Sports Camp comes to an end!


Sports camp concluded with the Haitian students learning Skateboarding, One Base, Frisbee Golf, Ultimate Frisbee, Four Square, American Eagle, Parachute Extravaganza, Dance, Balloon Juggling, Dress up, Cup Game to music, Soccer, and Wrestling. 
 

The kids on our team are doing a great job and there is no doubt they are seeing and being challenged each days in ways that are growing and strengthening their faith.  It is very refreshing to see. Therefore, they are determining to be good stewards of the opportunities that present themselves and they pray for when back in the states.

My favorite time of each day has been our evening small group time.  To hear how each one was impacted by the sights, sounds, and experiences has truly been a joy for me.  I have found my heart full and challenged as well each night.

Sports camp has ended and I have found it sort of a relief.  Things worked pretty well, but they definitely didn't go with the kind of interest I thought the students would have in things.  It was very difficult to engage the kids.  Yesterday's game of American Eagle 1,2,3, was probably one of the most unexpected thrills of camp.  The kids all got into the game and it made for a lot of exercise and laughter.
Today we delivered water and saw how the trucks are loaded with water. The Cost to fill the entire truck canister is $5 that's all!

The water truck today was quite an excursion.  I felt like a human jungle gym as I and other worked to entertain the kids as they swarmed the truck and wanted the attention. 


 
We tried to come up with numerous ways to entertain, and what seemed to work for me was the throwing and lifting of kids.
the kids that are in the streets near our guest house.  We plan to take them on in a quick game of soccer.

God provides yet another wonderful morning of adventure and challenge!
