Imagine, if you will, 21 hours on a bus for 34 teens, 10 adults, and 2 bus drivers. It wasn't as bad as you imagined.
We slept a lot of the time (ride was from Friday 9p - Saturday 6p), watched some movies, played some games, read books and listened to music. Pretty pleasant really, when you're with friends who have become your second family. The students were great, there was no complaining and no "are we there yet?"!
We arrived safely in Memphis and our BBQ dinner arrived very shortly thereafter.
YUM!! Worship was really moving. Each of us shared what we had gotten out of the trip, whether we met the goals we set at the outset, and extinguished our personal candle. There were hugs and tears all around (I brought tissues to worship)
Then it was time to burn off some of the energy stored up from the bus ride. Lively races, basketball, and dodgeball were the order of the evening. Of course, there were those of us who preferred watching, reading, or writing postcards too.
Early bus call in the morning, we are supposed to leave by 7a.
