Last from Latvia

We are officially done with all our work and we have not known what to do with ourselves.  Foster Family Camp this week went really good.  Even though it rained a ton and around fifty degrees we still had a lot of fun.  It was so cool to see all the families there and together.  The moms got to have a break and sometimes to themselves, and we played all kinds of crazy games with the kids.  There was definitely a big difference in these kids.  The foster program is really good.  These kids were so respectful, and cooperative.  You could really see the good influence being in a family has on these kids.  

Okay so remember that first orphanage that we were at.  We have really missed it a ton, and have really wanted to go back.  So when we were driving to camp we had to go to back to Jelgava to pick up some people.  I slept the whole way there and then Shandi wakes me up.  I am like dude why the heck are you waking me up.  Then, I see that we are at the orphanage.  We all freak out and run off the bus.  Some of the older guys were outside so we got to be out there and talk with them for awhile.  I really really wanted to go see the three kids that live in the crisis center, but knew we didn't have time.  I was talking with the boys, and heard something.  I turned around a those three kids were running around the corner.  It was amazing, and yes I cried.  It was just such a gift from God.  And guess what?? We get to go back tomorrow! We are so excited.

This month has gone by so crazy fast.  I cannot believe its already over.  Tomorrow is our last day pretty much.  Saturday we have to leave our hotel at 3 a.m. so we just are going to stay up all night.  We are ready to see all of you and tell you all about the funny times, hard times, and amazing things God has done here in Latvia.  

Thank you for your prayers

Will be seeing you soon
