SAG

So this last week has been filled with 3 letters SAG. For those of you who are out of the loop that stands for Student Annual Gathering. This is 4 days of competition between the 6 different Abundant Life Schools. Now I am not going to lie I had been preparing for a long week of chasing students around not sleeping and eating cruddy food. What I witnessed in my opinion was a pretty well run event. Everyday we started with all of the schools gathering for devotions with Pastor Evelio. We would then proceed into a variety of sports and academic competitions against the other schools. We compete in all things from Soccer, Sudoku, Debate, Ping Pong, Volleyball, Cross Country and a variety of other events. It turned out to be an exciting week as we ended up winning 10 medals. As we are only up to 8th grade and all of the other schools are up to 12th Grade we felt we did quite a good job. We ended up even winning cross country. The food during this week was much better then other camp I had been to. We had things like Roast Beef, Tacos, Chicken, Hamburgers and a wide variety of food all that was cooked in a very tasty fashion. Even through this my students still complained about the food mostly because they just wanted tortillas, beans and rice. I guess La Union kids are just a different type of person haha. We then finished the event off by having a beautiful dinner at the Marriot Hotel with a meal of Chicken Cordon Blue. We even had street performers come in on stilts and large drums it was a pretty fantastic display. I must admit it was a fun time. Today I spent my day driving through the mountains of Honduras as we met with our coffee workers and eating bananas right off the tree. It is a crazy life.
