You don't want to get too over heated with that baby. I know I sound like a mother. I just know what it is like without AC. Praying for you all.<br />StephStephanie M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-55407195545112206252010-08-03T06:54:09.773-07:002010-08-03T06:54:09.773-07:00Jolene, After being introduced to your blog I spen...Jolene, After being introduced to your blog I spent the rest of the evening reading most of your 2010 posts. What a godly, spiritual lady you are and what a great work you and your family are doing in the Ukraine. When I read about Alina I was so touched and humbled by her and her testimony for our Lord. What a miracle for her to be able to attend camp! I know your heart is broken for the orphans, but God gave you Alina instead this year. Thanks for loving my family and for this opportunity. I will be praying. By the way, Ryan's favorite candy is Reece's PB cups too. -BobbiBobbi T.http://www.nvbc.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-27324430066370352122010-08-03T01:05:19.253-07:002010-08-03T01:05:19.253-07:00Looks like a fantastic start!!!

Dave told me on the phone yesterday that the preaching's already been so good - and then in your email I got to see Bro. Ryan Thompson, plus I got to see my husband in one picture! <br /> <br /> We're all praying here for the Lord to work in the hearts of the teens there. Thanks, Jolene, for all you and your husband do to make this conference possible. My one main regret of not going this year, was that I wouldn't get to be with 2 of our girls, Nane` & Rosa, who came for the first time. Last year, and the year before, they fulfilled all the requirements that our teens have to do in order to go on this trip (Scripture memorization, church attendance, evangelism/church ministry, daily Bible reading & prayer, etc.), and yet they couldn't go because of document problems. Long story, but their mom's passport got lost years ago, and without her passport, they couldn't get a passport, and on and on.... Both times, 2 yrs. ago, and also last year, their hopes were dashed again and again, as their mom & dad tried to get her passport done, before that, they had to have living permits somewhere, etc. (you know the drill) - anyway, it was just pure torture with the documents, and praise the Lord, finally, this spring Marina (their mom) got her passport and then they were able to get theirs. So this is the 3rd year they've been trying to go to the conference, and finally get to! So it's pretty special. Their mom, Marina, got saved about a year and 1/2 ago, - but pray for their dad, Jora, to be saved. He comes to the services, and we keep praying he will surrender and get saved. Anyway, that whole story - but I thought maybe you'd enjoy getting to know the background of 2 of our girls who are there right now with you. You can tell them I said "hi" <br /> <br />Bye for now,<br />GinaGina S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8390476432012676756.post-40687683733228926092010-08-02T21:03:52.966-07:002010-08-02T21:03:52.966-07:00Hello Jolene, I just wanted to pop in to encourage...Hello Jolene, I just wanted to pop in to encourage you and say thanks for leaving a comment on June's blog about what I had written. I'm glad you liked it. You are doing a wonderful work with your hubby in Ukraine - hope the teen camp is a great success for all. God bless you both mightily!
