Day 4 - Let's get this thing going

It was the second day of the camp....unbelievable how much these kids have learned and how much they have taught each of us. Their hearts are so open, willing to learn a new sport, all the while having a fantastic time. This morning we had a camp from 9-12 at a different site than the first day, at an outdoor sport complex. What great placement the Lord had in store for the camp, as there were serveral football (soccer) players that came to practice and instead particpated in the camp. For the afternoon session, we headed back to the school where we added a couple of more participants and continued skill development. We had a delicious dinner and then got ready for English Club. English club is an organization Shannon heads up to teach Ukrainians how to develop their English. Each team member worked individually with a native Ukrainian discussing our state as well as learning nursery rhymes and defining what they meant. Shannon put a Texas twist on it, with the Mother Goose Texas book, giving the us Texans a chance to share the Texas pride we hold. They also shared the pride they have for Ukraine. What an amazing opportunity. We cannot thank David and Shannon Goran for all their help and making the camp successful. They are such servants of the Lord, always keeping positive attitudes and loving on others. Their selflessness and love for the Lord is evident in all they do and who they come in contact with. Thank you Lord for them. The following video is a quick scrimage game-the campers learned so fast! The next video is Steve and Justin demonstrating a defensive exercise that is quite entertaining.......enjoy!








Look at the defensive ability of the campers (that's Emmie being tackled!!).
