Hopefully the blog posts aren't getting boring to read....I've basically just been summarizing each day as we go along and trying to throw some interesting things in once in a while. As you can see we have been keeping the guys really busy with practice, clinics, and the course work that they have. They have had a great attitude about everything and have found the energy every day to get done the things that we need to. We have had 7 good practices, 6 good clinics, and according to Dr. Jenkinson are keeping up with their course work very well.
Today was a typical schedule....practice from 9:00-12:00 followed by lunch and a clinic from 1:00-3:00. This clinic was at the Freeport Gospel School that we have partnered with on our trip. It was a great group of kids and one of the more upbeat clinics that we have done.
Zach Vander Laan, who has been a painter at home in the summers led a crew of guys who painted their playground during the clinic. I had a chance to meet the principal of the school and he was really excited to have that work done. He said it's something that they have wanted to do for a while but haven't had the manpower to get it done.
After the clinic/painting the team had class in one of the classrooms at the school. Class was from 3:30-5:30 tonight and afterwards the guys went to the Port Authority for dinner in small groups and were on their own until we got back together at 9:00.
At our devotion time tonight we heard a devotional titled "Believe to Achieve" and heard from Ryne Otis, Matt Kirkendale, and Mike Nassar with their 3 H's.
So, another great day here in the Bahamas is over. Today is supposed to be the same 75 degree day with plenty of sun and the guys will get a bit of a break in the schedule with no clinic scheduled. Adam Sparks scheduled a boat to take a bunch of the guys out snorkeling, and I'm sure the others can find something to do out on the beach in the afternoon.
I'll check back in after class/practice tomorrow.
