I've really enjoyed reading, relaxing and hanging out with friends the last three days.  It has been great.

Today was my second Alpha cafe and the team's third.  It was another good one and packed into the smaller room.  Dasha, Varya and their mom came tonight!  It has been great to see Dasha at church on Sundays too.  Tonight's discussion was about reading the Bible and prayer.  Dasha said, "Before I became a Christian, I didn't understand anything I read in the Bible.  Now, I understand most of it and want to read it all the time!"  It's so great to see what God is doing the the lives of some of the kids who came to English camp.  It is especially exciting to see how God orchestrated these two girls being at camp.  You see, their father is the new director of the facility where we have our spring camps.  Their mom, Marie, stopped my mom, Millie, in the hall one night to see if her girls could come to our "party." My mom explained that we weren't having parties, but meetings to prepare for an English camp that would start in two days.  Well...to make a long story shorter, the girls attended our camp and Dasha, the older girl, gave her life to Christ.  She stayed after the meeting tonight to hang out with some of the other kids.  It's great to see her getting so involved, especially when she has to travel nearly 2 hours to get to our meetings!  Praise the Lord!
