Yesterday we played a team that had been talked up pretty big by the locals. They were undefeated, had a few former professional players, and a few up-and-coming prospects. They were the pride of the town and we beat them 12-3. We could not have played any better but the best was yet to come. After the game we were able to share with the team and the crowd and many came to know Christ. Praise God.
To start the day today we did not have a clear picture of what God had in store for us. We weren't sure if we had a game today (and as it turned out we didn't), and we were deciding between going to Monterray or just spending the day in Saltillo seeing the tourist attractions. Lee and myself decided that today was going to be one of those days when God was going to do something unpredictable. We could not have imagined what was going to happen next.
We decided to stay in town and do a little shopping at a local market. After spending the afternoon at the market we loaded up on a bus and headed to the professional baseball stadium in town. Some of the guys wanted to buy some merchandise of the Saltillo Seraperos. When we got to the stadium it was closed. We begged a guy to let us in and open the store and they did! After everyone had bought their fill, the employees of the park invited us to tour the park and even let us onto the field. I made a comment to Sydni that the only way we were going to be able to play a game at this staduim is if God decided to truly bless us. With all the ambassadors standing on the field taking pictures someone made the comment, "we should ask someone if we could play here tomorrow." So we did, and they are going to let us play a double header. Not just one game but two, God is truly amazing. At the start of the day we go from not having a game to playing a double header at the professional staduim the next day. Words cannot describe but certainly pray for us as we bring closure to another amazing summer. To God be all the glory and honor. -AD
