OUR SECOND HOME: They're here!!! (Or at least, they WERE here)

So, the other 10 Interns that I referred to in my last post have been here at our house, and now are gone, but are coming again! These are a group of college students (with the exception of two who are older and already finished with college), who have given their entire summer in service to the ministry of Josiah Venture here in Slovakia. They will be partnering together with the American and Slovak teams at the English camps to bring the Gospel to the youth of this country. Already they have been hard at work: adjusting to life here and learning their responsibilities, preparing for camps, and working on the plans for training the American teams so that everyone will be ready to teach the English classes and share the good news of Jesus Christ.

Since they have been at our house this past week, we have had the privilege of getting to know them and enjoying their fun personalities, their creativity, and their attention! They are an amazing team, and we are loving spending time with them. Our kids absolutely love them, and we appreciate the time and attention that these Interns give to our family. Now they are back at JV Slovakia headquarters, where they are waiting and preparing for the first US teams to arrive on Monday…and then CAMPS BEGIN!! Thank you for praying for these 11 Interns (including Seth) as 3 camps in a row can get really tiring (exhausting even)…and for the impact that they will have on the kids that come to camp. Here they are…

Seth and Ed continue to be the Master Grillers!!!

GIRL TIME…out to coffee…one of my favorite times with these Interns yet!!!

These next 8 pictures are of the Interns practicing a welcome skit for the American teams who will be coming to serve at the camps. You might recognize which song they've borrowed the tune and the actions from, just from looking at the pictures, and you might not. But I wish you could hear their version of the song…it is just hilarious.
