Aww... tHese pictures were taken at the Jamaica SNAC weren't they? I think I was in Florida. :(
Karin Arbuckle, Sandy Kopchick and I will be going to camp next week to cook. We are committed to praying for your trip each day during our cook's prayer time. We have specific people we will be praying for and then we will pray for you all and the ministry in general. May God bless you as you serve Him!
Sorry, here are some last minute technical camcorder comments. If the (wrong) date or time flashes on the screen for more than 10 sec. then push Date or Time on the side of the camcorder to turn them off. Otherwise they will record on the tape. The camcorder has NO image stabilization, so anyone using it must hold it steady with two hands to reduce "shaky" videos.
Well glad you all made it there safely. I pray that God will stretch each of you and mold you. Looking forward to hearing what happens on a daily basis. Rae~ love you tons, etc. Work hard, smile ALOT and enjoy yourself as you serve!
Patrick, if you didn't get to see the World Cup end I'll let you know it went into OT for two 15 minute periods before someone scored....... Spain
First off, thanks for having a blog up again. I can't even begin to express what a source of comfort it is to be able to come here and read about what's going on AND see some pictures too! It helps this anxious momma a LOT!
Abby, we're praying for you! Thanks for the "one last call," sorry I missed it! Love you lots,
Hey Jamaica team!!! I hope you guys made it safely to Jamaica. I could write on and on but I'll shorten it for everyone's sake. To Becca, Gordon, Mitchel, Michael, Lindsey, and Abby: You guys went last year, so you know what to expect, help the newbies out and be a good example to them. To all you first years: It's ok to be a little nervous, once the first day of vbs is over, you'll get over it and you'll be ok. To Elliot, Arianna, Paige, Jack, Daniel, and Haley: You are the few that have been given the opportunity to go to Jamaica 3 years, but just because you've been accepted to go this year, doesn't mean you're a shoe-in for the next two years, so take advantage of every minute you have with those kids. To all of you: Give it your all on this trip, in my first year going I regretted that I didn't do more, but I made up for it the next year, but some of you don't have that opportunity to do what I did. Patrick, Dena, Joe, and Jessica: I hope everyone is grateful for all the time and effort you guys put into this trip....I LOVE YOU ALL
I'll be praying for all of you guys.
LOVE, Arielle
p.s. tell Chris I said hi and that he's awesome!!! :)

Hi Gordon, It was so exciting to hear that you guys were able to share the gospel with your small groups today! I was wondering if any of the children remembered you from last year tonight at the orphanage. We have been praying for you. Have a great last day at VBS tomorrow. We miss you! Love, Mom, Dad, Brett & Samson
