Today was our service project day and we got to go see little boys and girls at a camp to play with them. They were sooooo cute! When we got there a lady was doing an introduction telling the kids about why our big group of people were in the city. She told them 37,000 kids were here to help in the city. Then some of the little kids started counting us.... and there was about six of us in the area, and had a look of confusion on there faces and were thinking thats definatly not 37,000 kids. It was very funny. Then later we went to the super dome for worship, there was two great speakers. One of the speakers was from Congo his name was Michel, when he was 5 years old he was taken off the streets and made to be a child soldier. He was playing some soccer with his best friend when it happened. When they got to the place the people cut all the kids arms and put some kind of drug in them turning them against people. The guy said shoot! SHOOT! to Michel, so he shot. When he looked down it was his best friend :(. He tried to help him, but his best friend died. Later when they were let out to go and shoot, he ran and didn't stop til three days until he got to a city and got help and later got reconnected with his family. This was a very interesting story to hear. Its cool to hear so many speakers with all there stories. ~Jordyn
