Well it’s New Year’s Eve and we’re all home safe-and-sound tonight from an AMAZING 4-days in Grand Rapids, Michigan!
Everyone woke up on time this morning, and everyone was even ready to head out of the hotel at 9:30AM just like we had planned! I am the youth pastor of a VERY special group of teens. The sponsors that we brought along – Mark, Tina, Thomas, and Bethany made the trip possible by giving up their week of vacation so that Jessica and I wouldn’t have to attempt controlling 29 students on our own! THANK YOU SPONSORS!
A quick stop for lunch at Wendy’s this afternoon and we were back in Warsaw by 2PM! After waiting for all of the students to get picked up this afternoon (4:30PM!), Jess and I headed back to South Bend to drop of the borrowed church van to the Sonlight Fellowship Wesleyan Church! They were VERY gracious to have allowed us to use their van for this trip! We arrived back here in Warsaw in time for a quick dinner at Applebee’s.
Jess is now passed out on the sofa in our living room and as I type this a photo-montage video is rendering for tomorrow’s announcements!
I can’t wait to see the students respond to their pictures on screen tomorrow of this LOGOS5 adventure.
Thank you for all of your prayers and notes of encouragement for Jess and I and our youth group this week! God did a mighty work in the hearts and lives of many of our students and literally THOUSANDS across this country through this year’s Wesleyan Youth Conventions!
Today’s photoset here.
