The Super Bowl


Last night was the Super Bowl, and finally my team, the Steelers, was playing. I know that as a missionary you aren't suposed to impose your culture on others, but sometimes some of what you are "rubs" off on others... so after a season long of sharing about the Steelers here in the land of soccer, there now are in Belo Horizonte, Brazil a group of Steelers fans. As true for most Steelers fans they are "die hard" ones, with the three hour time-zone difference the game didn't start until 9:30 PM here, but those fans where not intimidaded by the time. The showed up early for the party and stayed until the end, watching the whole game in English, even though none of them really spoke english - Rachel and I had to help by translating the game for them. They all enjoyed the game very much and chanted "let's go Steelers" as the game went on. It was a great night, lots of fun and of course the win just made it extra special!!!
