ok. so the kids of Cascabel adore fútbol. they have gone through 30 plus soccer balls courtesy of the barbed wired fence surrounding their dirt and rock futbol field. to make the adventure more climactic, each and everytime the futbol went over the fence the kids...someetimes only 6 or 7 would jump the fence. therefore i prayed everytime that their necks would not succumb to the barbs. so a few of us got together and drove to a neighboring city where the hardware store is. everything is an experience in itself. long story short..because we are leavin in a half hour for el salvador...we built a chicken wire fence about 6 to 7 feet high in front of the barbed wire most of the way around the field of rocks. lord willing ...this will save the kids from cutting themselves or by being gord by one of the many bulls roaming the woods for food. ha. in the picture here we used the extra material and made soccer goals to help reduce the cost of failing futbols. then we played futbol for 3 hours...well they played..i failed..and fell..and bled...but it was incredible. god is so good. and so big...that{s all i know. so here it is...minus fancy writing and any form of real punctuation or capitalization due to these crazy keyboards. love and prayers dear familia...we miss you.
namaaaste!
