    Yesterday we had a surprise for the kids coming to the field. We had a water balloon fight during the middle of a game of link tag! Once the kids got over their initial confusion they started grabbing and throwing water balloons at each other! Two minutes later every kid on the field was wet from the balloons, and everyone had so much fun. After worship some the kids wanted to know if we’d be on the field this weekend so that they could come back to play games. They were a bit disappointed to find out that we would be leaving Saturday morning.

     

    Today we decided that we needed to relax a bit so we went to Lake Como as a way to cool off from the hot weather. As an extra surprise, some of the Corvallis kids joined us for the trip to the lake. We jumped out of the vans and dropped off our towels before splitting into two groups. One group stayed at the beach and the second group decided to take the three mile walk to the waterfalls on the other side of the lake. The scenery was beautiful and when we arrived at the falls most of us decided it would be a good idea to take a dip in the refreshing water. After we got back from the falls, we all ate lunch and took a quick dip in the water before heading back to Corvallis. We just finished our last dinner, and we are so thankful for all of the delicious meals that were brought to the church this week. We are just about to leave for the fields, and we know that we are spending the last few hours with this amazing community in the best way possible. The kids here have been so much fun to hang out with and we all know that leaving tomorrow will be very hard to do. We have made many new friendships, and we are very thankful for the chance to help this community.

     

    God Bless
