Day One Recap

Well day one is in the books.... It went really good. We broke down into two teams and went to two different squatter villages to run the soccer camps, vbs, volleyball and bible studies. I watched as my son Christian played soccer with the kids. At first they were not all that willing to pass him the ball, but by the end of the day they were begging for ¨Ingless¨ to help represent one of the local teams that will be in today´s tournament. I just hope that if they win, they wont want to keep him. He did great yesterday and really enjoyed playing with the kids. It is amazing to watch kids that can´t speak the same language work it all out and figure out a way to communicate. Christian and Landy both presented a bible devotion to the kids and at the end of the day, Landy presented the plan of slavation to the adults. The whole community had a blast. We are heading back today. Where I think I am supposed to preach tonight... That should be fun....
