March Trip #1

Hey! :) so we just returned from our first trip of what you would call the "trip season of MCGC". I call it that because we have like a million trips between now and graduation in May along with events here that we must be at. But anyways, our trip this weekend was to Danville, KY. This is the hometown of Kate Stephens, a fellow first year.

We left around 2pm on Saturday afternoon. It was only about a 3 hr trip so the van ride wouldnt have been too bad... had we not been piled in a 15 passenger van. This is normally not a problem for a group of 9 people right? Not when you must also do worship on this trip so you must also take 3 guitars, a drum set, an amp, the drama equipment, and the sales booth. Needless to say, it was fun getting in and out. Luckily, we only stopped twice (cuz of a certain boy with a girl blatter *cough* Jordan *cough*) lol but we finally arrived around 5.

We then had a youth rally at 7... or was it 6? I'm not sure but we DID have a youth rally and it went extremely well. This church was a baptist church so they werent used to the altar call at the end but it was still a successful night. We then went with the youth leader to a pizza place to eat and then headed back to Kate's house (where we stayed) and hung out til time for bed.

The next morning we were at church by 10:15 after eating a glorious breakfast thanks to Kate's mom :) This mornings service also went very very well, just as good as the night before actually. One of the dramas had never been done before and my performance as Jesus during practice times had been sub-par at best but we pulled it together and it went excellently. We then went back to Kate's house for some amazing spaghetti, thanks again to Kate's mom. We then packed up and headed home and were home by prolly 6.

This was a great weekend. With my phone off, there was nothing to distract me from the purpose of bein there. It worked out really well and I'm super glad.

Our next trip is on Wed. to Cave Hill, IN. Its a Christian school somewhere just across the border from Ohio and will be an all-day trip. Pray that God works His will during this trip.

My next post will consist of our travel schedule. I have it, its just not on me right now so I'll get that to you all next time. I'll try to post again tomorrow.

Thats all for now. Adios!
