MONDAY, 14th

  • we went to the market first thing when we woke up to purchase a basketball and a volleyball
  • we saw some strange things for sale including live iguanas, live chicks, and fish as a whole eye included
  • we left the Gables a little behind schedule and arrived to Candelaria around 11:30
  • Big Dad had 3 different meetings today one on one with 3 pastors...he met with Daniel, Pablo, and Walter and his wife...he said that all of them went very well speaking on financial planning...he said the pastors are all so appreciative of his coming and insight...the last hour was spent visiting village homes

  • Dan bought some tires, poles, and cement to make volleyball nets...they are setting over night...he also showed 2 electricians where to install some wall plugs..played some frisbee and baseball with the kids...and visited homes in the village at the end


  • Teresa met with Linda and the sewing class and discussed some plans for the project of making the childrens school uniforms...she also played duck duck goose, frisbees, and visited village homes with Big Dad and Dan
  • Diego stayed busy with all the kids again...starting with baseball and moving to basketball and soccer..he talked with the 14-20 year old boys and then let then shoot soccer penalty shots to choose some clothes that he brought to the village...he then shared pictures on his laptop in the church of the week so far so the kids could see themselves and friends on a bigger screen than the digital camera...then played frisbee and more baseball while the others were visiting the village homes...at the hotel, Diego helped the front desk man, William, with his english pronounciation and what words in english meant in spanish

  • the kids are really loving the frisbees that Mama Jane donated, they ask everyday to keep one, but when they take them they dont bring them back to play the next day so we will finish passing them out for good and for keeps on wednesday night

the kids running out for the last 8 frisbees monday night
