MOVE08-Friday Evening

Friday evening the MOVE08 team had a chance to go and play for a little bit! The team loaded up the busses, after some serious showers (see last posts) and headed down to Chippewa Bowling Lanes for an evening of pizza, pop and bowling!

It was amazing to walk in on the team and see them having fun, encouraging and loving on each other! Usually when you take 50 people and stick them together for a few days to work hard all day long they are ready to get away! Not this team though! It is evident that they truly care about each other! You can see it in the way that EVERYONE celebrates when someone gets a strike or a spare even if it's someone that they were "competing" with for a high score. There were special handshakes and high fives going on and even a little day early celebrating of Steph Rorie's birthday!

I am so proud of this team! They get it! They have served and loved others for the last two days! They have served and loved each other for the last two days! I think they truly are showing how much Other People Matter through their lives! It seems to me that they may have truly earned the right to wear these. You might just see the team tomorrow night at the 5:30 service at GCC. The MOVE team leaders decided again to end the trip by returning to GCC for church because we are a part of GCC, all the student ministry programs, all the mission trips and camps are proudly a part of GCC, not some seperate silo ministry. So the leaders saw it fitting to "end" the trip where it all began!

Continue praying for the team! On Saturday both the middle school and high school teams head out to Manowe to work some more in the morning and then spend some time in the early afternoon processing and debriefing on the whole trip! It will be a great day!
