What a fun night! The Shavers knew we had daughters who played volleyball so called and asked us if we wanted to go to a tournament they are having here. The USA team was playing the Dominican team. We should have known we would need ear plugs ! We watched the Brazil and Argentina game that went to five games and was a great match. The USA games also went to five with the USA finally winning - but certainly not easily. Sister Shaver had talked to the USA coach in the temple the day before. Each team had seven foot players. They moved with such agility and served very well. Of course at the net they didn't have to jump to do anything! The Dominicans played with alot more heart and energy than the Americans. They must have had an Olympic
venue for volley ball here at some time because the building was huge and had Olympic signs all over. It was freezing cold though (air-conditioning) when they hurried to dry off the floor every time one of the players hit the floor you just had to wonder what they were wiping up because they certainly could not be sweating!
The Shavers - physical health missionaries for the area. I should have taken some pictures of their rabid fans but you had to have the sound for it to be very realistic. There weren't many people there so I can't imagine how loud it could have been had all of the seats been full.
