A Quiet Day

Thursday was very relaxed and enjoyable. Two of the groups were gone until Friday, off at the beach, so the Villa was a lot less busy. We took one of the groups to the volcano again in the morning, and then went back for lunch. Afterwards, I stayed back to helped out with whatever was needed, but once a new group that arrived in the afternoon was fed, there was very little left to do. This gave me an opportunity to hop on the computer and talk to my brother for a while and catch-up on some news (Transformers FTW!!! Wacko Jacko, well . . .). My brothers leaves July 3 for Marine OCS, and I will not see him again until the middle of August, so it was nice to be able to do that. (By the way Alex, I ended up using that program you recommended and it worked. Thanks for the help!) Once things picked up again, I helped prepare dinner for a group that was heading to a local seminary to eat and have a devo, and then I went with them. After all that, we headed back to the SCORE Home, which was unusually quiet since one of the groups that was gone is staying there was one of them at the beach.

Soccer Trip, Day 3, Wednesday, June 17

On the third day of the soccer trip, our team went out in the morning to buy 10 meals for families at a local church. Once we had everything ready, we headed to “The Hole” to hand them out. One of the guys also got two plastic tables and set of chairs for the Sunday School. It was amazing to see people who had so little be so happy because they love God. After lunch, we headed out for another game, which we lost, but I did get a goal. After the game, we gave a few of the players a ride to the bus stop, which was kind of cool.
