We arrived safe and sound… bags and all team members made it
at the same time! No delays, no lost bags,
no forgotten passports. My family is on
a bit of “sense” overload right now. The
sights and sounds are different for us.
We had our team time tonight and everyone listed his or her “word” for
the day. “Fun,” “merci,” “thankful,” “humbleness”
and “safe” were all words people used to describe this first day. “Smile” is one of the words that I think
of. We played soccer with some of the
neighborhood boys, where they beat the Americans handily, hence the title of
this post. They smiled brightly the
whole time, as they moved the ball right around and through us. My sons were
all smiling brightly themselves, even as we got beat. We are thankful to be here and can’t wait for
what the week will bring. So glad for
the opportunity God has granted us to be here.
