Saturday, June 16th we started out early to do a training session with the Amputee soccer team. It was so great to see them all again! We hugged and jumped up and down when we saw each other. There were 18 from the team there which was a great turnout.
When we arrived at the field they said that they did not have shorts or crutches to train with. I asked Justin and Ed if they were ready for a "missionary test" and they said "yes". So I left them alone with 18 Amputees to teach them some warm up and strengthening exercises. Meanwhile, I went off in search of the equipment and also to get lunch for them.
When I came back after more than an hour, I found the team playing a scrimmage, and really enjoying themselves. Justin and Ed had such big smiles on their faces that I knew they had passed the test with flying colors. They said a young boy they had met the day before helped them translate, and also that the team didn't want them to stop showing them exercises!
Ed also shared his testimony with them and they listened intently.
After the training we went to an orphanage to meet up with the other team we had travelled to Haiti with. We stopped at the school the team had helped build on previous trips and were excited about all the progress. Then we all went to the beach together for the afternoon.
Thanks for praying!
