Wow…today has been so much fun!
We began the day with some donuts, bagels, and a short devotion prepared by Allison, one of the students on the trip. She shared from Proverbs 4 and we had a little discussion on wisdom, and the difference between “wordly wisdom” and true wisdom that can only come from spending time in the Word.
After that, we loaded up and headed to the train station for the 45 minute ride to Penn Station in lower Manhattan. Anticipation ran high as we were all ready to see some skyscrapers and do a little tourist action- and the city definitely delivered! From our first stop in Times Square, on to Ground Zero, then to a little light shopping for the girls, and some sight seeing for the boys, we had a blast. The Empire State Building had a bit too much of a wait for our little group (the guys), but we did make it to Rockefeller Center where we toured the NBC studio, as well as a stop at the Nintendo store and a nice little walk around the area. The girls made their way through a few different stores (something I can’t really give too many details on, as I wasn’t there.) We all met up for dinner at a little burrito placed called Blockheads. It really was quiet nice to sit on the patio in the breezy weather – something I wish we had more of back home.
After our trip back home, we spent a little time doing the clean-up routine (only 1 shower at this time – see yesterday’s prayer items), and the last few are getting ready to bed down for the night.
One thing this group has talked about is the “work hard, play hard” motto. While we had a great time today playing, we cannot wait for tomorrow and church services, a little Kidz Camp prep in the afternoon, and the eventual first day of Kidz Camp Monday morning!
Please keep us in your prayers as Sunday holds services and prep time for this week. It is also the last day to cast the vision of Kidz Camp to the community before the event actually begins. Our students are so excited about everything we have talked about so far. Hopefully, some of them will be writing these posts in the coming days.
Until then,
Bryan Martisek
