Trying to catch up....

Well, it's been quite a while since I updated last. The 2006/2007 Boot Camp began 04 Dec. with leaders arriving and we were off and running. I'll post pictures soon.....

It was a long haul and I'm still battling with a case of typhoid I can't seem to shake.....and trying to put all the bits back together so we're ready to roll when the BMW school opens on the 21st. So I'm not taking a break...yet. I am hoping, if I can get everything done that I need to, to take a couple days off and go to the Hartbeesport Dam about a click to the west... from the base here in Pretoria. I've actually never been there but I hear it's a nice location. So we'll see.

Thanks for all your prayers for us during the last month.....we needed every one of them! It was the best BC I've had thus far with a completely full eight teams. The place was packed. The kids and leaders did well...not too many "serious" incidents....chased one kid through Boot Camp who'd tried to make off with part of the camp's lunch hidden in the team igloo he went to fill (Long story)...kid was finally caught, lunch was "rescued" and we moved on. Now that it's over I can say....that was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.....it made for a really interesting day.

In total we saw over 1,000 decisions for Christ in the last month and all the teams did really well on their various projects so we Praise the Lord for all he did in and through us over the last several weeks. It was rough at times, obviously, but it was amazing to stand back and see Him work.

Anyway this is all I've got time for now but I'll post again soon and hopefully add pictures.

Thanks again for your prayers!
