At Jonathan Creek we spent four days with pirates, who taught us how to do the slow clap and how to do the pirate dance. We had many competitions, including filling up a canoe with water, and emptying the water-filled canoe. We also had to build a boat out of cardboard and duct tape then race across the water and back to land in that boat. The Murfreesboro girls chose Katie Ann to paddle through the water. She barely made it in the water when the boat sank, but paddle and boat in hand she swam and completed the race. The Murfreesboro boys chose Zach to represent them in the race. The boat was placed in the water and he was able to speed across safely in their cardboard box.
During the retreat we learned that chasing after things of this world, such as fame, fortune, or relationships, can be like chasing after the wind. You end up feeling empty. God is the only one who can satisfy our hungry hearts.
July 18th, we traveled down to Georgia for a Braves game. After an exciting game, Braves 7 Nationals 6, there was a fireworks show. We, then, traveled to Jessica Sherrod's parents' house were we enjoyed homemade cookies and drinks. Then we rested for the night some getting 8 hrs of sleep, while most only had 4.
