There is a new theme for this year's STEM trip. That word is "whachimation" It is from our puppet skits.
Yesterday we spent 15 hours in the car and made it a very memorable one. We hit the 100,000 mile mark, changed seats about 6 times, and went to a 'crazy' CiCi's Pizza for dinner and finally made it to the church. WE soon though found out that we all had community showers (some of the shower heads don't even work). Not long after we were all headed to bed at 12 oclock central time.
WE started out today with the lovely sound of the car alarm, and boys playing basketball. Our main goal for today was to just get there. After devos we left to find Faith Fellowship Baptist Church, an hour later of driving in circles, we get to the church and work on weeding and roofing. Next we went to the airport and got Bethany. We then left and found a walmart to get some food and WATER!!!!! BUT while we were there the van decided to lose its air-condtioning. So now after 387miles of Pastor Dave and Dan Brady driving, we know that we will be without the van Wednesday and will hopefully have a new "working" air-conditioner. We finally made it to the camp with only one bump in that road and we weeded, painted, and water-proofed.
But the highlight of the night was playing human fooseball. We all decided that we want one for our church. So now it is 'quiet' time. Josh is here alone with all the teens because all the others went to Home Depot to get supplies for the Faith Fellowship Church (shingles, paint, brushes, rakes, etc.) We are very excited about the rest of the week and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store.

P.S.
We are holding Joshua hostage for a ransom of 1,000 smackaroos. So, if he doesn't come back it's your fault. *Carissa and Liz... but shhh keep it a secret, k?
Hey, today was exciting and tiring and fun all at the same time. The devos Pastor Dave gave us are very encouraging. - Mandy

Human fooseball? I'm not asking!! Sounds like an eventful first day. Don't forget to feed & water Josh as you hold him hostage.
