Hello everyone,
Since my last post we have had two games and lost both. On my birthday we played a EuroChallenge game in Finland. We were down most of the game and were within four points at the start of the 4th quarter, but they widened the lead to double digits by the end. After the game we had a team meal and the team gave me a card that they all signed with a Leiden scarf. It was very thoughtful and it's great to have people who care.
This past Saturday we played on the road against one of the top teams in the league. Arvin and Ross, my teammates from last year, play for them now. It was a hard-fought game but we ended up losing by nine. After the game I stayed at Ross's place and I got a chance to spend time with Ross and Arvin. It sure was great to catch up with them. They really are my bros and I love how our friendship can last, even when we play against each other now. It really shows how we were created to be connected with others and the lasting impact that has. I really cherish those guys.
We play again this Thursday on the road and at home on Saturday.
God bless,
Mike

Into Europe
Hello friends and family,
My apologies for being so long since my last post. We have had a few games since then. We won all the league games, but we have been struggling with our EuroChallenge games that started in the beginning of November. It has been a bit of a roller coaster with the games and we need to work on being consistent with our play. It was a heart-breaker at home with our first EuroChallenge game against a team from Denmark. We were up by 13 going into the 4th quarter and ended up losing by one point. Our second EuroChallenge game was against a French team at their place. The 11-hour road trip did not help us, but we were simply outmatched by them. We need to show both these teams what we can do the next time we play them.
On a positive note, Andrea was here for a week. It was amazing having her here. We went to Brussels, Belgium for a day and walked around the city. Other than that we really just relaxed with each other and enjoyed just being together. She will be back again for Christmas so we are both counting down the days until then.
Well, we are about to leave for the airport for our third EuroChallenge game in Finland. I hope all is well with you all.
God bless,
Mike
