Ab die Post!!!!!!





So this was a long and interesting weekend. Saturday was the yearly "Mennocup" indoor soccer tournament for mennonite churches. There's a wandering trophy that the winner mennonite church takes home, then they're responsible to organize the tournament for the next year. i had planned to play for the thomashof team, but barbara's family decided to form a family team and invited me to play with them. the kärcher family team was called "Ab die Post!" cause barbara's brother, Johannes, worked for DHL. anyway. her whole family played. all 8 of them played. and her 2 foster sisters were cheerleaders for us. we didn't start off so well, losing our first game, but then didn't lose any more games. we just barely made the playoffs, but then went on to win the quarter and semi-final. then in the final we played 10 minutes and no one scored, so it went to penalty kicks. needless to say, we lost in penalty kicks.
so we took second place from 14 teams, and since we were the best team from a mennonite church we got the trophy and thomashof needs to plan it for next year.
