Mitch York here...

I have very little time to post... the kids have been awesome and we have been well received. In other news, I have now played soccer for the first time in my life, two days in a row. I can say two more sentences in Spanish very well... ¨My enitire body hurts and I want to die.¨ To make it worse, I have been playing with 11 year olds and tomorrow the local adults want us to play them.

Young Mitch taught a great lesson two nights ago and Mike Ritchey gave a fantastic message after we sowed the fïlm Facing Giants. Everyone at FBCNT should be proud of the group they are stepping up and doing great things. Andy got bit by a wasp on the mouth but other than that, everyone is ok. God bless and see you all soon.
