Thankful Thursday

Today is Thursday....  6th day at this beautiful place in the smokey mountains and today we had a more formal worship and dressed in the best clothes we had at the time.  Some of us were wearing non-wrinkled shorts and a clean t-shirt. Then we went to small groups and Bryan and I went to sound check for the talent show.  We were kind of nervous at the sound check but got more comfortable on the stage as we played four seconds of our song. So that meant no practice time before the show. So when we got on stage we were not fully prepared but the roaring applause gave us the much needed inspiration.  So we started our song "Feelin Alright". The applause was deafening. As we walked back we were given high fives and slaps on the back as the applause was still going on. On another note we have a youth and two leaders leaving tomorrow. Clay, Amanda, and Isabelle are going different ways. We will miss them and will be thinking about them on the ride as they miss out on the bonding we will have on the van on the way home   So today has been a very successful and great day!!!!!
