Soccer Tourney near Chicago
I will be with my team this weekend in Lowell, IN for a tournament. Be praying, because I will have a lot of time with the guys, including Almamy, who will be rooming with my dad and I. I am bringing my guitar and we will be hosting a church service for the team and family. Please Pray!!!

Another Cool Soccer story
So one of my teammates hosted a party for my soccer team on Friday, and although I wanted to go, I wondered how I would fit in, since all the other guys were mostly non-Christians. My family has strict rules on movies, so I wasn't sure whether I would be able to watch what they had to offer. Thankfully, the party was very fun and I was still able to show my faith. One funny moment was when there was a GIGANTIC bee in our screen room and I wanted to kill it really bad. My teammate Will said, "Whoa, look at Evan. He wants to kill that thing really bad. Hey Evan, aren't you a Christian and not supposed to kill other animals?" We all laughed. Will said all of that in a really friendly way, so he wasn't trying to make fun of me.
When it was movie time, they picked a movie that I hadn't heard of before, so I called my mom and asked if I could watch it. She immediately recognized the movie and said I couldn't watch it for any reason. So I called my dad and had him come pick me up. I told the guys that I had to leave, and when they asked, I told them why. None of them made fun of me, but they all said they were sorry I couldn't watch. When it was time to leave, four or five of the guys wanted to give me a hug.
In short, my teammates know that I don't compromise in my Christian walk, and they respect it. God is working in their hearts!!!!
