Liz Hilger Day One, i was pumped, goin to start an amazing trip that my sis. had been braggin about all year, at the end of the day, i was exhausted and wondered y i was here. Day two was harder... we entered hills (more like mountains)... and i had done one day of training before hand where i had seen nothing but speed bumps, then the krema sisters got to me, with their soul  power and optimisim, it was contageous, i stayed that night at a wonderful house (with Cliff and Cherlan) it was wonderful! i'll never forget that house, i came right with the Lord that night, and the  next day i was pumped, i loved hills, bring it on!!! that night i stayed with an awesome family!!! Mr. and Mrs.  Shlobaum where i got to do sume 4 wheeling, and the kids were awesome!!!  i wont forget that family! they spoiled me and were just so sweet!!! I loved Mike, Nicole, Lindsay, Ashley, and Rachael- as for the rest of the week, it was amazing how close i got with some of the people, (even if i kicked Ali in the face at night) i have to say i loved canoeing... Matt was an awesome partner, i got to know him a lot better, and i can still laugh at how we came across cows in the water... the guys were awesome, even if Brian thought it was funny to cut people off, Eric and Kyle really set good examples... It was so neat to be able to be going 1, 1 on your bike up a hill and look down at your shadow, and see another right beside you... and just smile to  yourself knowing that shadow is Jesus's and he is right by your side through it all... PJ was a big leader, and a hero in my eyes... i hope to see everyone again, like the families i stayed with, the people we met (Jason, Marco, Kayla) and many more... Thanxs if you let us use your bathroom!!! I won't forget the people, or the churches, or the turkey that went after my sister In Him Liz    BACK TO THOUGHTS    NCHS FCA  |  PRE-TRIP WEBSITE  |  POST-TRIP WEBSITE
