Today we were able to go downtown of the capital city. On the way there and back you can see how greatly the difference is in this country. There are 24 million people in the capital with 10% being millionaires. There are the super rich, but also the super poor.
The place we are staying at UPH is an oasis in this area. It was nice to go outside and see more and I know it was good for our players. We were able to mingle with many of the local people who are trying to make $1-3 a day. It is reinforced with me any time I travel that the USA is the 1% in the world when it comes to opportunity.
We literally got off the bus, got dressed and played another pro team tonight. We were able to win easily and the players seemed to have more fun. I wonder what is going through our guys heads sometime....they are having a great opportunity to play, share their faith, and be a part of something greater than themselves, yet they don't seem to enjoy it all of the time.
Tomorrow we will go to the beach and hang out. Looking for more and more opportunities to share our faith. We are doing so at the local Christian university that we are staying at and trying to be an example here.
