Ecuador 2012 author unknown

Sunday, July 22
                Today we slept in until 7:30 because we were off work for the annual soccer tournament.  We had hardboiled eggs, sweet rice pudding (muy delicioso), and buns.  Scott fixed the table like a boss with 6 pieces of wood.  It had stormed the night before so the soccer field was very muddy.  We got there and found out that the girls had to play first.  They got very muddy because they were trying so hard.  They played a great game but unfortunately they lost. L. The boys played next and did well but also lost.  Out of 22 teams both boys and girls got second place in the tournament!!!  For the awards ceremony, Rebecca gave her testimony describing her journey through her knee surgeries and her walk with Christ.  After that, the first and second place girls and boys got their medals and trophies.  We stayed for about an hour and a half playing with the children, eating enpinatas and chicken, and played ecua-volleyball.  This is much like American volleyball but the net was about 10 feet high.  Also they play 3-on-3 using a soccer ball.  We drove home and bathed before going to where the girls are staying
