Day Two

Here we are, just finishing our first camp championship tournament. We are now done in the first two areas that we were working in. I preached a sermon on salvation today, that was crazy. I can tell you that I am proabably not the person that should be preaching. It was quite the experience. The championship was played in a stadium, and there were probably around 300 to 350 people that came out for the event. We had the volleyball tournament and the soccer tournament. After that we presented awards and sang a song, and then I preached. We were also rewarded with home made rice pudding, I sure hope it does not give us the Inca revenge. It was great. We are very excited about the last two days and are looking forward to the rest of the week. Wardell is going to teach a bible study at the local church tonight. Tomorrow is a day of rest. We all need to regroup and chill for a bit. The days have been long and hard, so we are looking forward to a down day.... Shamon
