Today we woke up at 5:45 in the morning and we packed our bags and started driving to River Expedition that was about two hours away. We went white water rafting and it was my first time, at the beginning I was terrified of falling out of the raft during a rapid. There was a class four rapid and the raft almost flipped over but we were ok. After the almost flippage the raft was filled with water up to our knees and once the water drained, part of the raft landed on my foot and I couldn't get it out. After all of that fun we had we got back to the POG and got changed. We then went on to Subway for lunch. I had Italian bread with turkey, American cheese,lettuce. I also got two chocolate chip cookies. Then we drove for about three to four hours to Nathan's aunts house for dinner and dessert which was amazing. Then we went on to All Shepards Lutheran Church in Ohio to spend the night there.

Today we woke up at 5:45, earlier than most of us had the whole week. We packed our bags and cleaned our rooms at School For Life and took off for good. We stumbled upon a flat tire on our way, setting us back about an hour. We arrived at New River for white water rafting a little but later than expected, but they just put us on a later adventure: the lower river expedition. After white water rafting we all changed and got back on the road to go to Nathan's Aunt Jean's house for dinner. She prepared a wonderful meal for us and we were all extremely grateful. A bunch of us started a soccer game in her backyard as well, which was really fun even for those that didn't normally play. Then we went to a church in Columbus about 5-10 minutes away for the night. The first thing we did was sit in a circle in the sanctuary and go through our highs and lows for the week. We also read our letter from our parents and really reflected our time together. There were a lot of tears involved there. After that, we regrouped and played games; including a STAGE classic "aliens," and sardines. Then we cleaned up a little bit and went to bed.
