Final day of ministry.

Wow!  I am not sure if I can put into words a description of today.

We had a great day of ministry. We had tournaments of games with the kids all day.  At the end, we handed out trophies, soccer shoes to the winners.  We also handed out jerseys, and certificates to all the kids!  This brought me to tears, to see donations from Eden Prairie bring such big smiles to the kids faces, something new, a gift, just for them.

 Today was a day of "goodbyes". We had to say goodbye to the kids that we had been working with all week, goodbye to the beautiful cities that we had been in, goodbye to the beautiful Lake Atitlan (our last boat ride), and goodbye to the wonderful group of coaches and staff that we had been working with all week.  These guys have a passion for the Lord and a passion for soccer and teaching kids about Jesus through soccer.

Tomorrow we will go through some of the houses that were built this week and pray over them and dedicate them.  It will be another big day.  Then we will head to Antigua for a some decompression before heading home.

I am so happy to be able to bring our family on this trip.  It has been an amazing experience for all of us!
