Charlie, Trey and Ricardo jumped right in and started the Good Choices program with the students. They talked about a variety of topics: how to be a good friend, the importance of resolving problems, taking care of your body, etc. Best of all: they got to play basketball! The kids (and translators) LOVED playing and enjoyed shooting the basketball. They had a hard time waiting their turn, but who can blame them?! The afternoon was spent with the Secondary students and they also really had a good time interacting and engaging with Charlie, Trey and Ricardo.
The medical team (Belinda, Deb, Heather, Sabine and Marissa) did some follow-up with students that needed one final re-check before they head home for summer break. It went well and there weren't any huge surprises, which is always a good thing!
Rene had a few too many things on her plate today, which was totally her own fault, so Pastor Will was gracious enough to step in and take over doing the interviews with sponsored students while she went and worked on other projects. He very much enjoyed getting to speak one-on-one with the students and learn more about them personally as well as hear about their future plans.
Overall it was a very busy (and VERY hot) day, and we were all excited to share about our experiences when we met tonight at devotions. We are excited to see what tomorrow brings!
