Wednesday, July 3rd

Today was our last day!! It's crazy how fast it seemed to go by. Some of us were ready to go home, some of us weren't. Overall, the trip was super amazing and a great, faith-strengthening experience. Favorite parts included the car rides, the Rite of Passage ride in Animal Kingdom, meeting Lucas and Anthony at the youth rally, and getting close with everyone on the trip. Today we drove the last stretch of the trip from Illinois to Minnesota (about 6 hours long) which didn't seem like anything compared to the 10 hours we had driven the day before. Finally, I would just like to say a big thank you to the Strehlow's for chaperoning and to all our host families and everyone who worked to made this trip possible! Speaking for all the teens on the trip, we really, really appreciate it!! Have a great rest of your summer everyone!
