This morning Elsa and I left the house at 7:30 to go to the first soccer session. This lasted until about 10:30 and then we went to meet with a woman from Compassion International briefly about child sponsorships in a barrio that Elsa teaches English. We ate lunch and hung out at the office for a bit and then went and got donuts from Mister Donut. (Apparently Salvadoreños are crazy for donuts.) Then I had a second soccer session from 1:30 to about 4 while Elsa taught English. All in all a good day but realized that my Spanish is very rusty (especially combined with the rapid and slurred Salvadoran speech). I also still know very little about what I’ll be doing besides playing soccer and helping Elsa with the youth group. I’m pretty exhausted so I’m gonna keep this post short. Here are a few prayer requests:
Continued good health
Developing relationships with the youth, Elsa, and my host family
Beginning to pick up on more Spanish and communicate better
The blisters from my “tacos” (cleats) would heal and not return
That’s all for now!
