PLEASE READ. GOD IS WORKING IN SOCCER!

The soccer tournament this weekend was AMAZING. Where to start????

- We lost all three games (and I scored a goal)

Now for the important stuff:

- Before our first game all the guys were talking about the Rapture as God was supposedly supposed to come back that night. I got to share with the guys later at dinner about what the Bible says about it, including that He will come back like a thief in the night, that no one will know when He will return, and that we need to be READY. One guy, Bryce, said that he doesn't go to church but reads the Bible on his own, so he knew some verses from the Bible at the Second Coming, which was really encouraging. Liam also seemed very interested in our conversation.

- When we ate as a team at Olive Garden, 13 of the players (including me) were all sitting at one table. When we got our salad and bread sticks, I stood up and prayed for dinner. Then, when the main dishes came, they all asked me to PRAY AGAIN for dinner.

- That night I was talking with Almamy (who was rooming with my dad and I) and Nick. Somehow the conversation switched to dating etc. I said, "Hey, guess what my goal is? I'm not going to kiss a girl until I get married." They looked at my like I was going mad. They said "You're crazy! Why not?" I explained to them what the Bible says about sexual purity and about how every time you kiss a girl or do something like that, you are giving a part of your away, leaving less for you to give to your wife when you get married. I also explained that it's like having a hundred dollars, and every time you kiss, hold hands, hug, you are giving your money away. How much are you going to have left on your wedding day to give to that special someone? Then the conversation switched to homeschool...
