Word from Maggie, Darlene, Sarah, Carly, Ellie and Sarah! (the ladies)

Hola amigos! Wonderful morning in Los Robles playing with the village children. Much more organized than yesterday thanks to Erin´s spanish speaking skills. The Parachute was a big hit, and it helped that the children were actually listening so they had more fun working together. Austin and Steve tried to organize a kick ball game with all the rowdy boys, which also went better than yesterday! We experienced some new frisbee and jump rope chants and had fun reading spanish stories and just being there to love on the children. The basketball crew had a great time as well and we were all able to be apart of handing out jerseys, socks and shoes to all the older basketball players. Most were wearing the only pair of shoes in their family, so it was a blessing to see how grateful they were. Lunch was spectacular, as well as the ice cream which followed. Also, Guadalupe, who is head of the sponsorship program, shared with us the specific needs and whole process of sponsoring a child. We would love to share more with you about this when we return! Our team is beginning to get used to the heat, however we still enjoy our dips in the pool! You would be proud of us...our Spanish skills are improving! (except for Dar that is..(:)
Tonight we plan to go to Julio´s Church to watch Vic and Mo´s marriage seminar and we may even get to go to a revival at a stadium afterwards!!
Well, on our way out to another Batey- Altagracia!
Thank you for your prayers, they have been deeply felt!
Adios, Buenos Dias!
