...and here we are

We finally made it to Slovakia yesterday--the first group arrived mid-morning and the second group of us arrived last night around 6:00.  One thing is for sure, an extremely prolonged journey makes the arrival that much sweeter :)

Today was the first day of camp for us (the second for the Slovaks) at the DEPO.  We started off with an opening program which included a camp song & a Bible story with a skit.  After that, the kids headed off to english lessons with some of our ladies.  The rest of the morning we hung out, played some foosball and ping pong, made bracelets, and other fun things.

This afternoon we headed to a local park and played games with the kids and tried to recruit more kids to come play with us so that they get plugged into the program at the DEPO.  Plugging kids in means getting kids connected to the our missionaries here, and ultimately plugging their parents in to hopefully share the Gospel with them.

It was a great day, and we are looking forward to tomorrow--we're really hoping that we are all caught up on sleep in the morning!

Here's some straight-out-of-the-camera shots to give you a feel for how things went today:
