Loch Tay Expedition Second Report (Part 2)

Hi everyone.
We have a little bit more news from camp today. Hopefully you received Richard's email regarding his conversation with Kirsty last night. This morning's report comes from Rogan.
Things seem to be gong well. The issue of cannabis on camp has eased off. The leaders had a chat with those involved and things more or less seem to be sorted. The two girls on camp, Jasmine and Danika were spoken to last night and, despite dropping hints that they were not happy with the camp, they (along with Chris) are the ones responding most positively to the Time Out sessions. This is truly God at work since it was Jasmine who had a poor attitude from Day One. According to Rogan there is something more profound happening with those three than with the others.
Last night all were in bed by 12, except for Alan and Ryan, who sat up and chatted quietly. It's a good sign that some friendships are being made. The conditions to day are good so far. It is windy, and if the wind eases off, they plan to lash the canoes together and do some sailing. However, right now the sail would blow away if they tried to erect it. It will be a heavy day of paddling today, about 6 - 7 hours, so please bear that in mind. The amount of paddling is not the best for Kirsty's wrist, which was hurt last night, as mentioned in the previous email.
The kids are quickly running out of cigarettes, and should be completely depleted by this evening. The instructors along with the Reality volunteers are dong well and thoroughly involved with everything. Claire and Graham, the other two Reality leaders are also doing very well.
That's it for today. So please pray for:
1) Kirsty's wrist and that it would be healed to allow her to continue with her one-to-one repoir with Jasmine, who really needs that connection and really needs Kirsty's s help paddling (they share a canoe).
2) Good weather today, and for the rest of the week.
3) The kids would not be affected by the lack of nicotine, Irn-Bru, etc which are rapidly diminishing.
4) God's continued work in Jasmine, Danika and Chris and that the rest of the kids would be receptive to the work God can do in their lives.
Many thanks everyone. Tomorrow's update coming soon!
Have a wonderful day!
