Shamon Update

Well here we are. Today we will start soccer camps. I am looking forward to it. Things have been good so far, of course we are in South America and don´t speak the language, and that creates so many issues like trying to have the desk clerk at the hotel set up a wake up call only to have the guy come knocking on my door three seconds later and i am standing there not dressed to take company.... Moving around in a big group to and fro is tough. It takes very long to get around in a big group and it is wearing down Danny since he is translating for us. We went to a service last night where Mitch broke the record for the longest sermon ever. I think it went like three or four hours....
