Day 5 - July 5, 2006

Summary of Day

We woke up incredibly early to attend the morning session where Luke and Josh McCowen, NFL football players, spoke on the Purity of the Gospel and how we need to deny ourselves daily and follow Jesus.  After the session we went across the bridge to the Plaza of Americas for lunch.  We watched some iceskaters, looked around, and just hung out till it was time to go back for the next session.  David Dixon, missionary to Puerto Rico, spoke again on the Passion of the Gospel.  David is a great speaker and really knows how to speak to a group of kids this age.  He is really inspiring. We were soooo exhausted form lack of sleep that Jeff gave strict orders to go to our rooms and take a much needed nap while he ordered pizza for us for dinner.  After a very relaxing afternoon it was downstairs for a birthday Party.  With our pizza came no cake and ice cream but there were presents! Caitlyn had a terrific time seeing what all her mom got her! The evening service...well...it was good...Shane and Shane gave a concert and we had an opportunity to worship with them..Since everyone visited the villages the night before, many decided to go back to the pool for some swim time.  After the cops kicked us all out at ten, we went back to the room to change.  We had our nightly meeting to discuss the day's events and several felt led to attend the VSM (volunteer student missions) meeting at midnight. 200-300 signed up for summer missions at that meeting!! AWESOME!
