Eric Triassi: Howdy ya’ll it be Eric. Today we hosted the 2009 Spring Olympic games. One thing I might say about “the games” is that they were “eventful”. We set up four different events, and I really have no idea about three of these but I can put light on the one event I have a slight idea about, the obstacle course. Put simply, the kids were to form into two lines; that was the first obstacle. Once that got tackled, I was designated to attempt an explanation of the rules of the course, which I will state for you now:
Equipo uno, corre por aqui, meten aqui, aqui, y aqui. Corren por aqui y toquen esa naranjara cosa. Regresan por aqui otra vez. Corren aqui y meten aqui, aqui, aqui, y levantan aca. Toquen esa naranja cosa, y saltan por aqui, entienden?
(More or less, run through here, touch the orange thing, go back, run through here, here, and here, climb up here, touch that orange thing, jump down here.)
‘Twas chaotic, but I’m fairly sure that Pete and Jim would have it no other way, I know I wouldn’t.
P.S: Mexico won gold in all events.

Judy – you guys look amazing in those tshirts. What a spectacular idea!!! I grabbed that picture and sent it out in today’s constant contact to the youth department. Its so exciting seeing how God is working in each of your lives as well as in those precious children’s lives. Keep up the good work and prayers are goin’ up for you all! Lynn
WOW! It seems like you all are having fun. What a group you guys have to teach the good news to. We will all pray for you, and hope that you have a great time and a great trip home to America. I really like how the olympic games went. The kids look so happy!
