ECMT part 2
September 17th-23rd
Aaahhh training camp. Personally for me it was getting up at 5 a.m. and going to bed close to 11 p.m. that really struck me as hard. On the first day we picked up Hannah, Sarah, and Chris. All the members in order of age on the trip are as follows: Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Amber, Courtney, Chris, Madison, Sarah, Emily, Hannah, myself, and Rachel. The next morning we started the official training camp which went six days. After approximately 48-52 hours of bible study, several hours of song time, and several hours of sign language/mime technique we set of on the road to our first stop on the 23rd. |

ECMT part 1
I will put these next several entries of the mission trip in Journal form.
September 16th, 2009
Today we had a long drive starting in Branson, Missouri and ending in Vanleer, Tennessee at Camp Ridgedale. My Dad dropped my sister and I off at the Browns house and we prayed then drove to pick up Amber Redmond. Then we started our drive to Tennessee. After we crossed the MO/AR border it started to rain. It rained and rained and rained and rained (did I mention it rained?) almost all the way there. We arrived at the Camp at around 6 p.m. and found out the power was out so we had a candle light dinner. In the middle of some hang out time after dinner we got power again, so we played a game called Apples to Apples then went to our respective dorms (boys dorm, girls dorm). Lights were out in about 15 minutes. |

| I have to prepare a bible study for my mission trip and I am almost done with the first of four sections. First I am paraphrasing certain passages from the bible, then getting to ask questions. Today I also decided to create my own code so here it is and a sentence in English. "Hello, how are you?" now in code "gwkkim giq EW TIY>" I will leave you to guess. xibfeRYKruiba tiy dufyews ur iyr, |

The Final Presentation for the summer session 2009
Yesterday was the last day of the session so we had a presentation and it was a lot of fun.
The songs we presented (and their length) are as follows:
In the Light [4.5 min.],
Devil is bad [3 min.], (I was the devil)
Virtuoso [4 min.], (I was the devil)
Courtroom [6 min], (I was the devil(seeing a trend?)){The satan cape is black and large so by the lengths of the song you can figure how long I was sweating in that cape.}
Washed in the blood [4 min.],
In God we still trust [4 min.], and finally
Freedom and Restoration [9 MINUTES!] (I was the devil){and I wore the cape through that to}
So all in all I was a pretty evil guy last night.
Mrs. Mills came to me after the presentation and asked if it was a compliment to say I played a good devil.
(what is your opinion?) |

Service Project
| Today was a service project day for AIM.
The first thing was to go to the recplex (a place kind of like YMCA) and eat breakfast which contained doughnuts, um doughnuts, and doughnuts (did I mention doughnuts?). \
Then we (AIM) went to Alexander Park, that is a park here in Branson, MO, and painted the restrooms and pavilion of that park. Mulching was done by Charleton and Amber.
James, and I helped pitch the mulch into a wheelbarrow where it could be dumped and spread. I accidentally stabbed James with the pitchfork... then I got accidentally stabbed by James with HIS pitchfork.
After we were done, we finished up the painting and then washed the brushes and pans. I was then dropped off at The Salvation Army Church, where I was picked up by my dad and now I am home. |

Aim workshop part two
| On the second day I went straight up to Electives. I went to stroll miming. There I learned Mime boot camp. First one of the mimes orders the others into a straight line and he/she paces back and forth and fixes any uneven lines, goofy faces and statues. If a mime is mischievous then he/she orders him/her to do push-ups, running in place, or jumping jacks etc. We had a mime tug of war and hide and seek. Next was bible study and we talked about how to have the spirit in our lives. I can't remember exactly what was said but it was a great study. Dinner was next and I had brought mine so I ate it and talked with the guys from the workshop. After dinner was MAIL TIME! Michael had three letters since it was his birthday and Summer had one and Daniel had one. With Audrey Voth and Ellie Voth they did the three little pigs. Michael and Summer then did the bunny song (not veggietales because Michael didn't know it (shame shame)) Then we did more electives and I went to public speaking and did an impromptu speech on bunny's. Next I did a transition to go and everybody clapped. Charleton did an impromptu speech on knights and nights. More bible study time came and we all went by ourselves and had about ten minutes of reflection and waiting on God. It was awesome! I felt that God had descended in power on the church. After that was song time and we did In God We Still Trust, which is a twangy song that hardly anybody really likes that much but it is fun to do. I got the Dad part, Madison was the Mom, and Kyle Duncan was the son. Finally we presented for the parents and everybody liked it. The Midwest team did Freedom and Restoration. That is the end of the workshop and we had a fun time in doing it. |

Aim workshop part one (section 2)
| After dinner we went on to electives there was public speaking and single mime. I went to single mime with John (my brother) and learned the song Thief. The song is based on the thief that was crucified with Jesus and then went to heaven. Then we learned cross technique. Gabriel gave us some good advice on what to do.
Next was song time. We were taught In God We Still Trust. First we watched the mission trip present the song and then they had a discussion about parts. I was the Dad, Madison (my sister) was the Mom
and Kyle Duncan was the Son. We practiced it a couple times and did very well for the first and second time.
Thus ended the first day of the workshop. |
