Wow, what a summer!  Most of you know that Drew's Babe Ruth All-Star team beat teams from around the Pacific Northwest to win Regionals and are now headed to Lawrenceburg, Tennessee to the Babe Ruth World Series.  They will be overmatched, but it will be a great experience for them and tons of fun!  For those interested in viewing the games, you can go to the Babe Ruth World Series website and they will be streaming all the games live.  They are in the Central Time Zone so adjust accordingly.  Drew will fly out Monday night with the team and Carole and Karina will fly out on Wednesday.  They will return on the 21st.  Johnny Bench will be speaking at the team banquet and they have several activities planned for the kids.  Camp continues on with 2 more weeks to go.  Next week is "Man Week" and then the last 4th-6th grade camp plus another backpacking camp and one more week of day camps.  Matt has one more work team left and then life should slow down.  Thanks so much for your prayers.  We will try to update with pictures from the World Series.
