On to second trials!

Had football tryouts yesterday! There were about 30 girls trying out, skill levels ranged from never played before to very good. Not sure how many will make it in the end, but 14 of us were asked to come back for second trials, which are next Wednesday afternoon. Apparently I was wrong about there being four teams...there's only one team ("the first team"), the rest are intramurals. The first team practices on Mondays and plays matches on Wednesday evenings, which would be perfect for me since I have classes Tuesday and Thursday!

Anyway, the girls were all really nice and it was fun to have some tough competition...the goal keeper for the first team is apparently on the Scotland National team! We'll see how Wednesday goes...it would be really nice to be part of a team again; such a great way to get to know people.

Classes start next Tuesday and the missions team from Calvary is coming to Edinburgh for day trips Thursday and Saturday--a big week for us! We're excited! Pray with us for safe travels for the team!

Yea, Kate. Dazzle em. I just read a book to Ethan and Drew-Drew called FROGGY PLAYS SOCCER. I will pass on the advice that Froggy's dad (the coach) gives to Froggy--which is repeated on almost every page:
"Now repeat after me:
Head it!
Boot It!
Knee It!
Shoot It!
BUT DON'T USE YOUR HANDS!"
Good luck from Ethan, Drew, GTA and the Dream Team (Froggy's Team)
