A MONTH ALREADY

I cant believe it is already March 14..our youth group met for the 4th time and it went great...I spoke on love...Our theme has been friendship for the past 4 meetings. We had 16 youth from Santa Matilde and 16 from la Isla and around 110 total last night. Just a month ago we had 4 from La Isla and 6 from Santa Matilde with totals around 80-85.

For about the last 30 mintues of daylight 6:00-6:30 we had a big volleyabll game of about 18 vs. 18 boys and girls that was alot fo fun...we had a rap contest during our ice breaker...Kervin from Candelaria, Jesse from Santa Matilde, and I all took turns freestyling christian rap songs. The crowd loved it..I showed some soccer freestyling videos that i found online of some guys doing some crazy soccer trick juggling and dribbling along with the photos and videos of the past week here.

We are still having a great worship time too, so our first hour and a half goes great, but calming them down to listen and focus on our real reason there, the lesson, is still a challenge..We are trying new ways to be more interactive and hoping that soon they will listen more closely to our lessons. We are learning that love is patient ourselves.

Tommy and Linda went to Managua to get their daughter, Melissa and 2 of her friends that will be here for a week doing 2 days of vacation and the rest working in the villages with sports, construction, dental clinic, kids, dance, whatever.

Hoping for a fun Saturday with all of them while Linda and Melissa lead dance and the rest of us play with kids.
