Back Online...

Yay, we are finally back online! Wow, 10 days is a long time without the internet:) Anyways, here's a little update. We had our first soccer tournament this weekend in Atlanta, GA. We took Averi with us and she was an ANGEL the whole time. We dragged her around to 7 soccer games in 2 days and she didn't even have a nap yesterday and she was SO good. The parents said she didn't fuss at all during the games. She loved being with all the girls and got passed around like crazy:) She is SO social! Mia got to stay with some good friends here in Birmingham and she had a blast as well. Their kids are a good bit older so she got lots of attention too:) We decided to just take one of them with us this time because it's just easier since we are all crammed in 1 hotel room and they are always waking each other up etc. So Averi got to go this time and Mia will get to go with us to New Orleans for our next tournament in a few weeks.

BTW, our teams played really well. Our older team placed 2nd out of 19 teams in their age bracket. We were so proud of them! Our younger team had a little harder time but they played well too. It was only the 2nd time a lot of them have played together as their are a lot of new girls on the team and they are still trying to find their flow. One of our players on the older team got fouled and pushed down and broke her collarbone so please be praying for her. She will be out for 6 weeks.

Another exciting thing that we have confirmed in the past couple weeks is that we are taking our older team to Brazil next summer! We will be doing some missions work as well as playing some local teams over there. We are SO EXCITED about it! Please be praying with us now that God will work all the logistics out and provide the finances for the whole team to be able to go. And also that he will put a peace in the parents hearts as some of them are a little apprehensive about sending their girls overseas.

That's it for now....I'll post some pictures soon!
