Last night Scarleth and I brought 30 of of youth into Leon and kept them overnight. We went to a Christian concert at the baseball stadium in Leon. Oscar and his wife, Scarleth's sister and son, Sergio and Francis, Tommy and Linda, and Susan and Jessalyn were all with us, so we filled up a decent section of the stadium.
Redimi2 (red-e-me-dos), a hip-hop/reggaeton Christian rapper opened for Alex Campos. Both artists were very different but our youth group and the packed baseball field and stadium loved both parts of the evening. We got there just after 7:00 PM to hear Redimi2's first song and stayed through Alex Campos encore. We got out of the stadium at 11:00 PM and walked a 6-8 blocks to the places we had to sleep. Scarleth kept the 18 girls, and Daniel and I were with the 12 boys.
The kids would not go to sleep, even though we made it very clear we were leaving at 7:00 AM Sunday morning. I think the boys finally feel asleep about 3:00 AM, but were awake at 5:30, and I heard the girls did about the same.
The concert was a great blessing, and all the kids enjoyed their time there. Scarleth and I did have to deal with some attitudes and younger kids not listening, so please pray for our youth to grow up. I love doing things with them outside of the village, but it is hard to stay patient with them all the time. Pray for these kids to grow up, and also for Scarleth and I to practice patience with each of them.
