Update From Ghent

I have been in the country of Belgium for just over 24 hours and what a 24 hours it has been. We landed, found our stuff, and began the hour, via train and bus rides, journey to the outdoor track where we got in a light practice before heading to the hostel.The track is really nice; the ride to get to and from the hostel and track is not. It takes just over an hour and a half to catch a tram and bus. Add a 45 pound rolling duffle bag and a 15 pound kit with 85 degrees and no circulating air and you get one heck of a time. Everyone was able to maintain a pretty good attitude throughout the entire process and we did make it to the hostel as one team and no missing luggage.

Tomorrow we have our first meet. There will be over 900 athletes there from all over the globe. Today at the track we met an Irish team and a Japan team. Sadly, we were in a hurry to catch our bus so we could not stay to chat. Oh well; you know what they say: tomorrow, tomorrow, you are only a day away!!


Prayer requests:
:: Safe travels to our meet tomorrow and from the meet to our hostel in Brussels.
:: All the athletes stay healthy and injury free.
:: We make the most out of every opportunity to share the Gospel with those we meet.

Must run; my internet runs out in a few minutes. Once I get to Leuven on Monday, I will have some stories to share as well as better internet access;
