Forced to write this..

I'm being held at gunpoint right now to write a blog from a guy's perspective on the last few days, so here goes:

I'm sure everyone has been posting the fun filled days we have had, so I'll skip those and just talk about the "Matt, Erica, Morgan, and Corey" 5 Day Club Team. We didn't have an 'adult' leader, and we were located at the church...so we had a somewhat frustrating week in the fact we had an average of 7 kids a day. However, an answer to prayers last night, as we had 20 kids, mostly from the ages of 4-7, and we had 12 kids accept the Lord as their personal Savior. This was despite perhaps our worst night as Erica was sick, so we only had 3 leaders...we basically ran 3 mini 5 day clubs.

Other than that, it has been fun to see people express their faith outside of the team and outside of the 5 day clubs. Adam, Ryan, and I had a chance to share our faith at the water park with a 14 year old boy named Leonard. He has lived in nearly every continent, and has seen nearly every religion possible, and his family doesn't really believe in anything. We talked for about 45 minutes in the lazy river, so that was pretty exciting, despite nothing really amounted, just the fact he was asking questions was really uplifting.

As this is my third year, it has been really nice to see the teams closeness and comfortableness (hah those aren't words are they?) with each other. There hasn't been any issues whatsoever with the exceptions of a few colds and dehydration.

Uhh the gun is still being held right now, but they said that was good enough for now, so I guess that's all I will right about.

PS, it's Beccas Bday and Bret and my first time to disney land tomorrow!
