Just like that it's over. Another mission trip comes to a close except for that twelve hours on the road part. I will share the kid's impressions of the trip with everyone in next week's bulletin. We also will share in person on the 25th at the Sunday night fellowship at the Halliwell's. It's a bittersweet thing when these things end. Some of us want to get home. Some of us want to stay where it's fun and exciting and safe and easy to live out your faith. All of us need to go home and do what God has told us to do.
We have finished closing celebration. I blame Maddie for bringing the beach ball. It's always a good time for me to watch kids having fun. Right now kids are out for the last few minutes collecting names for Facebook requests and exchanging cell phone numbers. They'll have to write them down of course because our kids don't have their phones to enter them remember?
We'll be leaving tomorrow at 10 and making it all the way home.
Things I learned today:
1. Rap music is less appreciated at a nursing home than cake and ice cream.
2. Alabama/ Auburn is a big deal here. I had a kid on my track that wore an Auburn hat. He met a man that introduced himself as: Jack Burgans-Roll Tide
3. Austin makes a great wing man.
Our camp pastor closed with the best thought for the week. It's easy to leave camp celebrating the friends we met or the music or the ministry. But we should leave celebrating the One we do all this for.
Keep praying. See you in church.
