Hello family and friends,

Last night was a great night of fun and fellowship as we hosted an American carnival.  Naomi set up the events, and the kids responded well.  There were twelve carnival games, face paintings, bead making and of course, lots of water balloons  to throw on Jack, our director, and Thomas, the Chinese host.  Bess had the most popular event, hoisting ping pong balls into a bucket.  However, the face painting and beads were a close second.  The kids loved all the prizes and within an hour, cleaned up our prize table. UNO cards were the most poplular prize.  At the end of the evening, we all lined up for water balloon contest and then we were off to the showers, of course. 

Two of our young kitchen waiters were added to the His roll yesterday to highlight a Huge Kingdom Day.  We even had a beach afternoon of baseball, soccer (football) and building castles.  Some of the teachers even bouth a beach dress from the colorful vendors lined up at the beach.

Today will be our last day at Nan Dai He.  We will have Closing Cermonies tonight and send the students back on a bus tomorrow morning.  All of the students are working hard today to showcase their English speaking improvements over the past 11 days.  There will awards for the Best English Speaking Award (Medals) and Most Improved English Speaking Award(T Shirt).  The hosts are putting together a video of the Camp Highlights of the last two weeks.

All of the American teachers are still showing great passion and zeal.  We will be staying an extra day at this Camp for logistics purposes, and thus will be leaving on Saturday morning to join the other camp teachers inBeijing.Thank you for your lifts.  We feel the strength He is providing. 

Love to all,

Jack and Bess
