Netball

So as part of an outreach here at the school I am part of a netball team. It is the girls sport of Britain, kind of a mixture between basketball and soccer. (If you would like to know more about the sport you can Google it and find the rules, video etc.) Anyway, we had our first game last week and it was...interesting. We played outdoors, at night, in the rain. Apparently this is how the sport is played- they told us that the games only get canceled if the weather is treacherous; we all assumed that means if we might die they would cancel the game! Because it was our first game we were still learning the rules and how to play together. Only one of us had played before. The neat thing is that after the game someone gives their testimony. Most of the teams are made up of both Christians and non- Christians (with the exception of our Bible school team). The girl who gave her testimony was really good, I enjoyed hearing her story. It was so wild to think that there I was thousands of miles away from home, playing a new sport, surrounded by strangers yet feeling a kinship to girls around me through Christ. I know that has the potential to sound sappy but its how I felt. It was as if I was watching a series of pictures that all culminated into that moment. The girls I play with are brilliant. I look forward to playing and continuing to learn the rules. ;)
