I can't believe we're done with our soccer camps...it has gone by very quickly because we have been so busy. It has been non-stop action and laughs this week! I'm exhausted and still trying to process all we've seen and done this week. The emotions have been overwhelming at times...joy, sadness, frustration...you name it and I've experienced it this week.
On the one hand, most of the people are precious and have gone out of their way to welcome and love us but on the other, there have been some that were just looking for what we could give them. It was humbling to see them crowd around us and laugh at our attempts to speak spanish, yet it was hard to give and give and give of yourself. It has been great being a team and getting to know one another on a deeper level, yet it's frustrating trying to make decisions and travel with a group of over 20 people. But, all in all...a wonderful experience and I can't wait to come back!
Just to make you laugh...we are truly a traveling freak show here. Everywhere we go, people point and stare and crowd around for pictures...with Andy and Mike being giants, Mitch and Mark with their red hair and fair complexions, Shamon and Wardell's bald heads, our matching shirts, our pitiful spanish...well, it's just something to see! We have had a blast!
Keep us in your prayers as we prepare to travel this weekend to our side trip destinations...Amazon jungle, here I come!
