“Hoedown & cowboy hats were a hit. Horseshoes & washers. Banya too! Campfire & s'mores tonight. We are all happy & healthy. Please send notes to families too! XOXOXO”
Dobriy dyen', ya’ll! (or Howdy, as we would say!)
That’s probably what they’re saying over there after last night! The latest text from Holly and Jenny was brief (see above), but the western hoedown last night was undoubtedly a hit! They introduced the Russian kids to horseshoes, washers, cowboy hats, and square dancing. Then, in a purely Russian tradition, they hit the banya! Tonight, they’ll sit around a campfire, toast marshmallows, and make S’mores, a real crowd pleaser last time I was over there! Holly says everyone is happy and healthy and they send their love to all their friends and family!
Tomorrow, it’s back to Vologda after sharing a church service and one last day at camp. I know there will be tears, from kids and adults alike! But I know that these kids will leave more blessed than they came, and may just end up beginning a new relationship with Christ because of this experience! I can say with absolute certainty, the team has been touched in a way they will never forget!
Keep the prayers coming!
Till the next update (maybe it will be Jenny posting!),
Carey
