| The General would have won had it been a game of survivor |
Put 13
people in a strange place with physical tasks laid before them, and you have a
season of Survivor. However, if the 13 people are brothers and sisters in
Christ and the strange location is Hattiesburg, Mississippi, you have how we
spent the last week. Ah yes, a 14 hour car ride home is the perfect time to look
back on everything that we have accomplished and learned this week. However,
most of the time was spend napping and socializing. Hey, you can’t win them
all.
Our journey
back home began with a wonderful breakfast consisting of variations of egg,
bacon, bagels, and sausage biscuits. As we packed the last of our things and
got all of our General Quackingtons in a row, we were blessed with a visit from
Knox, his wife Deborah, and their happy go lucky German shepherd Sampson. We
were given gifts of antique orange t shirts, beautiful parting words/prayer,
and best of all, a slobbery tennis ball (well, it was a rental).
When we
finally got on the road (a tad later than we would have liked), We enjoyed some
Worship music provided by DJ Green Megs ‘n Ham as we took some time to ourselves.
The car ride was scattered with high activity, like when we made the poor
decision to pass Ashley the bag of leftover pound cake and she promptly ate it
all, or when Nathan saw the word “Hilbish”
and couldn’t contain his laughter for a minute (reminiscent of a similar
incident that happened in Chattanooga last year). With a couple of stops for
bathroom, leg room, and less room in our bellies, it was a very smooth car ride
home. At a Chickfila we stopped at, we ran into another mission team that was
on their way to Panama to work with kids in Drama. Nathan and Ashley were later
found hiding in the trunk of their car, never wanting to miss a call from the
spotlight.

| Everybody enjoyed dinner |
For dinner,
we stopped at a small, old establishment called What-A-Burger. Despite their
menu being as confusing as the word Hibbenspank, the staff was incredibly nice
(and gave us a discount!) and the food was delicious. We opted to take our
final group picture right there on the patio.
The rest of
the car ride was filled with discussion, music, and blogging. All of us are
very excited to be back home and see our families, feel our beds, and in
certain cases, bite our brothers. It has been another successful Calvary
Missions trip, and all the Glory goes to God. We hope you’ve enjoyed following
along with our week.
