This morning we went to a little slum that’s a couple blocks from where we live. It was crazy, seeing how different these people live. I’ve never seen people that live in such huge poverty before. Their houses we made of whatever they could find for walls, and then their doors were just made out of curtains. We got to play soccer with a bunch of the kids for a while, then did a couple dramas for them, and did a testimony, then I told them a kid version of the gospel… it was awesome. After we just played with the kids some more.
I met a little girl, Fatima, she was probably only 2 or 3. When we first came, she was super shy, and wouldn’t even come close to us. But then eventually I found a little ball, and played pass with her for probably almost an hour. It was so cool to see how happy she got when we started playing, and how simple it was for her to have fun. It really made me realize how much we have in Canada, how even as little kids, everyone gets new toys so often, and here, these kids only have one ball, and that all that they have to play with… and they’re so happy about it.
