ReCreation…..incredible week!!
Recreation
Well….. we are driving back from NC and will be in late tonight. What an incredible week. I am not even sure if the word Incredible can adequately explain this week. God has been so faithful and worked so powerfully through our group this week. Yesterday was our final day of work. We were not able to finish our roof unfortunately because the recreation folks did not bring enough shingles. We were a little disappointed but came to the conclusion that it was not about us and that another group would come in and finish up the work. The roof was a beast to work on. The angle and landscape made it very difficult but we made it work.
ReCreation Day 3
Right now I’m sitting down on a picnic table in the field behind the ReCreation base. Lightning bugs are flying around us. it’s a picture perfect summer night in NC. The group just got done playing bracin UNO. What a crazy game. I lost. Bad. The other youth groups still stare at us when they pass. We have defiantly made our selves known. Were defiantly labeled as that youth group.
ReCreation Day 2
Hi yall it’s me! Alex Confer bringing you news fresh from ReCreation! Steve lane just read the first sentenced and told me to take out the word “fresh” due to the smell of us right now. These fans just can’t handle our awesome. You maybe wondering why we just upgraded bloggers. It’s because Andy has poison oak and can’t move. Just kidding he’s just lazy, so now I’m doing the dirty work. In fact andy is laying on his personal cot with his own fan blowing on him. Take it from me he’s very comfortable.
ReCreation day 1
Well, we are off to a great start!! It was a great drive up and we made some great time here. Everyone slept!!! We only stopped to get gas, two Rest area stops, McDonalds and that was it!! We got here around 2:45ish…wow!! When we arrived we went and set up our rooms. we are in a large room that we are sharing with 9 middle school students from First UMC Orlando. There is no AC so it is hot! After getting settled in and being the first group here we went out to the fields to play some soccer. Almost everyone played and we had a great time. We play what is referred to as Madision County soccer where there are no boundaries and no rules basically. Full contact is allowed and many people got knocked down. It then started to rain and we all continued to play. At the end of our game we were all nasty and stinky. It was when we went to go shower that we found our that we were not allowed to shower that night or this morning. Many of the girls went and rinsed off using the hose outside. Let the adventures of being stinky begin!
Just arrived at ReCreation! 3 Hours Early
We have all safely arrived at ReCreation! We are the first group here. A whole 3 hours early! That’s right! We were early for something!!! Our rooms are set up (we got first pick) and now madison county soccer is about to go down here in NC! More details latter.
