What a team. These teen-agers are so flexible and fascinated by all that goes on. This allows God to direct the day in dynamic ways and just enjoy the flow as it develops.  

Once again three teams were created and went their separate way. The Somotillo team participated in a girls kickball tournament this morning. These girls were more competitive than the boys the day before. With hundreds cheering on the tension rose and finally a winner was declared. Which was of course our own Baptist School of Somotillo. And they did it the hard way, they earned it! Testimonies were given and a great time was had by all. Then in the afternoon the team veterans took them on an evangelism tour of Somotillo. One of the most shocking things for a first time missionary is to watch the name of Jesus being spoken constantly, and for that word to be received with enthusiasm. The constant desire and joy in speaking openly of our faith in Jesus is so different. The people hearing that word then receive it with joy. That really changes one's life. It is so energizing. And we haven't even unchained Paul yet. The best is yet to come!!!  

Tonight we are attending a boxing show here in Somotillo, at a boxing club run by a Christian who just desires to teach the kids discipline and to use their talents. And they do have talent. One of our team members went a round with one with full headgear on. Lasted just barely a round. And the fellow from Somotillo was one of the smaller boxers. We have brought boxing equipment with us that will help this club to keep the kids busy and exited.  

Today they held the medical clinic in Rodeo Grande. About 200 patients were treated and 15 accepted Jesus as their Savior. This of course will be the lead evangelism tool when the clinic in Somotillo is built. Those 15 will now be added to the church, building their body and energizing His people. God is great!  

Tomorrow more adventures for Jesus!   Stephen Wetherbee
