Quest - Day 2

Quest - Day 2 Tuesday 7/10/07

Well it was a pretty long day since it WAS technically the first day. I thing the first day of camps like these always seem to be the most long and “not really know what’s going to happen” kind of day.

Well that morning I was still kind of wondering when I was going to be able to pack! But before I could even think of that my alarm went off that morning and I was up pretty darn fast for several reasons. #1: I wanted to be awake for the first official PT of Quest 2007 (sounds pretty good right? no really I waned to be awake for it!) #2: I waned to have enough time to be able to find my PT gear from my unpacked bag! #3: Well it is always good to use the restroom before PT... and I am glad I did too, because we were running that morning!

Now we got out there @ 5:35 (and it was kind of dark not too bad) and I am pretty sure we did some sort of pushups but I mostly remember the running! (This is where the other Quest guys can help out my memory.)

So the running was really not that bad, it was short and slow because we were not in small groups we were all going on this small run. I think since it was the first day and first run then it made it seem worse, I DON’T KNOW! But this run did give me a chance to run all throw the group and find people I know and I did find some! First I saw Tim Stoker (who was in my team LAST YEAR) then I saw David Lovett we got to chat some and catch up on some things and he said he was a leader this year and that he was looking forward to Quest this year.

So that was a pretty good start to the day and Quest I guess!?! =) No, I think It was a great start. Then @ 6:05 we went back to the dorms where slowly I started meeting people. By slowly I mean we did not have much time... by not having much time I mean... @ 6:10 we had 20 min to get 6 guy through the showers and dressed and brushed teeth and all that stuff and starting daily devotions @ 6:30!

So we had like 50 to like 55 min. to do devotions.
So I sat down and looked through mostly John and some of Psalms.

Here are some verses that I went through that morning:

Matthew:

1-2

Luke:

18:22

John:

13:24-35
14:15
14:21
14:23
15:7
15:3-4
15:8
15:10
15:11
15:12-13
15:14, 17

Psalm:

10

1 John

2:3-5
5:2-3

Matthew:

28:19-20

Galatians

3 & 5

My Memory Verse was:

John:

14:15; 15:7-8

The memory work was probably one of the hardest parts of Quest, but it was not hard this day because remarkably I remembered this one from last year! Except instead of it being at the beginning of Quest it was towards the end last year. So I got this one signed off, no big.

So, @ 7:28 we left for breakfast which was 7:30.

@ 7:35 we had breakfast and then @ 7:55 we all were finishing our meal and Colonel Tanner led the wisdom search that morning.

#1 We went through John 14:23 where I got: GOD WILL LOVE.

And #2 John 14:21 and got: JESUS WILL LOVE.

#3 1 John 2:5 and got: GOD WILL COMPLETE HIS JOB THROUGH US.

#4 1 John 5:2 and I got: GOD WILL LOVE OTHERS THROUGH US.

And then we all went over: 1 Kings: 3

Over all: OBEY = LONG LIFE

Then @ 8:30 we all went over to the science hall for our morning meeting. Since it was the first day Colonel Tanner went over how there should be no pranks for several reasons. We went over the prank thing for a while and looked what the Bible said about this and went to 1 Corinthians 3:11 and how we should be somewhat of a “Quest Army”.

Then @ 9:00 Samuel Kordik got up and talked abut how we need to read and fallow the guidelines that were given to us. Also by the way right before we started this meeting I got to say hello to Sam Kordik.

After that @ like 10:30 we went to go do a work project (correct me if I’m wrong Quest guys) of lawn work.

@ 12:00 had lunch.

The whole green group had dishes (by this time by the way I found out that Tim Fuler was a teem leader) wish means we clean the whole BIG kitchen.

@ 14:00 had learned abut canoeing.

@ 17:00 had Supper.

@ 19:00 Evening Class: Cpt. Menzel spoke to us and as always he was GREAT! One thing he always says is “when you make a mistake you need to know how to recover”.

@ 20:10 we had like less then one hour of free time. Now you have to use your free time wisely BECAUSE it is only one hour. So this is time to call home or get ready for bed and next day or do your journaling or goof off. So this is why I say to choose wisely. lol.

@ 21:00 evening devotions with Mr. Shepherd (our group leader).

@ 21:30 Lights out!

Went to bed, and that was the end of day 2! =)
