The campers hiked to a village to get more food for the trip and had cell signal, so here is the latest update! George has been cooking some for the group. One meal was roast chicken and pelmini (a Russian dumpling). He also made spaghetti with meat for a meal and egg salad sandwiches for another meal. Everyone was very happy with the chef!
The weather has warmed up a bit, but it is still cool. The river water is really COLD according to Claire who braved the elements and washed her hair in the river! Some of the group has been rafting.
George, Claire and Kevin are becoming very popular at the camping area. Other children are gathering around and want to visit and have their pictures made with them, because they have never seen Americans!
Here in America, the main mission team is getting ready for their trip on July 20! Nine more of us will leave that day for Tomsk to join the others. Billy will leave this Tuesday, July 13 so that he can spend an extra week with his friends in Tomsk. While we are in Tomsk, we will work with the children in the orphanages, as well as have a "Marvin Mender" project at Tomsk United Methodist Church. We can't wait!
