Sharing with others.........

On Monday we met just prior to leaving for a doubleheader down in Monterey and Bruce led the guys in a training session on how to share your faith. He did a great job in relating ways to "break the ice" and how to walk your way through sharing your faith with others. We met for about 45 minutes and then traveled down to beat the Monterey Bay Sox 5-1 and 12-1. It was a great day!

Our families(Gillespie/Beck) and host families made the trip down and watched some good baseball in outstanding weather. It was good to have a large contingency of "AIA Fans" watching us play. The host families are really great here in the Gilroy/Morgan Hill/San Martin area. They really greet and make the players and families feel at home. The host family concept is working well here in this part of California.

Quinn Clair met with the Bay Sox and passed out some brochures after the doubleheader. Quinn is a returner from last year's team and is originally from Oregon. Quinn and Nick Crawford are the first two I pick up each morning on my van route. Each staff member has about 4-6 players we pick up each day. Along with Quinn and Nick, I have Tobias Streich, Kevin Winn, Tim Urbanowicz and Cody Brown. Quinn is from Cuesta College, Nick is from UAB, Tobias is from West Virginia, Kevin is from La. Tech, Tim is from Wheaton and Cody is from Liberty Univ. I hope to introduce them all as the summer progresses.

We met for discipleship again this morning just before lunch and then traveled back to Valley for an afternoon practice.

On Wednesday we take the day off and travel in for a tour of San Fran and then off to Oakland for the A's and Yankees. Should be another good day.

I added some more photos from our trip to Monterey Bay/Pebble Beach/Carmel, you may see this by clicking here.
