Here we go!! We are in full speed for the second week. God has blessed us with a large amount of rain and mud again but the kids did not seem to mind. We taught the kids today about helping each other and reaching out to your neighbor in love. Tonight is our birthday party for all the kids my favorite part of the week . Most of the kids here have never had a party like this and to see their faces is an amazing thing. keep us in prayer and the kids as we have had lots of sick tummys and colds this week. We will post pictures of the birthday party soon!! Thank you for your prayrs and suport. ~Xiomi

We have pressed on to the Goal this first week of Camp Amazon!!! Our last day was full of fun, games, fellowship, all day very hard rains and lots of MUD! It was amazing and fun to say the very least! I cannot express how my heart was touched as I say these campers' hearts so touched this week by the love of God. The connections that where made where friendships that will last and be so good for their Christian walk. One of the things we taught the kids was to express love to their mommy and daddy, we told them ways in english and spanish to say I love you. So when they saw their parents they did just that!! It was a blessing to be able to present these campers back to their parents. One set of parents said that because of the excitement in their son they will be attending church this weekend with their son. That in itself is wonderful but as he went on and explained he has not been in a church in over 40 years but is moved by what ever happened to his son, my eyes filled with joy. God is truly uniting families; this is one of our pryayers. Thank you for your prayers and support, please keep us in prayer as we prepare for week two!!

Earlier this week the kids learned to ask for help when they were in a time of need and not rely on their own strength to achieve goals but to depend on God for direction. So today before starting a game today my girls (the aviseas)circled up and prayed asking God to guide them and help them play better so they could wim. To my surprise theydid win!! I explained to them that winning was a great thing but the greater event was their dependence was on God for help and guidance. ~Veronica (Wednesday afternoon)

Rain or Shine ( and we have had lots of both!!) we are out here praising God. Yesterday we went crazy playing Pollo Loco and rolling around in the mud!! We spent the afternoon learning about forgiveness and God's love for us. Keep us in prayer as we have a few home sick campers this morning, but I am sure that will change as we have a full day of great fun ahead. ~Rodolfo
