Olympic Story

Today we travelled 100 miles to a very small church made of wooden lats in a place called San Julian. When we arrived we held a short service and exchanged greetings, the we toured the site and noticed two things. The church was practically surrounded by a primary and secondary school. Infact the primary school had "invaded" part of the church's grounds where they had made a football field and were practicing pennalties with a "Barca" coloured ball. Just outside the church entrance and beyond a muddy ditch older children were hacking away at the ground it seemed. It looked like they were about to prepare to plant seeds for the next soya crop. Far from it, the young people had turned out to prepare a running track of 100 meters to practice for the 2012 olympics. They have not been selected this time - but why worry - lets get the track ready and believe that we will make it for the next. Well done the young folks of San Julian and the members of the Methodist Church there for their patience and hard work. Pray for them both.
