Underground Soccer - Wednesday 10th

Today was up and ready to leave by half past 8 to leave for a meeting. Got in the car and car didn't start. Then Tim turned up and rolled down his window, and then it fell out! After putting the window back in Tim dropped Blake and I at the office to finish off some of the work that we had left to do. Mark then arrived at the office after having his car fixed and only cost R15 for the spare part. We then headed to Johannesburg and drop Mark Slassenger off for a meeting at someone's house. Blake, Mark and I then headed to the city centren where we had a VIP ticket to an Underground Soccer Event. We couldn't find the place at first and was about to go home when we saw a few people over the over side on the road kicking a ball about. Turns out the Underground Soccer event was on the fourth floor of the museum! When we got up there, there was a square cage in the middle of the room, and a load of different things around it. They started off the event with some break dancers, who were really amazing and was followed by a human beat box man who was South Africas best. The soccer tournament then kikced off. It was 3 vs 3 and there was an empty oil drum in each corner. They had one square hole in the side and if you got the ball through it you got 2 points for your team. There was also hole in the top and if you got the ball through that you got 1 point for your team. Also if you got nutmegged you were frozen out of the game for 3 seconds, which is a pretty long time when the game is only 5 mins long. Half-way through the tournament they had some football jugglers showing off a few tricks that were really impressive. They then continued with the tournament. But we had to leave early as we had to pick Mark back up and also we hadn't had any lunch and it was quarter past 4. Just round the corner was a petrol station, which also had a Steers in it. So I had a double cheeseburge, normal cheeseburger, and chips which filled me up well. We then were caught in traffice for about an hour and a quarter trying to make a 15 min journey. After picking mark up we then headed back home, which was another 1 and a half and dropped Blake and Mark off. Then Mark and I headed to the young adults cell group and spent some time reading luke 12 and then praying for one another. It was a really good time, and really helped me to grow beign around older guys and learning from them. We then headed back to the flat and straight to bed as you can guess we were pretty tired from the busy day!

Speak Soon
