Day 3: Sports, sports, sports.

Hey guys!

So today was a very long day so I’m going to keep this short. Today was a great day in a place called Santa Ana. We also visited the same community as yesterday but today was so much more organized and we got to just hang out with the kids for a while since we were there all day.  For me, that’s my favourite part, just sitting there and trying to speak Spanish to them. Also before we started the games, Gabriela, Natalia and I got to walk down the streets with a big banner and got kids to come with us, it was really cool.


The highlight of my day was getting a bunch of people to pray for a kid that broke his ankle yesterday at our camp. We were walking and saw him in his wheel chair with his cast on his ankle so we went to talk to him. I decided we should pray for him so his family invited us into his home and we all prayed together, it was very powerful and I was happy to be the one who lead it. Mr. Day also just told us that his parents are planning on coming to our Friday’s service and Miguel mentioned how the organization works with places like the church in Santa Ana and by doing things like praying for the boy it is reaching out to the parents as well, which benefits the church, therefore doing the mission.

Also, after the youth camp today we ask if anyone would like to do a salvation prayer to accept Christ into their life and 4 of the kids did it and were excited about it, which got all of our heads and hopes up high and was a good feeling for the team. We went to a beautiful restaurant that we visited last year and went to the top of the building and saw the view with all of the lights, it was so beautiful. So all in all I am just so excited for tomorrow to continue in the beautiful community. God bless.
