Well, after about 27 hours of straight travel, we made it to Italy. Everyone is here and only a few bags are missing. On the way we were held up on the tarmac @ heathrow for about an hour. this made our 3 hour transfer to gatwick only 2 hours. Not to mention the 1.5 hour bus ride from airport to airport. On the bus I worked with the bus driver, on his personal cell phone, to try to contact british airways to let them know that our group of 16 was indeed on their way. this would mean that when were to arrive we would have 15 minutes to check our luggage and get our buts on the plane. when the bus arrived at gatwick i ran in and found a BA representitive, told her ' I NEED YOUR HELP ' so the 16 of us handbombed our luggage up 2 escalators and we were then rushed to the first class check in to avoid any lines, then rushed through security. However, the Lord was really providing - our flight was delayed an hour and 45 minutes. so we were able to rest for a little bit in the airport before rushing to the gate and getting going.
Camp is going really great today and its exciting to be here. Forgot that there was no protein served for breakfast, so we'll correct this problem for tomorrow - you lose a lot of energy out under this pounding sun.
anyways, lunch break is over. back to camp! here are a few shots!

Oh yeah, - also, some of the kids are pretty troublesome. which of course is to be expected, but if you think of it pray for them, so they will exercise respect and such, particularly a little guy named Simone (sim-oh-ney)
