Soccer game

I have been wanting to start a blog for some time to help tell stories as they occur. So with no further ado, let's start this blog off with a bang.
Yesterday was the epic champions league match up between Chelsea and Man U. For anyone not in America, time stood still while this game was played. I have been talking about this game for weeks with my teacher, and with him being a big Chelsea fan, me more of a Man U. fan (who hasn't heard of them-right? So I've rooted for them in soccer for several years).
Well, before the game started, I needed to find a place to watch it. And after running into some new friends who are neighbors here, I was able to go back to their house and watch the game. A good story to share, before the game started, I was telling them about myself, and said that I was a missionary here to tell stories about God. One guy spoke up, tell us a story! So I began by sharing my testimony, and that I believe Jesus to be God's Son, and that I trust in him. Well this set him off, as Muslims do not believe God can have a Son. But they did invite me back to share more stories, and I plan to next week. I hope to prepare some stories from the Old Testament that will introduce them to God's love and power over all things.
The game was great, absolutely wonderful soccer. I don't like when championships come down to penalty kicks. Any Chelsea fan should be proud, because they played better than Manchester did. And that's coming from a Man U. fan, albeit I am unbiased. In all sports I call it as I see it, even if it were my Cubs.
I was thrilled to make some friends with this family, and I hope to continue this relationship for the next 3 weeks. It is always going to be hard to say goodbye to friends in Dakar once I do leave shortly, but I have still got to have friends. And I am glad that I am received by them.
