Buenas tardes todo el mundo!! (Good afternoon everyone!)
It's been another beautiful week here in Puebla. Yesterday I went to a sports tournament in Mexico CIty with my youth group. It was an event held by Word of Life for area churches, so we made the 2 hour trip to Mexico City for it. When I got there, I was placed on a team with about 12 other girls. The only other girl from my youth group that went was not on my team, so at first I was very nervous about being alone. I didn't know anyone and I didn't know how important skill or winning would be to the girls on my team. I soon found out in our first competition, soccer, that I had just us much skill as any of them, which proved to make for a fun afternoon. The way the tournament worked was that every team played 20 minute mini-games of volleyball, soccer and basketball. We played each of those twice.Then, there were some track events. Well, if you can believe it, we lost every single game and the track events. The worst was a basketball game that we lost 32-2. It was so much fun though. We just got worse as the day went on.My team came in last place for the girls!!I cheered when the guy announced it. I had a good time laughing about it. I got a lot of Spanish practice yesterday, in a new setting, with a new set of vocabulary. I enjoyed it. The other girl that came with my youth group was on the winning girls team. Then, our guys team placed 5th out of 20. We all had a great time.
I can definitely tell that it's dry season because yesterday I came home filthy from all the dust in the air. It will be nice when the rain comes again! Well, thanks to all those who have been praying for me and writing! I received 2 special letters this week. One was from my mom and the other was from my cousin Kerri! It was so nice to hear from you! I hope you all have a great week!
