This is the herdsman's son Asihan(Ah-sih-hon) and I had to say goodbye to him for the last time. He is such a sweetheart and is easily one of my favorite elements of camp. We practice our kung fu on one another.

One last trip to the stables

3 more days till camp is over
This week has been a great snapshot of the entire summer. It has gone relatively as well as it can go. We have had a pack of boys that love to rebel, which creates plenty of headaches for all of us. It has been an up close and personal opportunity to live out being merciful. Let me tell you it has been tough as nails as I like to say because these kids just continue to spit in our faces metaphorically as we continue to let them stay here. Tomorrow is a new day and the Lord really hit me like a train with Titus today and we will see what happens with the boys.

A day of nothing and goodness
Today was our day off and I was able to lounge around, snap pictures of the beautiful wildflowers, and enjoy time with my crew. Today we went to some sort of festival being hosted by Heishantou's police and they had Russian dancers that were interesting to say the least. Tonight we went up to the top of the hill and enjoyed a bonfire.
Lately the weather has been crisp and chilly. It feels like Fall is already on its way. Its been in the 40's and 50's with high winds because the camp is very exposed and relative unprotected. We are surrounded by mountains on one side and jumbo hills on the other. Both geographical features are not very near so when the thunder cracks the sound is absolutely incredible. I mean Bose has nothing on natural acoustics.
On our way back from the bonfire the truck wouldn't start. So Mike popped the clutch and we rolled all the way down this steep hill. I had the great joy of riding in the box holding the roll bar. Then when we reached the bottom Mike tried to get it into 1st or 2nd but the barbed-wire gate was closed so the other Mike had to jump out and race to open the gate. Unfortunately for the gate Mike was not fast enough. I am only kidding. We stopped and driver mike realized he had the gas line pulled out. We eventually made it back to camp and it made for yet another interesting day in China.
