Dear Praying Friends,
We arrived home safely from Bolivia at the end of May and started right into the summer activities.

Our final weeks in Bolivia were good. We had Pastor Rodolfo from Santa Cruz, Bolivia come to Tarija to do a deaf fellowship for us. We spent one day visiting various Deaf that we had contacted in the city. We also had a chance to visit the deaf school again. Bro. Rodolfo happened to be friends with some of the teachers. We were well received and I believe there was some good groundwork laid for future interaction with the school.

The activities we had planned for the weekend went well with introducing the students from our class to the Deaf in the community.

Summer Camps
We have completed 3 of our 4 weeks of camp this summer. So far we have seen 17 Deaf saved!

It is a blessing to see the maturity in some of the campers. Seeing them grow and mature from one year to the next is encouraging. Certainly not all the kids who come through camp are in church and growing in the Lord, but it is great to see those who are.

As you read this, we are in our last week of camp at the Bill Rice Ranch for the summer. This is a deaf family camp. It will be our biggest week of the summer for deaf campers. [Which has now ended and we saw 2 more Deaf saved.]

The camp in Arizona will have their deaf camp towards the end of August. I will be speaking there too.

BIO Enrichment Week
This summer we had almost 30 missionaries in attendance for our Enrichment Week. The vast majority were current BIO missionaries, but it was also good to have older missionary kids attend who are looking at being missionaries themselves.

Of the attendees, six of them are new missionaries just starting their deputation journey. We enjoyed fellowshipping with veteran missionaries and hearing them share their experiences with the new appointees.

The next couple of months for us will be time catching up from the last 6 months of mostly being gone. There are some office projects that we will work on in between shorter trips to be in churches.

Thank you for supporting us in prayer!
