Basketball in the Batey, a Haitian community near the sugar refinery in Barahona, became legendary the last time Kevin came. I've heard the story of how he fell off the raised court from the perspective of others on the team that went last November. This afternoon we loaded up on tracts and bought a new basketball and pulled up to find a crowd of boys already playing... with the same ball that the team gave them last year!
While Kevin and Andrew did their work on the court, the rest of us attempted to visit with the kids gathered around.
And after the games, Mesa and Andrew shared the gospel with the crowd that had gathered.
I won't soon forget the way the smoke from the sugar refinery burned our eyes, Johnathan's determination to make sure every kid got a gospel tract, or the exuberant kids who asked us to "Come back manyana!"
