So we just finished an absolutely 100% amazing week with a group from the Bellvue Church of Christ in Nashville, TN. This was their first campaign with the Inner City church and they did amazing. They arrived Sunday evening and me and Rachael and Jared went to see them that evening. We explained some of the things they would be seeing and doing and what they needed to know. We got them in early on monday morning. We got 4 of our boys (charleston, rayshone, walter, steven) and myself leading groups door knocking through RV Taylor. I had a really cool group which consisted of Sam and Becca and Maggie, and Amy, Jake, Sarah and Kyle. I threw them pretty much right into knocking and talking to people themselves and they did awesome!! Then after lunch we all went out to RV where we set up a clothing give away and we played games with the kids from the area. The main game of the week was kickball. We had some pretty serious games going with it. Monday was their only real "short" day. Tuesday we did door knocking and a clothing give away again. We also did another movie night which was amazing because we had twice as many kids as last week and we did it later in the evening so the showing was way better. I had to implore my emt skills when i had to get a massive splinter out from a underneath a guys fingernail. It was gross. Wednesday we did canvassing for VBS which is this week. Then we did the clothing giveaway and another rousing game of kickball. My team lost sadly. But thats ok. We were very good losers. Wed. church was good but kinda hard. me and Rachael teach wed class and trying to teach to like 20 some extra people im not use to and yelling over the fans and talking only worked so well. But the coloring was good. Thursday we had a massive storm. We had planned to do just a little bit of cleanup around the building and then bible studies in the community. Well the storm knocked out power at one point and it was crazy wicked raining. So we just stayed at the church and went and got Catrina and Devon and did a Bible study at the church building. If you wanna hear something interesting about the bible study let me know. Thursday night me and Charleston went out to Creekwood COC where they were staying and played around for a while. I learned how to play Mow or Maww or i dunno how you spell it buts its like covert operation Uno. I finally started to get it. But we had crazy dodgeball wars and nerf gun wars and wrestling matches through out the week which were pretty awesome and i got a nice rug burn on my knee. I had so much fun with well as far as the guys go Jake Logan Jonah and Jacob. These were some of the older guys that i talked to and got to know pretty well throughout the week. They were all really excited and you could just tell they all had a love for God. They were definitely leaders as they should be. As far as the girls go Alison, Alyson, and Allyson were awesome. And Sarah and Kelsey and Momma Laura and Becca and Maggie and Mackinzie and Emily the two Amy's! Me and Charleston got go hang out with them on both thursday and friday night and Jake even cried when we left which was hard for us all. He was such a cool kid. Monty and Lee and Bobby did great leading the groups down here. Sorry if yall read this and i forget to mention your name. But everyone this week did so well and everyone jumped right into it and we just had so much fun. But i think i have most everyone's name on the shirt that they all signed for me. Its so awesome. I'm just never gonna wash it. Thanks for an amazing week guys. You all had a passion that many dont and an excitement that many dont and its what the inner city needs. I hope many of you can come back and maybe one day intern here too!!! Miss you guys so much already!!!
Now we are getting ready for Hamilton and Highland. Hopefully they arent as crazy Alabama fans as Bellvue.
