It is a great privilege to be here. Thank you for your support and prayers that made this possible. Tonight we went to the park, it was raining slightly when we got there, but it didn’t dampen our spirits. We started to play games with a smaller group, but it stopped raining, the sun came out and then they started to come, by the end of the night we had a good group of people. Most of the spots that were available for camp have now been filled. It was exciting meeting new kids and getting to know them. They are incredible with tender hearts. I was especially pleased that I played games with a bunch of young kids and didn’t break or pull anything.
Signing off now,
Larry Brady

Hi Charlie, Tess, and Kelsey! And everyone else, of course! I'm missing all of you lots! Today is so cold here!
Kelsey- Are you getting sick of Luke? Just kidding. Hope you're having a great time and that Luke is eating more than power bars and rame.
Tess- Hey there my lady! Today is MG and E's and Toni's 15th birthday! Poor girl. I took her to the kennel today...very depressing.
Charlie- The DMV just called and told us that they rescheduled your driving test for December 20th. Hope that doesn't taint your "status" too much. *wink* Also, you DID say we could paint your room, right? Any ideas for colors? I'm missing you like crazy- I can't even imagine what it'll be like in the fall!
Take care everyone! I hope you're having fun and learning lots!
-Elise
Sounds like a great day so far! I bet the kids will want to go to camp when they find out all the spots are filled. PTL! Lauren, Jacob says hi! Hope the food is settling okay in your tummy! :) I'd like to see you all playing musical chairs here! I loved all the close up photos of everyone. We need one of Lauren, Josh, and Matt (and probably a bunch of others that I don't know too well.) We love you! Mom and Dad, Jacob and Caleb
Chuck, you foolish mutt--
Your man Tiger missed the British Open cut and is going home....Tom Watson (age 59) is tied for the lead...let's hear it for the old guys...give this trip all you've got--like we talked about, this will be a lifelong memory. Reach out to all those great kids joining the camp. Miss your mug.
Love, Dad
Hi Megan
Glad to see you are still smiling. Sleep deprivation is not so bad, I have been doing it for years. Mom, Catie, Grannie Annie and Ham all say Hi. We miss you Eggs!
Love Dad
Thanks Lief, Daniel and everyone! There is nothing Z likes better in the morning that a HUGE family hug! ;-)

Sarah (Z's mom)

Wow - these are some great photos! It looks like Maren ate a sour lemon in 1 of them. Way to go Larry on playing all the games. It's great to hear about all your experiences so far. Keep writing! What a privilege to have the Lord use you in this way, as ambassadors for Christ. I think the best is yet to come.
Leaders: way to go on, keeping it all together for the group; Nate: see if you can keep Josh out of trouble; Brianna: eat some Romanian sausage (you don't need to know what's in it!); Lauren: I think Caleb is still posing as you & wet to UM to change your class schedule; Josh: we're missing your happy face & lame humor; we went to use your wetsuit the other day, but you left it in California! (why?)
All for now - praying God gets all the glory, in you & through you!
- Josh C's Dad
Wow, whoever has been taking the photos, keep it up, they are great!
Carolyn
A classic Maren photo. Your facebook friends will love it.
Larry, my good friend, should I make an appointment for you with your orthopedic surgeon, chiropractor, or internist (or all of the above) upon your return?
Blessings,
Jim (Maren's dad)
I want to send out one more note before you head off to camp. Grandma and Grandapa and all your aunts and uncles are praying for you and your team. I sounds like you are having an incredible time with so much more to come ... enjoy every minute. Let God work through you to touch others. You are with me always, Mom
