Day 3 was better than the rest! Everyone at Refugio was in a better mood, which made everything so much easier! Matt and Cody went to visit the prison to play basketball and volleyball with some of the men there. The inmates won the volleyball games, but our boys bested them at basketball! The men at Refugio noticed their absence- one of the men who loves basketball was asking where Matt was. We also gave the men some fruit today- I think that was their favorite part! When we got to the church site we walked the streets looking for kids and inviting them to the church, but the pastor’s wife came with two separate loads of kids giving us around 20 kids for the day! Amy, Kelli, and joe, the kids and Nurse Nikki also joined us at the church and park. It turns out Joe is quite the soccer player! The kids enjoyed playing with some of the local kids on the play set. We’ve been invited to have lunch with the pastors family tomorrow, we’re looking forward to that!
The wind was crazy today, so we had to drop our tents for fear of dirt getting all over in them or them blowing away, and we had to have students hold the music stands for worship, but tomorrow looks like it will be more calm!
Great pictures I love the video. Sofia did a great job leading the song . Good job on the Tambourine Dakota. Sorry to hear you had to put the tents down because of the wind. Hi Dakota Brandi and Victoria and Aunt Lora . We miss all of you very much. Thank you so much for posting all the pictures and for telling us what you have been doing.
Absolutely love the new pictures and stories of your day!! Glad to see Anna up and helping with the day. I truly can’t wait to hear the stories of this year.
