Thursday

The traveling has finally caught up to most of our group and the are going to get a well deserved rest. They get to sleep in tomorrow and they will get more free time during the day. Hopefully they can keep going until next week.

As for pictures tonight, the memory card reader on my computer is acting up. I'll try and get some more pics on tomorrow. However, I can still give you a brief rundown of the day.

This morning started early for the weary travelers, but it was a good one. We met our family groups today and I heard plenty of good stories as a result. Family groups are small groups of kids about the same age, but from all over the world. Our kids enjoyed the time, but wished there weren't so many Americans in their groups. They had wanted to really experience a group with a bunch of internationals, and while they are still doing that they also have at least 3 other Americans in their small groups as well. The time in their family groups was a an eye opener to many of them as they meeting Christians from all over the world and discovering they face many of the same issues that we do in the States.

Worship tonight was powerful. I think the kids loved the speaker and rightly so. He had a great message about passion and being different no matter what we do. We can be a robot designer, but our contact with the Lord should make us different. It was a great message.

Tomorrow is another day and again I hope to get some pics up.
