Yesterday was the longest day of the trip. We did morning carnival, afternoon carnival, team time, construction, an evening outreach, and then a campfire circle time at the end. No one had any trouble falling asleep though. We may have just found a cure for insomnia! It went great.
At the outreach last night Pastor Edgar (the pastor of the church that we are partnering with down here) gave the gospel message once again. Standing at the back of the crowd were a group of people that were obviously a little skeptical of what was going on. During his message I was praying for that group of people specifically. At the end every one of them came forward to accept Christ! There were 21 adults that responded to the gospel for the first time. It was amazing!
It wasn't all work yesterday, though. We also took the students to a great taco stand and had the best tacos ever. That's just my little way of making sure they come back next year ;-) They will find themselves craving those tacos as I do, waiting for the chance to come back and eat them again.
All the students and staff are doing very well. Everyone is still healthy, though certainly getting tired. I have a feeling the ride back will be much quieter than the ride here.
We leave tomorrow afternoon, and will spend the night in Riverside once again. I will have the students call on Saturday when we are about an hour away so that you know when to pick them up. We are aiming for 4pm. I will try to post another blog tomorrow, but we will be tearing down the camp, so I'm not sure I'll be able to. Thanks for your continued prayers!

That's incredible how many people are giving their life to Jesus! It sounds like everyone is having a good time. Arabella says she thinks her daddy (Jason Gebrosky) ate the most taco's there today because nobody has been able to win against him eating taco's. He loves his taco's!! Jazzy wants to tell her daddy hurry home my traveling buddy I love you! Amber Gebrosky
