The camp is being run for 4 evenings (we've just finished the 2nd) and the kids (about 600-800) are split into groups. We do a bit of worship with them, small group stuff, and then play soccer!!
We've got a pretty awesome group of boys. Yesterday all they wanted to do was play soccer and didn't pay attention to any of the other stuff, but today they were quite happy to settle down and have a small group time, which was so awesome. I even spoke a little bit of Spanish to them, and then did a little bit of translation (Spanish to English) for one of the American guys. Which I'm pretty pleased about. I can now understand a fair amount. Just not speak it. :-(
So yeah, small group time was really good. Then we did some different fun drills with them, and played soccer. We had a really small group, so it was great playing. And then we played 8 kids against us 4 leaders. Was absolutely brill. So, so much fun!! We were playing beneath this amazing sunset sky, and darkening thunder clouds, and a lightning storm!! It was absolutely beautiful!! Such an awesome time. It is so much fun and so rewarding and just oh man, awesome lol.
I didn't take my camera as it's kinda a situation of take pictures and just watch what is going on, or not take pictures and be involved. And I would rather be involved now.
One of the teams I worked with last year with Homes of Hope are back down this year, and I'm gonna get to build with them again!! It's gonna be super fun! :-)
Did I mention how awesome today has been? Just so much cool stuff has happened, too much to write down!!
I take it you had an awesome day :-) LOL
