What Were We Thinking?!?!

About four years ago, we tried to close our mission trip with a big kids rally, but the people who ran the park wouldn't let kids from the garbage dump run on the gas. Last year, we had the rally day at a small property owned by  the church. This year, we worked with another place called Colegio Torricelli. There is a swimming pool, various play areas, and much more. And it was family day, so whole families came. Part of the day was spent teaching parents how do strengthen their families, and the rest of the day was fun, teaching, piñatas, grilled chicken, and games.

This was the crowning event for the week, and we knew it would be big. As the list of attendees grew in size, we kept asking, "What were we thinking?!?!" Some said it couldn't be done, but about 800 attended. There were clearly a few hitches, but the team did an amazing job, and I think we can safely say that this was a big success. Thanks to God, a great group of workers from the church, and a great team!!
