A few of us have been playing soccer and football with the neighborhood children everyday. The children love to play soccer and are extremely good at it. The first day we went out with the ball, the children came running down the street to play.
Each day more and more children have come and we have learned almost all of their names and they definitely know our names. Everytime we're playing they call, "Elsabet (because they cannot pronounce Elizabeth) Give me ball!" The boys are the most fun to watch because they fall down in the rocks and pop back up to get the ball back. The girls like to stand to the side and watch. I've been mostly getting to know the girls. They love to hold my hand and give hugs, they are so affectionate and protective. They barely want the boys around us when I'm outside with them.
Yesterday, Molly got the chance to open the door to a spiritual conversation with a few girls. She said they got off track a little bit because of the children constantly throwing the ball to them, but she hopes to continue the conversation today. Please keep us in your prayers for more opportunities to share the Word.
