June 21st, Wednesday

We got a few minutes extra of sleep as we did not have to be at the school in Via El Salvador until 11:00 even though it takes about an hour to get there. This school is a Christian school with open enrollment (meaning that many of the students are not saved). The presentation was very well received even though I forgot about some of the team members that I left standing holding the ten commandments posters during my part of the presentation. They were a little tired and asked me to make sure I didn't forget next time.

At the end of the presentation, the director of the school thanked us for coming and then challenged us to a volleyball match since I had mentioned that I was a volleyball coach. We played a game against the students and then the teachers decided to give it a try. We won all our matches.

After lunch, we worked on repainting the recreation area of the school. We were able to paint two coats of paint around the whole courtyard.

As we were finishing, the workers from the school who were also helping us paint, decided to challenge us to a game of soccer. Because they at first let us have a couple more players than they did, we got off to a quick start and ultimately wound up winning the soccer game as well. They were quite impressed with Andrea's agressiveness and soccer skills.

We then washed up, ate, and prepared for the service in the church. Our presentation in the church service went well with Ryan sharing his testimony. We did however lose it during one of the songs that we sing as it is a somewhat humorous song. Lindsey started laughing and I was doing OK for a while but I finally lost it as well. We were however still able to communicate the message that we need to stop making excuses for not getting involved in our churches and that we need to be willing to do what Christ has commanded us to do: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel."
