It was already 7:45 and Juan Carlos was 15 minutes late. The court was reservered for 8:00. If I waited any longer I would miss out on soccer time completely. Sure, the whole point of soccer is to build relationships, but last Monday night I wasn’t thinking about that, I just wanted to play. [...]
Well… As you can already tell by the title of this post, I have some fantastic news to share. Late on Tuesday night when the Fletchers landed in Lima our team was finally together again and finally all together here in Lima!
This is the whole team in all of our glory. We are so happy [...]
You may have noticed that for the last several days we’ve been having a little trouble around here at twentyeight19.org. So… some really mean and bad person hacked the site and put some hidden things on the site that the all seeing eye of google found. So, you might have gotten a warning about “badware” [...]

We’ve been told for months that it never rains here after November 15th. Well… the 15th came and went and the rains just kept coming. But, finally, in the last week or so the rains have called it quits and the sun has been shining. The weather has been phenomenal.
Our time here [...]
Like Alison said, we’ve been taking turns writing posts around here. Well, last week was our turn, the Yoakums. I’m sorry to say that we dropped the ball and didn’t put up our post. But, I hope everyone will be understanding… I think that this time we have a pretty decent excuse. [...]
Well… it seems that the time for us to leave this country is sneaking up on us rather quickly. Every time we turn around something is happening for the last time. For instance, today is Memorial Day. Happy Memorial Day! This is likely to be the last time we celebrate Memorial [...]
