The Stake had a big once-in-a-long-time activity and there were so many children there. It took awhile to get things organized, and the children were so quiet while they waited about 30-45 minutes. I was quite surprised at how well they waited. They had a bounce house that the kids absolutely loved. One of the sisters from another ward taught the girls basketball

The biggest hits for the boys was football or soccer in America. There were multiple teams and they had a great time. It was so hot, I just couldn't believe they could keep running up and down the field (small as it was), but they didn't want to quit.

One of the adults (?) was Baptista from the Matero Ward. He's our Primary teacher and is an awesome young man. He has been so helpful and I don't know what we would have done without him. The boys playing soccer felt the same way I think.
The activity was held in a children's park and had some pretty cool amenities--like this playground. There were also several other smaller buildings. The Nursery was held in one where the kids had a ball playing with BALLS!
They had one building where the kids could play board games!
There was a very nice pavilion where some of the smaller children did color pages.
And, of course, they had face painting.
It was an amazing activity with over 100 children there. LaNice had to leave a little early as we had to pick up Bodilys at the airport. On the return trip to town, it poured rain. However, thanks to tender mercies, it didn't rain on the activity.
