So, we did our usual Friday night Frisbee deal. They have been really good lately, as opposed to the Monday games which are at 5pm (2hours from sunset) and way too hot. At 6:30 its still too hot, but the sun is mostly gone by 7, and we turn the lights on by 7:30, and its a little nicer after dark. The Indonesian battleship (?...it had guns) was at port. Several of the "Wolf Pack" showed up saying they had invited the crew to come play Frisbee and at 7 there would be 15 guys from the ship there to play. Ted told me he gave one of them our Ben Potter/Ted Shultz designed Kwaj Frisbee's and he thought it was a dinner plate. It doesn't matter, we are Frisbee missionaries. So, in the middle of the Friday night game, 14 Indonesian soccer players showed up to play ultimate Frisbee, well some of them were sold on the idea anyhow. We had 8 on 8 before they got there, then we dumped half of our teams and took on 8 guys who really know how to laugh at themselves and realized we didn't care if they made mistakes. Smiling, laughing people are just so much better to be around....I commend our guys for making sure every pass went to an Indonesian sailor. NO one who plays ultimate the first time is any good at all. They proved to be no exception, although for barely having seen a Frisbee they didn't do so bad. Mostly it was just fun because they had the balls to try a completely new game and fail....and laugh at themselves. A quality to emulate (mental note).
I'll add the random pictures tomorrow
