Tournament recap

Well, the speech and debate tournament was very rewarding! It was long and exhausting but we enjoyed every minute. Neither of my kids "broke" (speech code for advance) but several kids in our club advanced to higher rounds.

I can't begin to tell you how impressive these students are. They worked hard! The days lasted 16 hours and they were composed, respectful and energetic. The level of competition is amazing and you forget that you are watching kids that are between the ages of 12 and 18.

We are praying for a long and successful "career" for the competitors in our family. The goal is to work with our team and to learn communication skills that will make their witness for Christ exemplary.

We are very eagerly awaiting our next tournament and congratulate all of our friends on a job will done!
