Hey everyone, sorry i haven't posted in a while, but it's been a little crazy up here lately. First of all, we had a very interesting Physical Training activity the other day. Lindsey and Charity took us about 3 or so miles down the road and dropped us off to walk back. Not only that, but she tied us together at the wrist. Fun stuff. We were walking back, and if someone said something that was negative or anything like that, they got a punishment of some kind. Megan was the first. She said something and was blindfolded. Then Sara said something and was turned around backwards. Then Megan did something else and was turned around backwards. Then Sara was blindfolded. Then Steven and i, who were still the way that we started, turned the entire line around so that the girls could walk forwards. Then, Sara and Megan and Steven did something, so Lindsey tied all of our feet together. Mind you, Steven and i are still walking backwards. So we walked for a while that way until i got the idea for me to get behind Sara, Megan behind me, and Steven behind Megan. So we turned into a line and all we had to do was move the same feet at the same time. That worked very well. We went about 50 feet that way and Lindsey untied our feet. So then, she put us all frontwards, and said to just walk back to camp. Well, after they drove off, Sara and Steven and Megan decided that as long as the leaders weren't there, we could untie. And i'm not saying it was just them because i don't want to look bad. I didn't want them to untie. The leaders had said to stay tied and whether they were there or not that's still what they said. That's really the definition of character. "How you act when no one is looking..." Anyway, after they'd untied us, we looked up, and there were Lindsey and Charity coming back. Needless to say, they weren't thrilled that we'd disobeyed their orders, and they drove us back about a mile in the direction from which we'd just come. Eventually we were walking back, and they said get in because we were going to be late for supper. I have to go. But also, our rooms were inspected and so we got a consequence. I have to change the oil in Lindsey's truck. Consequence? Hmmm....I probably shouldn't tell her that it's fun...Oh well. TTYL. Love you all!

I enjoy your blog so much! Maybe I should let Charity in on the secret that you like mechanical work and that is not motivation to keep your room clean. Love you and I'm praying for you.
