Olah.....This is Randy Yardumian.....Dave Solt and I found a internet cafe to update this blog....to answer some questions from previous comments.....Yes Praise God our luggage arrived late Saturday evening (at least 15 of the 16 bags). Erin's turned up on Monday when we arrived back from our first day of camp....we were praising God. We are tired, (certainly not hungry...as the nuns have commented how little we eat and we are eating well)some of us still battling the ability (or time change ) to sleep. Of course we are going out to eat Tapas or dinner at 8ish usually arriving back after 10PM...for the old farts like me it is bedtime:) Camp has been absolutely terrific.....I wish you could see your kids in action. They have stepped up big time and all of them have put effort into their teaching time and the kids (who are very smart and do know some English) are learning via lots and lots of games, and most importantly relationships are being formed, and the kids are having fun. It is hard to believe that we just finished day 3 of 5. J.J. (the administrator on this side of the Atlantic is quite amazed (as is the assistant from last year's camp)at how much work we did and how well the camp is going...another answer to prayer. We are going through the book of Philippians. We are discovering how it is hard to love (vs 9) when you live with each other 24/7 and is it really worth addressing issues as they occur? We are memorizing chapter 2, pray that we apply this chapter to our relationships and our lives. Jesse will not write this, but the WHM team here in Granada continue to be impressed with his creativity....this morning it was a rap song about pronouns! Perhaps he could lead this song in worship some morning???? Nah I didnt think so. Praise God we hope to have many of our team go to houses tomorrow evening to visit with some of our students. What a great opportunity this will be.
Well I am all typed out....continue to pray for our relationship among our team as we learn to love each other well, and also for the last 2 days of camp as we try to stay energized. Thanks for your prayers that continue to sustain us.
Blessings,
Randy
This is Dave Solt; I want to relate a pretty cool story that happened to pat and me on sunday night. We attended church and it was packed. After the service started, a woman came in with 2 primary age boys and sat next to Pat. As the service closed, the pastor announced a time of prayer and asked us to break up into small groups. Pat and I asked if we could pray with her, and she said, "I don't know how to do that, I have never been here before". She was pretty emotional as we talked and she said her life was a mess. She turned out to be from Quito, Ecuador and had lived close to where Pat and I lived when we were in Quito. And, one of her sons was going to attend the English camp. We prayed with her and introduced her to some of the people who live here. What a coincidence to me, and what an example of God being in control. Thank you guys for praying for us. The team is having fun and working well together.
