Friend August 2026 “The Football Fast” Matías wanted to play in the football tournament, but he wanted to keep the Sabbath day holy as well. He and his family fasted that he would find another team that didn’t play tournament games on Sunday. One Sunday, his friend told him about his futsal team that only played on Saturday. It was a little bit different than football, but Matias learned quickly. He was glad he had fasted and sacrificed something he loved to get something better.
