Sports Camp

The first day of the sports camp was a bit of a rude awakening for us. Managing thirty kids turned out to be harder than expected. But, as the days went on, things got easier. The first day was soccer, and the kids seemed to know more about it than we did! And most everybody participated. The second day was football, and we actually had to teach most of the kids the rules of the game. The younger campers ended up playing their own version of football: everybody running after whoever had the ball! We played basketball on the third day, but we didn't realize that the hoops were wayyyyy too tall for the younger ones. All the kids that were too little to shoot the ball ended up going to the playground. By now, the heat and crazy kids had started to really affect us counselors. But, we stuck it out for the last day and had a ton of fun. The fourth and final day consisted of letting the kids choose what they wanted to play, and you could probably guess what they wanted to play: soccer! As the last day came to a close, it finally sank in that we would not see these kids again. We all had a fantastic time at the sports camp ministering to kids from all over the world. We will never forget them! :)

Ps: Saturday is Remy's birthday... he has received the best birthday present ever. He got news yesterday that they have found his parents! Remy's father was taken in the airport when they were on their way here, they had no idea where he was headed but got on the airplane anyways. It has been about 3 years since he has seen them.
