TTUMC Youth's DCLA Blog

The youth of TTUMC are heading off to Washington, D.C. to take part in DCLA 2006!!! While we're there, we will experience intimate worship, relevant training, and interaction with thousands of other students that will lead to life-changing impact. DCLA is about learning wherever we are, through every experience and in every learning style to help people encounter the Gospel through three stories: God's Story, My Story and Their Story.


To learn more about DCLA, take a look at their website.

*~HaNnAh'S bLoG~*

Hmm...what to say about DC? Well...yesterday when we got to the Convention Center we got to listen to the David Crowder Band. They were SO good!!! After that we heard from a few speakers. After the conference Erica, Mike, Wesley, Aaron, Sally, Dillon & I decided to explore. We went to the White House where I made friends with the Secret Service men and the police at the front gate! =D Then we made our way to the Washington Monument and took the BEST pictures! They were SO funny. And just now Erica spilled my Dr.Pepper. I am NOT a happy camper! =( Anyway. Today we had lab which is when we get to meet new people. You don't have one person in your group that you know. I met a girl named Shannon, who also had a twin. I thought that was pretty cool! We did that for about 2 hours & then we got some hot wings from Hooters. After we had pizza. We ate both in the park...yeah. And then we went back to the Convention Center & had a girl lesson & the boys had an all boys lesson. Oh yes, FUN! Afterwards we went to the Exhibit Hall where we looked at all the t-shirts & stuff. Hawk Nelson & FallingUp were there signing CD's. I got a picture with the boys in the band. I know, everyone's jealous. *Not really* The late night concert was Superchic[k] which I didn't go to. Dillon, Sally, Mike & I were too busy waiting about an hour for the Sanctus Real & Hawk Nelson concert so we could get a good spot. We ended up in the back, but Wes, Dillon, Aaron & I were pretty close. Right next to backstage. Yeah, it was alot of fun!!! Oh, and Wes, Dillon & Aaron keep prank calling our room...I think I may have started it. Aaron says he's from the Secret Service, Wes says he's an...indian elephant or something from some cartoon & Dillon says he's Gir & something else. Typical boys. =) OH YEAH!!!! I almost forgot! The most exciting thing for me, was when Sally, Lauren, Amy & I got stuck on the Metro. Yeah, it was interesting. We were just about to get off with our luggage and everything. Erica, Dillon, Wes, Mike & Aaron had already gotten off waiting for us. The second I got to the door it closed. I was like..uh-oh. So we had to ride all the way to the next stop & the get off and board the NEXT Metro going back, and eventually we met up. Yeah, that was FUN!! And a few people in our group got stuck in an elevator. To make a short story shorter...we take stairs now.=)

Thanks for the details. I especially like the Metro story. But I advise staying away from the SS guys. I wish you all a great finish to your trip. We are praying for you.
