“Six of the boys were there for us to play with. We noticed right away that there were no toys on hand for us to play with, just one flat soccer ball. So, Mike, Herb, and the pastors headed out for some sports equipment while Mat and I came up with some silly games. The boys now know how to limbo, play musical chairs, and (of course) play slaps. - Allison Stockton
