Hola From Peru!

Hello Guys!

This is Shamon saying hi for the group in Peru. We are sitting in an internet cafe in Cayalti Peru. Currently we are in the middle of showing the locals the movie Facing the Giants. The movie theater is very state of the art. Basically it consists of a movie projector hooked up to a laptop and projecting on the side of a building. The people that are watching the movie are sitting in chairs in the middle of the street. I hope they are enjoying it.

It has been hard to get internet access because we have been on the run constantly for the last three days. The soccer clinics to date could not have been any better, but there is nothing that we are teaching the kids about soccer. They are very good.

We broke down into two groups for the clinics that we have been running. Basically, we have the kids broken down into multiple teams and then they play each other throughout the day. In the breaks between half times and after games we give short devotionals. The kids have been very responsive to this so far. They love the attention. Loving on these kids really leaves a lasting impression.

Andy says hello everyone!

The camp that I have been involved in was in a very remote area. It was amazing how we bounced along a dirt road in the middle of the barren desert for an hour to come to a little adobe hut with tin roof and there is a little sandy field that we are playing soccer on.

Oh yeah, so far Andy has been stung by a wasp and fell through a chair (had to get that in). This has been much enjoyment for the rest of us.
