Nearing the end...

Lately I have been having a lot of mixed feelings... Ups and downs have set in and I have been constantly attacked by Satan.

Today was a good day though. I went to help with another team in a city not too far from where I live. It was so much fun.

The layout was basically a carnival tent, 35 kids and 30 volunteers. We split them into teams according to fruits and made them go to many different stations to play a game at each one. They had a blast and their faces lit up like the stars in the sky tonight. Can I just add once more that they LOVE Americans.

Before we began all the fun and games, the kids were very anxious about playing and were starting to get out of hand in the tent. I decided to start a series of activities for the guys to do and they wouldn't stop doing each one after I demonstrated them all. I started out with a handstand, they were immediately amazed at my sub-par attempt at it. After that, it was just a blur. Headstands, jumping jacks, somersaults and cartwheels. It was good to finally do something that I thought was useless for kids' attention in the States.

Tonight we had an amazing pasta meal at the M family household and the meals just seem to get only better and better. Please lift me up. Specifically for wisdom and commitment for these last couple of weeks. Thanks so much!!! Love y'all.
