Day 6, the soccer tournament!

Hey Guys!

Sorry we didnt get a chance to upload anything last night, we were exhausted! Yesterday was our big tournament. Half of us went out at 7:20 and picked up kids from Armenia and brought them to the indoor soccer complex, while the other half of us left at 8:20 and went to the soccer complex and helped set up.

The six boys from our team were able to play in the tournament against the older Honduran youth teams. All 9 girls each had their own team they were responsible for coaching-making sure they had food, water, knew when they were supposed to play, and encourage and cheer them on. It was a really great opportunity because we were all able to build relationshiops with the kids on a more personal level.

The soccer tournament ended around 3, we took the kids back, and then came home for some pizza. We were able to have a sort of night off which was really awesome. Please continue to pray for team unity, and that we would not get homesick. Thank you for all your prayers and support, it has been so encouraging! We will try and post some more videos soon.

We'll see some of you for our skype call at East Lanier! We miss all of you!
