Flip flops and pictures

We went to go kick around a soccer ball/football at a pitch near us. Took about 3 minutes for kids to start showing up. Took another 2 minutes of asking them to come play to get some teams together. Took another 30 seconds to tell them we’re really bad at this game. Took another 30 seconds for them to prove us completely accurate in that statement. School kids in flip flops or bare feet were sprinting all around, just taking the ball from us… hilarious and humbling. When they started sprinting, flip flops would go flying... then they would realize how far behind we were and stop and fix their shoes. One of the teenagers spoke English and helped us out, but it’s a good thing sports don’t really require much discussion, because we were far too out of breath to speak. When we stopped a little before dark, all the kids looked at us like we were crazy for being tired. They were probably good to go for another 3 hours.

Here are some pictures because I love you. Take your time enjoying them because the power went out 3 times while I was trying to upload them. It also took twice as long to bake a mango pineapple crisp tonight because we had to switch ovens 3 times. One oven blew the power out to one house, the second one was electric and cut off when the power went out, and we finally got it baked in a gas oven in the third house in the dark. Neighbors are good things to have.

 

We hiked up to the top of the point out on the lake and climbed some rocks and we could see all around and it was glorious. God's creation is beautiful.
