Car rides, unknown smells, and screaming

So we made it to Mountain View with no troubles. The car ride was a blast although I had to have a short discussion with the guys about letting girls put make up on them. I had to remind them of the kid that allowed the girls to make-up on him during my junior high mission trip and how when he got to camp that night, He was the first to get the swirly. Also I noticed that the boys van in front of us drove most of the way with the windows down. I don't believe Taco Bell was the wisest of choices for their lunch. I'm also a little disappointed that we paid for tickets to go to Six Flags on Friday because I think the girls screamed enough going through all the hills of Missouri, that they don't need to ride roller coasters. We might just drive around the country side, that should entertain them. But all in all, we made it safe and had a lot of fun in the process.

Last night we have our first worship session. The band was great and the message sparked a lot of conversation afterwards. We had a great small group time.

Now today we are working on two different projects. Half of us are painting some rooms at the senior center. I know we are only supposed to paint the walls, but I think a couple of the teens are wanting to paint the floor also for some reason!!!! Also Scott, Austin, and Chad have been rewiring their sound system, so know the seniors can rock out to their tunes. The other group is working at Crestview health center and they are staining a huge deck. I feel a little bit bad for them beause they are out in the heat, while we're enjoying the Air Conditioning.

After this we are headed to river to do a little swimming. I'll send you another update as soon as I can get back to a computer. We're all doing great and are looking forward to a great week.
