Thursday's focus for half of the team was a "field day" at the local school. Can you imagine keeping 180 children between the ages of six and sixteen entertained for four hours? How about if
you only have a quarter-(football)-field worth of rough concrete? How about if you can only understand a fraction of what they say to you?
It was a stretch for us, too! But Brent, our local recreation expert, made sure we were sufficiently prepared with gear, and with God's evident blessing, we had a blast. The highlight for many of the students was the new tetherball, but the highlights for the team involved were the wonderful interactions with the students and the warm gratitude from the staff.
