This morning early Dave & I went with Bob to Belmopan to purchase a new refrigerator for the house where the teams stay. We have been in desperate need of a new one for the last couple of years. The fridge is to be delivered on Friday morning. While in Belmopan, Bob made a few other stops as well. We also stopped and got watermelon from a local Mennonite man & his family on the side of the road. We are planning on having it with the kids on our last day of camp. Their watermelon is the best I've had in a long time!

Soccer camp went well again today. Bill shared a story about accepting God's gift of Jesus. He used the illustration of being sick and the medicine costing a million dollars to be cured. If someone came to our house and offered you a million dollars for FREE so you could be healed would you take it? Of course the kids were all saying "yes, yes, yes for sure!" He explained that's how it is with Jesus. He is knocking on your door and offering to save your life forever, we just need to open the door and let him in. Bill also invited the kids to talk to any of us on the team once again if they wanted to receive this free gift. No one came forward this time but you could just read the faces of some of the kids & see that they were thinking hard about what they have been hearing & learning this week. We have only one more day to spend with the kids, so please pray for them to have open minds & ears to hear the message once more! If anything we are definitely planting seeds in them!
