Hello to all!
It was a really good day! We went to a big park where they have three or four swimming pools, three soccer fields....volleyball etc. We had a ball with about 48 people from the barrio who help Loys and Theresa run the program in the barrio.
These people have committed themselves to the program and are serving in various areas. Annita, who is the mother of the young girl I baptized last year is the President. She oversees all areas. Some are in charge of the kids church choir. Some are in charge of sports and recreation and many other areas! We started the morning out with some ice breaker games.
This one is me getting ready to slurp down this Peruvian treat, then race 20 yards away to 
find a small cookie buried in a mound of flour. I won this contest and got a small bag of goodies. Anna got in on the fun two. One of the other ice breaker games involved an apple between the forehead of partners. Anna and Kris couldn't keep the apple from falling. 
It was so much fun!

It was so much fun!I got to play goalie today. I found out how out of shape I am(as if I didn´t already know that)! Anna was a scream to watch this morning. She was all over the soccer field chasing down the ball! The very first ball kicked her way suprised her and knocked her over! She got up laughing and went on with the fun! It is fun to watch her take this all in. We all played volleyball before and after lunch. Anna spent a lot of time with some of the small children and Danell this afternoon.
It was such a beautiful place to have some fun and fellowship with our friends!
We just got done with our evening meal and are all going to sit down together for discussion and study. We have some planning to do for tomorrow. One of the things we continue to talk about is be ready for change and be flexible. We´ve seen quite a bit of changes already and that is ok. All things for the Glory of God! They are expecting a transportation strike in Peru on Wednesday. We may not make it into the barrio but will change days if we have to.
Everything is going really well....but we are very tired and will sleep well again tonight! I´ll see if I can get Anna to write a few words a little later.
Love to all!
Mitch & Anna
