Day 1

Day 1

We landed safely, and after a late night and early morning, the trip is already in full swing!

After breakfast at our amazing chefs house, the "soccer team" (Jordan L, Jordan M, and Adam) left with Tyler to head to the prison. The rest of the team was asked to run a half-day program for 50 students from a local high school. The team did an AMAZING job! We're so proud of them already! 

We had a fabulous lunch before heading back to the gym to organize supplies and take it easy for the afternoon- but some unexpected friends showed up in the form of a girls soccer team hoping to spend the afternoon with us. So our team, with amazing upbeat attitudes, sacrificed their precious nap-time and swung into action throwing together a program for the team complete with a talk, reflection, and soccer game! 

Things with the prison team went great as well, they spent the day visiting with a sector of isolated inmates, and really enjoyed building relationships with them!

We reunited for an early dinner and frozen drinks, and headed back to the gym to debrief, plan for Day 2, and get to bed early! 

We will do our best to continue to keep you posted here, and we're working on getting active cell phones to start calling home! 

Keep the prayers coming for our team!! 

Here are a few pictures from today's school outreach! We love you all!
