Thanks Wheaton for the Sweet Memories

Well it is hard to believe that one month has flown by since I last saw Olivia and on top of that, the Wheaton team has come and gone. After months of preparation and getting everything lined up, the team came, they saw, and I would definitely agree that they did more than any of us had ever imagined. They hosted 3 football clinics, played four friendlies with KPL teams, a village team, and a drug rehab program, put up a fence around one of our new churches that we're building, and walked through the slums. But on top of all that they did, they left their name all over ICC and AIS. From their financial donations that will help us provide either a greenhouse or catering business so we can give the Petra Boys a job, to their countless donations of boots, jerseys, clothes, and shoes. The community of Nairobi has either experienced something so rare and so Christ-like by this team, or hopefully they will feel that presence by the Petra Boys, Kickers Clinics, and the staff here who was impacted by them.

I do have to add that one of my favorite memories since being here was when the team traveled to Shuka to play a village team and not only was it fun to play again, but to see an entire village come out and support their boys was a special gift. They lined the entire field and went nuts when their team would either miss an opportunity or give the ball away. We ended up winning 3-1, and even though it's not really cool to see an opponent score, it was really a special moment to see the whole community celebrate and going completely nuts. I will never forget seeing guys with pineapples run onto the field trying to sell them after the goal, or people hugging and starting to chant in their native tongue.

Thank you Wheaton for coming here and doing a fantastic job. Your attitudes were amazing, you came in prepared to be flexible, and ready to serve wherever you were called to serve. God did some pretty amazing things here and the cool thing is that their not going to stop there. He will continue to be faithful with the donations you left, the people you impacted, and I am so blessed to be one of the guys who can write to you and let you know what's happening on the ground. Stay strong my brothers and know that you have a fan in Nairobi who will be cheering you on, that is after you play Covenant. Cheers boys.
