October
I came across some videos that maybe some of you have not seem. Two of them are from songs that I translated from english to spanish.
I also want to tell you guys about the Vitilla Tournement we started. For those of you who have been here in the past, you probably remember watching kids from all kind of ages playing this game on the streets that looked like baseball but it wasn´t. Well, one of the boys from my youth group came up with the idea of starting a tournement of this game call ¨¨vitilla¨¨ with the guys frm our neiborhood. It´s been great! The teams are represented by streets; and we have a total of 6 teams. Each team has players from 15 to 28 years old, cause for this sport there is no age, ths is a game that everyone knows how to play. We say here that you are not Dominican if you didn´t play VITILLA when you were a kid. :) It´s true. The great this about the tournement is that out almost 50 players in the tournement, only 3 of us are christians. We belief that when the bible says that we have to be the light in the world/darkness, this is what he meant. These are the guys that the community look down on because their adictions and bad behaviors. These are the gangters, dealers and drunkers of the community. I´m so happy to say that they have seem our intentions with this tournement. They even helped us organized the tournement rules, location, schedulle, everything, and there has been a lot of respect shown to every individual on and off the field.
PLease keep this tournement in your prayers and I´ll make sure I´ll keep ya´ll updated on how is the tournement going. My team from calle 2 (street 2) was in first place, but last weekend we felt short and now we are in second place. It has been a tight race for every team, it exiting. Last monday it was a hollyday and we had about 300 people that came to watch the games... It´s crazy!!
I recorded a short video of one of the games for you to see, check it out cause I´ll be posting more throughout the tournement. God bless!!
