So I got up the next morning and ate breakfast and then we went to sessions, and praise and worship was awesome it was just like God was in there. Then after all that they showed us some dramas, and they told us that our leaders would pick one of those dramas and that's what we were going to do when we were in New York. So after they are done talking they told us to go fill our water bottles and then meet them where the phones were, So we all get down there and it where we make all our calls home and its outside under a huge tent, and instead of having cement they had shredded up shingles and plexyglass on the ground and we found out that where we would be practicing our drama. So they told us all to get in a circle and then they mad us make angry faces and excited faces and happy faces just stupid stuff to figure out who could have what part, then they told us to find a seat that they would tell us what our parts were, so we all sit down and the start roll calling. Well they finally get to my name and I find out that I'm one of the people in the very back and at first I was mad about my part I guess you could say I thought I deserved a bigger part, because i knew that I was good at drama and I knew that I could be good a big part. So holly my team leader talked to me about it and told me on her first missions trip she had the same part and that if it was not for the people in the back that the drama would make no sense at all and that I had a bigger part then I thought I did, But I still did not see it that way I still thought I deserved a better part i don't know I guess that was Satan just trying to get to me. So we start practicing and at one part in the drama I had to throw myself down on the ground well when I did the shredded shingles and plexyglass just cut into my skin and it hurt really bad, but I decided that I was not going to complain that I would just get right back up, so I did and then they made us practice is like 75 times literally because no one would act serious about it, and every time i would throw my self on the ground it would make my cut on my knee even bigger and it was 114 f. outside so i was ready to stop. Well they finally told us that we had it down pat and we could stop, well we finished before everyone else so we got to sit and watch others practice, and watching them practice made me realize what Holly was talking about and how big my part was and then I felt bad about having a bad attitude about it. Well when everyone was done we went and talked about what all we were going to do on our trips and then they told our group that we could go and pack and get showered and to meet them at the bus at 11:45 that night, so we get all our packing done and are all excited about finally getting to go to New York. We went down to the buses like 15 minutes early and was going to help pack up all the stuff to find out that our bus was late and was not there yet, well finally at 12:3- a.m. the bus got there and we were on an old ran down school bus that had no air and there was no where for our bags so we had to hold them to whole two hour ride to the air port. Then we finally get there and get our bags checked and get on the plane and we were on our way to New York.
Until Next time,
