During our time with the Tarahumara we got to spend some time with the kids playing soccer, Uno, and teaching them how to play jump rope. They were excited to have fun with us; someone new to play with. Although I don’t speak hardly any Spanish, a smile and a high-five transcends all cultures.
After dinner and dishes, Pastor Tomas lead a devotional with us, the staff, and the kids. It was an awesome time of Spanish singing lead by one of the boys and hearing the Pastor’s heart. One of the amazing observations from the evening was the attentiveness of the children. They were swift to obey and followed instructions carefully. When Pastor Tomas spoke, they listened.
Our team spent the night on the floor of the school building before departing early the next morning. If there is one thing I learned last week it is that the three other guys on our team snore…loudly :-) We made it out of the canyon by 1pm and after waiting around for awhile jumped in the trucks and headed back to Rio Chico. That night we all got showers and I have never slept so good on a lumpy mattress.
