I wish I was Balla'

Here's a run down of what's been happening lately... The first week of international basketball camp is going on right now with 5 countries represented- Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Lithuania, and America. A group from Sacramento, CA is helping out this week with coaching, refereeing, and a variety of things. Usually in the morning we have speed & agility drills along with basketball drills, then in the afternoon the games begin and last till about dinner time.
I'm coaching one of the teams (Go Liberty!), playing in the international division with USA, and cleaning on MOP crew. Btw MOP doesn’t stand for anything cool. It just mean’s I clean and people think it’s funny to tell me that I “missed a spot”, which they think is soooo funny and I think it's so dumb... lol. I've just started holding out the broom and telling them they can get all the spots that I miss ;). This week really has been the best week of the summer, because we're super busy, tired, and outside all the time, so it finally feels like camp. We're all sweaty, smelly, and we're all dressed in workout clothes. Although there are a few girls in dress until they have to go play ball. Then there's me, I wake up, wash my face, brush my teeth, and fix my hair as I walk out the door. lol...
Anyway my team was doing great 2-0, but now I think we're 2-1 because they had to switch up the teams. My team killed the teams we played the first day by about 20 points, apparently that isn't fair or fun for the other teams in the league.. lol... Idk... The team is still doing good it's just a little bit more of a challenge, espescially when the coach doesn't completely know what's going on. It's good learning experience though, as is playing in the international division. Some of the girls that come to the camp aren't girls, they're women. Women who have played on the national leagues in their countries, so they're pretty hard core. For not playing together ever, USA is doing fairly well. We're 1-1, but were probably going to get killed in the couple games, especially when we play Belarus. FYI, Belorussians don't mess around when it comes to basketball.
That's about all that's been going on so far this week... Oh! And I went to my first Polish Protestant wedding... for those of you who know Robert, he got married to a Polish women, who is his age ;). It wasn't really any different from an American wedding, except it was all in Polish, the bride and groom sat during the vows, and the bride didn't throw her flowers for the girls to catch. Ok, for real this time, I don't have anything else.

I love you all! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!
