Yesterday when we got stuck on an escape ramp because we wanted too....

Ok so yesterday, Thursday, we go to the YouthWorks picnic because it was the last day we were going to be leaving the next day. So we pass this sighn that says 'Truck Escape Ramp 1/2 mile.' So Sam says, "Hey it would be so sweet if we went up one of those just for the heck of it. We get closer and the ramp comes into veiw, and we all start going "Do it! Do it! Do it!" So our driver, Corry does it , and we're all cheering untill the vanrolls to a stop and the bck wheels start spinning in place. We're like "o, snap!"
So all our attemts to dig out the van are futile and then a cop comes, luckily there was no charge, and a tow truck comes and when he hears that we're hear on a mission trip to help the commuity he gives us a very genorous discount.
So yah, God kept us out of trouble that day, even though we sort of went looking for it!

hello this is Peter W. sorry if im bad at this i'm a rookie at blogging. Well today we drove in the van's for about 7 hours only stopping at B.P., Taco Bell-Arby's-Subway-MickyD's, and the EXON gas station. Today was boring but yesterday we had some leader mistakes. Byron started of by locking the keys in the "Bob Barker- What?"van. He later called AAA and got his keys back. Then on the way back from the cook-out Corey drove into a run away truck ramp on a dare from some of the students it took some tow trucks to get the "cat and fish smelling" van. eventually we got all three of our vans up and working and ready for the ride home! See you tomorrow!!!!! BYE!

Notes from some students!

It's been a fun time in West Virgina. I got to spent some time with little kids talking about God. I never have experienced a time like this. I feel I am so close to God. I feel that he is using my talents to work the best I can for Him.

I 've had an incredible week at Bluefield, it was life changing. I feel like our group has really left a lasting impact on the community. We're at a hotel right now and are having a great time. I'm so glad I came to serve God.
