Day 1 - July 1, 2006
Sorry for the delay in getting day 1 online - we were not able to get an
internet connection that worked at our first hotel! ENJOY!
Summary of Day
Everyone arrives at the church prepared to take a long trip of enlightenment.  We loaded up our bags, said our goodbyes and headed off toward El Dorado, our first stop on our long, long, journey. On our long trip to our final destination of Dallas, Texas, We talked, slept, and listened to music.  After hours and hours of driving, we finally found our motel and put our bags in our rooms.  Afterwards, We went straight to the Mt. Union Baptist Church where we took a "Snack Break" and began to practice.  After enduring the hard work of practicing, we went over to the fellowship hall and played volleyball and basketball with the youth group of Mount Union Baptist church.  We played for an hour and then MT. Union came along with us out to eat.  We all split up into groups and went to eat at different fast food restaurants.  After everyone was done eating, we all left and went back to the motel.  When we arrived back to the motel, we had a meeting in Mrs. Kristin's room. Afterwards the boys and the girls went to our rooms with our sponsors and got ready for bed.  This night soon turned interesting.  Our motel was next to a "lively" place where cars and people were there through the night.  After the music finally settled down, the girls were able to get some sleep!
