel in our church at home.  Medical professions is our theme today, from God’s healing power to medical terms and idioms. 

I have also learned a lot about myself. Thank you for your support and prayers.  I ask for your continued prayers as we continue our trip.
