Today was a little slower due to rain, but we still had a great day. The kids we met yesterday were there when we got there. Already playing soccer in the rain. They stayed all afternoon so we were pr for discipling to take place in these relationships. I also played basketball with another kid who only wants to talk about basketball. pr for him to open up more.

so yesterday my group didn't really connect with anyone like the other groups did and we were all really discouraged. well, today we met a big group of teenagers and tomorrow we are playing soccer with them. the major thing today is that ASH sent me to buy dr. pepper because our group was by the store and there is usually no dr. pepper. well when we got back at the hostel, ASH informed us that he met a little boy who loves dr. pepper, but never gets it. so we are giving him the dr. pepper for his b-day tomorrow. it was just cool to be apart of that.

To start it out, it poured rain today in the morning. THen we met up with the people we hung out with yesterday and I met a 13 year old boy named M. I treated him like a little brother. It was great. He was so energetic and down to earth. It was a pr answered, keep the prs coming.

Today was harsh. God blessed us with rain, giving us a lot of time to pray and reflect which was good. Today I was introduced to some guys that I dislike. Pray for me for patience. I'm playing soccer with these guys tomorrow and it will be a test for me. Pray for my group.

I want to be a good witness to these guys. Pray that I will be a tool for God. I can be excited about tomorrow through the one who strengthens me.

Today I didnt get to meet anybody new but I got more involved with some of the people that I met yesterday. I learned more about them. Please keep pr for me. I want to lead people to Christ but the people that we come in contact with are already Christians. Pr that God will put more people in my life. Also pr that God will give me patience.

Back to C- rainy and cool. I felt refreshed by the mist of the rain and knew we could do the same thing in C. HC time was a great start...then we continued to plow. Slow day but patience is good...ended the day watching several adults playing football with OUR football, hilarious and fun! We are getting comfortable with them and with us. I feel this is a warm location.
Note: met R again today at the WC- looking forward to Wed. HC
(Love ya B, S, and K)

Today started out very rainy and cold but after several hours of rain it turned out beautiful. We met several people in the park today and were able to invite them to our grill on Thursday evening. Marcos, Marvin, and the girls. Tomorrow will be an awesome day.

Today we met up with the 3 guys that we met yesterday and they brought 2 friends with them so that we could play soccer and we only lost by 1 point somehow. When the game was over we took the guys to get eis and tried to carry on a good conversation and invited them to the cookout that we are going to have. After dinner watched 3 guys that worked at the little diner we ate at play American football and that was very interesting. God is still working even though everyone thought there would not be much happening today.

today was a way awesome. discouraged at first because of the rain and the way yesterday went, we split off in groups of two and just prayed. immediately after praying for encouragement and people, God answered with a youth building FULL of kids. we plan to meet again tomorrow! thank God for answered prayers!

This afternoon we went back to our park and when we arrived it was freezing cold! My group and I went and had HC inside the mall at the food center. Afterwards we began to PR walk and speak to different people about their culture. We also talked to the woman we met yesterday and continued to grow in our relationship with her.


JS, Artesia, NM
Today I continued my relationship with Rose. We visited her and read Matthew 1-3 and prayed with her. We also shared our testimonies and talked about her family. Rose is an amazing woman and I can't wait to get to know her more.

Today I got beat by some Germans in soccer, then took them to get ice cream, then we had dinner and watched a bunch of Turkish guys from the restaurant playing football.
