First Day

Hey all! I see a definite lack of comments on my lovely blog yesterday. Tsk tsk. :) Well, we're in DC now, and it's been a crazy day. There are so many youth here, it's just unbelievable. The Toby Mac concert was so loud and people were jumping so hard, the floor and ceiling both were shaking!!

We heard some great speakers today and got to experience some great worship. Please keep praying that our youth learn to worship... it's such an important part of our faith! During our free time, we took part of the group to tour around while the other part came to the hotel to rest. We walked a LONG time, but we were able to make the SS guards at the white house doors wave at us, lie down and look up at the Washington Monument and pose strangely all over the place for pictures. For example...

Well all, it's late and we're sweaty and sleepy, so it's time to sign it off. Here's a few last quotes to tide you over until next time...

• "It's like we're traveling on a magical fairy dust road." - Mike Hall (in reference to the sparkly tarmac)
• "What's worse than a sleeping bag?... A walking one!" -Wes Johnson
• "Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal!" - Hannah Johnson

Please keep the prayers and encouragement coming... we need it! :) Thanks!
