futbol and life!

Sundays are great days! Well... so are Mondays and Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursdays and Fridays and Saturdays. But since today was Sunday, I'm mostly thinking about Sundays. This afternoon I went to play soccer and frisbee with some cool people! Playing soccer and frisbee on Sunday afternoons with friends from Calvin and from San Pablo is one of my favorite things. We have a lot of fun and laugh a lot and run a lot. Today, my soccer team won, in spite of me (sometimes I just kick... and completely miss the ball!! I'm not sure HOW... but it's a relatively common thing for me! But really, I think I'm getting better.) We play soccer and frisbee for about two and a half hours, so by the time we are done, we are all... pooped. But it's such a fun fun two and half hours!!

Today, after playing, I got to spend some time with Sydney and Scott. We just outside in the Club Internacional and talked and sang some songs until we got too cold to keep sitting still. One of the things that I have missed while I have been here in Arequipa is the accountability, the sharing life and thoughts and feelings, that I have with friends in the States. And another thing that I've missed is praying and praising God with friends. And, now, God has really used Scott and Sydney on a few different occasions now to provide opportunities for the deeper friendships, prayer, and accountability that I have missed. Our God provides just what we need when we need it!! Thank You, God!!!
