We have been very hard at work this week and wrapped up our final day at the school today. I played all morning with the kids on the soccer field and basketball court. In between games, I had a really good conversation with the gym teacher at the school. He told me that he was so happy for the group and I to be there. He was really excited that we had brought soccer balls for the school because the school competes in a national soccer tournament and in years past had not had any soccer balls to use to practice. But when Hardin brought soccer balls two years ago they started practicing and in the last two years they have won the national championship with both the girls and boys teams. The coach was really excited and said that the school is both a great school in academics and extracurricular activities.
Tonight, we are heading to a church the group has worked with in the past. We were able to invite many of the families and kids from the school to the church tonight. I am hoping to see Nahi and his family there tonight. Nahi and I have been talking a lot this week and I have been teaching him some stuff in basketball and other things. I invited him and his entire family at the end of the school day and gave the directions to the church tonight. I am praying that they are able to attend the service tonight!
