9 days till camp!

Can't believe our American team will be here in 6 days...
Camp is really sneaking up on us, but we have almost everything done!
Campsites booked, meal plans made, activities planned, grocery and supply lists made, doblo's almost fixed, t-shirts made and on their way with Americans, speakers arranged, and more and more people are registered every day!
Right now I'm at a cafe finishing supply lists and making a training curriculum/schedule for the American team...which is going pretty slowly since I'm sitting by a window looking outside at the sunshine that has finally returned after a good 3 1/2 weeks of Georgia fall/winter temps, accompanied by rain and occasional sleet.
We're had a little more time to relax and have some fun recently. A few of us took an afternoon and went to the mall here and played with the segways, went to the 4D theater, and did the zipline/ropes course.
This next week will consist of some supply shopping, schedule finishing, and preparations for the Americans!
Prayer requests at this time include the couple I've been staying with, Beth and Steve, as they're currently preparing for the stressful move back to the states after living here for 3 years. Also, for MK, Justin and my focus while we're trying to wrap things up as far as planning goes. And for the American team, that they'll have safe travels and open hearts and a peace about them, as this will be most of the team's first time in Estonia.
We were able to help out with an English Camp's after-party last night, and it made me so reminiscent of my first time here 2 years ago; watching all of the teary eye'd goodbyes, hugs, thank you's and I love you's as their American team left the party to go back to Tallinn. There's no way to describe the feeling in your heart after your first time here in Estonia. Seeing everyone today reminded me how incredibly blessed I am that God made this country a part of his plan for me. I can't imagine what a mess my life might have still been at this time if I hadn't made that decision to come here 2 years ago.
I'll update again when we have more things finished!
