Youth Convention part Deuscie!!

So, to start out my very first traveling event with my students, our bus decides that it will not start. So, my bus driver, leader, and I are out in the -5 degree cold for four hours trying to get this thing started. We ended up replacing the batteries on our "beast" of a bus, sprayed some starter fluid and we were off to Columbus.

To be honest, i had a real good time and so did my teenagers. I am not your Gun-ho A/G guy, but our District Director did a good job with this A/G event. He is "green" (like me) and therefore it was his first big event too. There was nothing extravagant or wicked awesome that made you go, "That was AAHHHMAZING", but convention was solid; he produced a win, and teenagers were touched. Rick Lorimer was the guest speaker; he is a real cool guy and yells a lot when he teaches. Tom (our Director) spoke in the last session and absolutely connected with the students...he did a GREAT job challenging our kids to be authentic and live for God; to be a missionary to their friends. Overall, i am excited about what Tom has for this District in the future.
