We visited the Psych Hospital and we are painting a meal room Friday. Played chess with the men and spent the morning there. The afternoon we toured CARD and set in on some English classes. The group then went to S&P to a night English class. Everyone is having an amazing time. We all enjoyed Summer Dolma tonight but really could of had ALOT more, these kids can eat!!! This is one of the best trips I have been on. Please PR for more relationship building as the kids are really connecting. Tomorrow we are finishing the fence at the Children's Home , working at CARD in afternoon and then doing another night class at S&P. BUSY,BUSY,BUSY.

Central Asia Update, Sunday, May 16, 2010
We all made it fine and all of our luggage as well. We did get stopped coming out of the airport and they went through all of the action packers but had no problems with anything.
We made our bumpy trip to G-town (we all might need some chiropractic work done when we get home)and settled in. On our first full day Sunday we went to a foreigners meeting, where we met nearly all of the other foreigners in G-town. After the meeting we had an wonderful stroll with the Hunt family to Ellagance (Pizza) Restaurant and had a buffet of cheese, Italian, and lamb supreme pizza. After that Dick and Rachel attended a B-Group and the rest of us attended the English Club. The English Club had nearly 40 English speaking Central Asians. This was an amazing time building relationships. After nearly 2 hours of games and activities, we carried the fun to the streets where we all played Volleyball and soccer and Mallory took a personal walk with a girl who wanted to walk and have a conversation (this was an amazing highlight). I have never seen kids stay and hang out and socialize like this before. We have a packed week ahead of us and are ready to take it on.
Prayer requests:
God's safety and guidance over team.
More intimate relations with the youth to be built over the week.
For this team to be God's light.
