Day of the School, Day 2

The boys have had a night to rest and will be ready to go at it at full tilt again today. Up next are the soccer finals, the long jump, the shot put and the three-point contest.

Yesterday, Rojo won the marathon! I was really excited, seeing as how that is one of my favorite events. The race is scored like a cross country race, and my team ran really well - we had three people in before the next team had two. We didn't do so well the rest of the day, being beat soundly in other events. Amarillo and Verde had good days, competing well in the field events. But today is another day. Rojo should benefit by the fact that we are in a lot of the finals, worth big points, so hopefully, our point total will increase. Right now, Azul is in first, Amarillo is in second, Verde, third, and Rojo....last.

On another note...last night, after the basketbal game, a student collapsed on the basketball court in seizures. The campus nurse came running, and they took him to the clinic. By the time we went to bed last night, he was better - awake and talking. I haven't heard yet how he is today. Please keep him in your prayers.

It sounds like an awesome version of "Field Day!" Hopefully your team did well and finished respectably. How is the guy who had the seizures doing? How did the revival services go--it sounds like you really need a movement of God down there and I know I've been praying for it. Looking forward to another update!
