Cincinnati Bengles

So this is Ben Utecht from the Cincinnati Bengles. He and another teammate, Andrew Whitworth came to West Monroe and gave their testimonies at a church. The story with Andrew is he is a West Monroe graduate and then went off to LSU, after LSU went to the Bengles. The story of Ben is went to University of Minnesota, then went to Colts, and is now with Bengles~but there is more to Ben Utecht's story. His father was the preacher at the church we went to when we lived in Hastings, MN. My grandmother still attends and attended while Ben's dad was the preacher. So before Ben got in the big leagues my grandma got to hang out with him. She sent me a picture for him to autograph that was of her, my great uncle Gus and then Ben and his wife.

They both gave amazing testimonies and truly live their life for the Lord. It's awesome how God can play a huge part in a professional athletes life~cause you don't see that too much! It was an awesome and inspiring night!
