Malawi-Kenya-Zambia leaves tomorrow!
We're going somewhere!
We've started the field portion of our summer! However, we are still down here in sunny Florida for the moment. The Malawi-Kenya-Zambia team is in good spirits after our commissioning pizza party and moving into the dorm rooms! They enjoyed their nice showers and mosquito-free rooms after the past two weeks in tents. We keep calling this our unexpected "Boot Camp Debrief" because we're still working hard, but we've relaxed from the constant go-go-go structure of Boot Camp.
We have been working hard at taking down Boot Camp. It's weird for everyone to walk around and not see the Big Top in the middle of everything. Today we've been working on finishing up the odds and ends of things that need to be taken down around Boot Camp such as eating sites and the remaining tent sites.
Yesterday was our memory verse review day. The goal is that by the end of the summer each kid will have memorized forty verses. We have one verse assigned to every day. Sundays, however, we have memory verse review day. They practice all their verses that they have learned thus far and then we do some type of "quizzing," in either a competition format or a one-on-one version. Our kids were exceling at their verse review so we celebrated by spending some much awaited time in the pool!
The kids are learning the power of being fluid and flexible. The past week we have been trying to go to three different countries, and each time the news of a new change comes in the kids are just excited to learn about a new ministry opportunity. We are communicating with parents and legal guardians with new information as quickly as we are made aware of these changes with flights and will continue to do so to the best of our ability. Please continue to pray for COVID negatives and for safe and effcient travels for our team. They wanted me to send their love to each of you!
