This weekend we just played our first soccer game of the season. It was a scrimmage game with Vienna Christian. They left Vienna, Austria at 3:30 a.m., arrived at 12:15 p.m. and we started the game at 1:15 p.m. Tough turnaround time for them but they were ready as they scored first and were up 1-0 at halftime. After the halftime we came back out fighting, but they scored again with about 20 minutes left in the game giving them a convincing 2-0 lead. We did not let down though and continued fighting and scored three goals in those last twenty minutes for the win! I am so impressed with their determination to keep fighting no matter the score. Vienna then joined us for two open dorms and then slept on our gym floor. This morning they attended church with us, and then headed back to Austria. It was a good weekend!
Next week we head to Belgium and Holland for a couple of tough games. The guys are excited for those times.
