Minutemen Youth Wrestling

We got up a little later than expected (6 AM) to leave for airport. Got there, checked in and on flight for 8:30 AM, left at 9:00 AM. Flight was ok - 1.5 hrs long pretty much up and down. Day started by getting up and out at 6 am and into hotel for night at 11 pm. The boys are staying at Dr. Tom´s with Coah Day. Parents are in an Intercity Hotel about 20 minutes away. Neither are near much but boys have a lot to do at Dr. Tom´s. We left hotel at 6:30 pm to pick up boys and head to Dr. Tom´s church for Sunday night service. They had converted a brick machine type shop into a church. Tile floors throughout andvery night. We took up have the seating and there were about 30 local members. Dr.Tom gave a sermon on the 5 things neededto be a great wrestler. They are 1. Stamina 2. Speed, 3. Balance, 4. Attach;Counter Attack and 5 Strength. He gave the sermon in English and Portugue. It was interesting and then we each received a basket that was hand made from thewomen of the church. There we candy and small donuts as well as some other small gifts that were lovely. I´m sure some of you will be getting them when we return. We then went to dinner at Brazilian place that had a show after you ate this was 9 PM. It was 2 guys and 3 girls doing dances to music with a live band. They did dance with swords and balls on rope that they swung around. It was entertaining. We then dropped the boys off and parents returned to the hotel at 11:15 PM. Today parents are leaving 7:45 AM to pick up boys and go to 2 schools to do demonstratations.
