We finished our project at Peresecina elementary school by providing new windows for the Gym. This school is more than 40 years old, and the windows are old and unsafe. They use the Gym as the main gathering area in the winter months. This is their assembly area for the school. The new windows that LDS Charities provided will help keep the heat in the gym. Elder Hinson and I also saw a need for new soccer balls. When we visited the 1st time the students were playing with a thread bare soccer ball. Elder Hinson and I bought new soccer balls for the school. The highlight at the ceremony (completion of the windows being installed) for the students was to be able to sign their names on the new soccer balls. It was a highlight for us also to be able to see so many happy smiling faces with such a modest gift.

The kids will never forget those soccer balls. 20, 30, 40 years from now they will still remember those soccer balls.
It is wonderful the children are happy with their new soccer balls that they will have memories to look back and talk about. It is so wonderful.
