Whoo Hoo! Alrighty Then! Things have been a blur in the last 48 hrs. We've got to Monterey between 2pm and 4:30 pm on Wednesday. (Depending on who was driving and where they were coming from) The group was put into 4 teams and the group was quick to set up camp. The Kiklins, Anthony Radey, and several of the students set up dinner Spaghetti was Great! (And dissapeared within a couple of minutes.) Aubrey's team (Sr High Girl's and Guys) won Day 1's Competition. Our Jr High Girl's Team came in Second, and our Jr High College team came in third with our Jr Sr High Guy's team coming in fourth. That evening the group either crashed early or went down to check out the pre event events. There were several who went to see a message from "Jeremy Camp" - you can talk to Danny Lowe for the specifics there. Several just spread out to check out the vendors who set up early. Some went to check out the early screening of the New Veggie Tale Movie. You can ask Nancy C her thoughts on that. :) The rest of the group were introduced to artists many have not heard of before. Rashelle Garrett, Riley Armstrong, Matt Brouwer, and Josh Wilson. We also spent some time with our long time favorite comedian Bob Smiley.
Thursday was pretty packed. I can't even begin to spread out all of details of what went on today. Our kitchen team hooked us up with an incredible pancake breakfast. Part of the group went to browse. Some went to check out a bunch of the Indie Artists. Some tried to recoup from lack of sleep. The rest of the group went to the early morning worship set with Stephanie Hayden and heard a pretty ramped up message by Dave Sheppardson. You can check out the details from Aubrey, Kayla, Nancy and Michelle. After a brief check in and lunch, a small handful of the afternoon artists included Anview, Riley Armstrong, Sonflowerz, A Current Affair, Hazel and Vine and Brandon Bee. Some of the group were able to catch the viewing of Rob Bell's "Shell" video. Again our kitchen staff did excellent with a Hamburger dinner and just in time for our groups to check out Matthew West or House of Heroes. If you want to hear about some of the details from Matthew West, you can check with Michelle, Walter, Stacie, Anthony, Dakota, Rebecca and Sherry. For details on House of Hereos, you can check with Brandon, Kayla, Danny, Courtnie, or Allayah. When those concerts were over the groups either went to see David Crowder, Flatfoot 56 or they ween racing for autographs. The next set was split between Jeremy Camp or Kutless. Jeremy Camp spoke at his concert and Jurgen Matthesius spoke at the Kutless Concert. Thursday night half the group was wiped out and ended going back to camp before late night activities. The other half went to check out Josh wilson and Bob Smiley. Some went to see Brandon and Tim and Thor Ramsey.
This morning we had an incredible breakfast again and the morning worship and session were pretty phenominal. Unfortunately, we did have some students who were still struggling from fatigue. Some just neeed to take time to take longer showers. Becca Kirklin hasn't been feeling too well either. She had thrown up multiple times last night as well as today. Please keep us in prayer.
