Saturday

Yesterday was an eaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrly morning! After loading our bus at 7:00 , we headed to Cocoa Beach. After arriving, we spent most of the morning playing in the water and working on our tans. Jeff and Shelby rented surfboards and Tanner, Tyler, Haley and a few others tried boogie boarding in the Atlantic Ocean.















After the beach, we returned to Orlando for a quick shower and change before catching our shuttle to take us to the opening Mass Event at the Orange County Convention Center with
25, 000 other youth from the Gathering.

The doors opened at 7:00 and with Trusty Barbie guiding the way (carried by Jeff), we were able to get great seats! The Mass event Praise Band started the music at 7:30 and we were ready to get started!

Last night's theme was "Chosen for Community" and Pastor John Nunes with the help of "the skit guys" led us through a powerful time of rememberance and celebration found in Christ's love and forgiveness.

After the Mass Event, we boarded our shuttle and some of us went for dinner and after a quick wrap-up meeting everyone headed to bed!











More Later!

P.S. NOT TO WORRY: Erica, Jessica, and Alycia escaped from the hot electrician/kidnapper on their way to lunch...and all is well. At the end of this "traumatic" experience the girls have the final words of, "STAY SEXY (but not with electricians or Baptists)."
