For those interested in learning more about our games, here are a few links to check out:
A website of the whole league. Our team name is the Therwil Flyers.

And an English version covering European baseball:
Anyways, for all you fans of our baseball/softball careers (haha), here's our latest update.
On Sunday, we both played/coached games. The softball team crushed their opponent, 15-0 and 15-2. Emily was 4 for 6 on the day with 4 doubles. She also pitched 4 innings, striking out 9 and giving up 2 runs. Her team is now 5-3 (4-0 since she has been here).
On the baseball side, we won both games as well against the Lausanne Indians. Always an interesting team to play, the Indians are filled with Swiss-French-Latino players. They are VERY passionate about their play, often stopping to argue for minutes at a time. They are one of the better teams in the league, but we won 14-7 and 8-0. Our team is looking very dominant thus far in the season. We are 4-1 currently. I went 1-2 with 2 RBI, 2 HBP in game one while playing catcher and went 2-4 in game two. Possessing a lineup of extremely solid hitters and two great starting pitchers, I fully believe that we will end up as champions this year.

Last, we are enjoying our days in Switzerland. Combined with waking up whenever we want, running on the banks of the Rhine River, reading, walking around in the local marketplace, reading to each other, praying together, getting STOMPED in rummy by Emily, and getting to know our Swiss friends, our lives are incredibly blessed and we continually see the hand of God in our lives. In the last months, God has clearly placed his divine presence in our lives and we now see, even through the struggles at times, God has taught us many things about ourselves and each other.
Our love goes out to my grandmother who is fading at age 93. Please pray for comfort.
Until next time...

What an experience! You guys should write a book about this someday. We love you- Ryan, Jenn & Cy
Hey John,
Your adventures sound like a bloody lot of fun. Those stories of Lucerne remind me of my recent visit (and almost makes me jelous to be back there). I'm sure you have had a thousand recommendations, but if you have not been to Lugano Switzerland yet I would highly recommend it as a very fun weekend trip. The place is gorgeous and the people there are incredibly nice (an especially decent hotel is something called I think the swiss quality inn or something). Anyway even at Easter time this year it was very very beautiful and had some great hikes. Well I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
John and Emily:
Sounds like you are having way to much FUN. What an awesome experience for you two.
