Wow, today was another great day. We taught (more so played) futbol/soccer with the youth today. It was a lot of fun because of course they love futbol. It is always a bit strange to me to see how much other cultures embrace futbol and in the US we just kind of run past it to other sports. Maybe its because we have lots of options but I think it would be really great to see the US embrace futbol the way the rest of the world does.
Please pray for 2 of our teammates who are struggling with stomach illnesses, we really want them and need them at camp but we really want them to be well while they are here in Peru. Due to the fact that one of our teammates missed today, our high schooler stepped up big time. Josh led one of the arts station today where the youth play the cajone or the box drum. Its a pretty difficult task and Josh struggle through bits of not wanting to do it but he totally took over the class. It was great to see him step into that role as we as a team have been encouraging him to step out in leadership.
The sports & arts are working so well here, its working better here than it does in Ambridge, which is really surprising me. I really hope that the leaders at San Mateo (the church we are working at) can see how easy the camp is to run if you have the right leaders in place. Hopefully this will become something they can use to minister to the youth in the community for years to come.
