Previet!!! Hello!!!
Well I don't even know what to write.
Seriously.
My mind has been doing a lot of thinking and getting nowhere. Like the hamster in the training wheel. I don't feel I am learning anything really, I am not being spiritually challenged in any way I can pinpoint. I can't decide how I feel about any given subject.
I do however know I have been drinking lots of carbonated beverages and not enough water.
I also know I don't care.
But I don't know what to think about it.
See what I mean?
Things are going well, lots of Russian goin on here. Some of the Moldovans are total characters. Vitali for one, this guy makes me laugh nearly every time he opens his mouth, he is loud, obnoxious, funny, and Russian, so really I have no choice. There is a dude here nicknamed Vova who looks more like an ox than any man I have known before. I think a car hit him the other day cause he had a Volkswagon bruise. This guy is huge. Everyone over here plays football, and by that I mean soccer. There are some UK dudes with us and so it definitely will be called football for now. And most people here are serious about their volleyball skills. I saw some 40 plus people playing in the park early one morning and they could have contested with our GPRC team I am sure. Nutz.
This is a younger age camp than Lingo is used to running, usually they do ages 20-30, this one is 14 to 20. Almost all of these campers are high school aged kids. I was expecting a heavy emphasis on the teaching aspect of english, but what I am understanding is that the director is much more concerned about us building relationships with these students and by talking with them the english will rub off. So thats new...
Well I have some more time and I think I will nap or play guitar. Its been a bit of a summer and I am feeling the wear a bit, but not as much as I would have thought. Praise Jesus for that! Speaking of thanksgiving, we have had some health issues that have come up and all of them have been met with a speedy recovery, thanks for your prayers!
The biggest thing you could be praying for is that those who are here who have not experienced the love of Christ would experience that through the Moldovan and English teams here. There are a lot of unbelievers here and we are really connecting well with them, they are very accepting of us and always appreciate our company, may they also be accepting Christ in the same manner. Pray that they would know God better through this week.
And as you pray for us, may you be drawn near to our LORD as well.
I really should get some Russian phrases on here....I know. Crook! (Circle) There you are.
Later friends!

Kaleb, message to Andrew..."Andy, email your mum, let her know you are alive and well". This and lots of love from your mum.
Hey my friend, here are a few thoughts form one who is also drinking way too much pop and not enough water :)....maybe this time is a time to simply give out, to give yourself to the people, the program, and just pour Jesus out on them at the level you are at. Maybe this isn't a week where you will be challenged, or maybe it isn't a week where you are supposed to grow, maybe it is simply a week to simply serve and pour out on the people there. His Spirit is in you and with you, you ARE a servant of the King, you DO love Jesus... That is all you need to be, just be that, rest in that promise and allow God and His power to just use you as an instrument. We don't always have to understand what our role or place is, to be that role or be int hat place. God is bigger than our understanding and our ability to always understand. Go with the flow. I know you, you want to be faithful, you will be. Take in the experience and follow your heart, it is one that is tuned to God, so you won't be heading off the path!
Praying for Ya!
Randy
