Hey guys

      This week we had club, which was pretty crazy. Down here they do club a little different from the states. One of the things that they do is that they don't plan out the whole year or semester, they get together once a week and we have a planning party. We also have a themed club and so the talk is based off what the theme of the week is, for example this week the theme was Hawaiian. We also plan the games and skits on the planning day, but we never know what the actual game is until it is happening. This week I had the opportunity to do both a game and a "skit"/dance. It was a blast and I definitely enjoyed it, but boy let me tell you guys right when club starts my heart was beating a thousand times a second, I was so nervous. Some of the challenges I faced was: language barrier, volunteers lacked. The language barrier was the hardest thing for me because I am trying to get people to play a game that I can barely explain, luckily though I had mi amiga, Heather King who is fluent and was able to translate for me. 

 

Seriously though I can already tell I'm going to have a blast with my fellow leaders: Romy, Rafa, Carlos, Gabriel, Jennifer, Elsa, Mari Cruz, Liana, Valerie, and Heather. (Insert pics of them.) I am also discipleing a couple of kids which has been very hard but rewarding. We have been going through the book "My First Thirty Quiet Times with God" by Ty Saltzgiver. It is hard to understand because it is in Spanish but what he is saying makes sense and seems to work. I am discipleing one kid named Jairo who used to be heavily involved in a gang. The last time I visited him, he told me that he had a dream that we were on a soccer field and white clouds fell out of the sky and we took one a piece and he took the cloud away and there was a piece of paper with Isaiah 1:18. That is what has been going on with me this past week.
