Well it has been a good week so far. We have had tons of kids looking for projects to earn points toward the ultimate prize of Aqua Magic. It has been so much fun. This week we pulled the ultimate on the kids. We flipped the prizes. The winner of the service projects gets to go to the beach and the winner of the games goes to eat chicken. After much thought we felt it was important for the kids to see that keeping their campus clean and doing kind things for others is much more important than winning a few games.

We will be ending our competition on Sunday night with a drive-in movie. We will have drinks and the dorms will be doing popcorn for the kids. We will be showing Kung Fu Panda. I also will spend a few minutes doing a Bible lesson based on the movie. I have been very pleased with the way the games have ran. Our plan is to do them again next year only with a few changes that we have learned from this year. We also will be doing the service program on a monthly basis. My goal is to keep the kids busy doing things to help others. If you would like to help with prizes for the winning team each month please email me and I will let you know how you can help.

Finally we ask that you continue to pray for us with our adoption. We are trying to get home for the holidays but things are not going as well as we thought they would. Please pray for us that God will make a way for us to get home with the boys!!!

His Servant,
Mike
