We're so sorry for the delay! These past few days have been very packed! Again we have an early morning, so we're going to have to update you now but upload pictures later.
Today was the rest of the TLA/ISC tournament in Comasagua. Everyone really stepped up and worked together to make the event a success. In the afternoon, April, Cindy, Rick and Mona took a break for the tournament to go to a school and visit a class of 15-17 year old students that heard there were Americans in town and wanted to talk to them. They were given rock star treatment (to the point of kids asking for their autographs) and they loved it.
In the early evening, Mona, Russ, April, and Cindy went to the house of the Comasagua Pastor and his family to help make pupusas for dinner. The group all took a break from the tournament for dinner, and what an unbelievable dinner it was! Not only were the pupusas delicious, but the story that the pastor told about his family was so touching that many of the team members were in tears. I am sure the team would love to tell all of you the story themselves!
After dinner, we headed back to the tournament in time for the last couple of games and the trophy presentation. Tyler challeneged the youth of Comasagua to step up as leaders and the Comasagua youth leaders presented thier plans for the community. It was a beautiful ceremony which ended with women doing a special dance for the Americans, the Mayor presenting our team with the crest of the city, and the pastor presenting us with an El Salvador flag.
