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....

Here we go!

Yolanda here...

Today is the first day we´ll get to spend with the kids, and I think we´re all ready for that! I am so excited to be able to play volleyball with the groups of older girls- that was such a special thing last time. I hope that I am able to have some one on one with them.

This trip so far has been much different from last time. The hotel is nice, we have been eating great restaurant meals, and I even got a hot shower this morning! It almost feels like this part is the vacation! I am sure I will be exhausted by tonight... out schedule is very busy. Please pray for strength and endurance for all of us!

Yesterday was incredibly long, but wonderful. We ended the day by going to a local church service. It was wonderful to worship with the local congregation, even though I understood very little of it (except for Mitch York`s LONG message!). It is cool that we are working with local churches!

Ok, it is time for breakfast, so I am going to take advantage of tea and toast!
