Last weekend Jake and Derek competed in their final swim meet of the season, the district meet at UIC. They both stepped up to the competition by shaving a few seconds off each of their events!
The video below shows just the highlights from the afternoon, though it’s still a beefy 5 1/2 minutes long. So grab a cup of coffee and relive the excitement.
The first race is Derek swimming the 25m freestyle–I couldn’t put a title to it because of the fancy title page.
Jim is on his way to Botswana, Africa right now. He left last night, and at around 4:00 a.m. made it safely to his layover in London. He’ll arrive in Botswana sometime Sunday.
Please be praying for him, the 25 college athletes, the team in Botswana, and the people in the villages. Jim will be writing a blog regularly with updates and prayer requests here.
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (words of Jesus, Matthew 28:19-20)
