We started the day with breakfast at 7:45 and then headed to La Roca Skate Church. They have a large skate facility that is for the community to come and skate and learn about Jesus. We met the manager David, along with some skaters like Walter, Jesus, and Gabax. Walter represented this country at multiple skate championships in Rome and Dubai! David also shared with us his testimony, and how God took away his Mom’s cancer! The whole team tried to skate, with some better than others. We started a work project of building a new ramp. While half the team drilled and sliced up wood, the other half painted some of the walls. We stopped for lunch at 1 and then continued working on the ramp. Then we left to shower and take a break. We took a walk to a nearby açaí bowl place, as well as went to the grocery store. Then we went back to La Roca and had some ice breakers with the La Roca boys and had a Devo from Cole. We made crafts and played soccer, and didn’t get back to home base till 2 am! Overall it was a great day, and lots of people opened up and shared some heartfelt messages about God in our debrief. Day 2 was awesome, can’t wait for tomorrow!
