I had a really fun day yesterday (19/11/06)! My sub-zone was playing the Amazing Race. My team members were Sherman, Zachary, Douglas and Alicia. Oh man! I keep mixing Sherman and Zachary up! They just look so alike. Haha. And they both kept on confusing me because they knew that I kept mixing them up! Sherman kept saying that he was Zach! Ugh those two boys!! Haha. But anyways, they were great! All my team members were great! You guys were amazing! I seriously thought that we wouldn't even have a chance of winning because we were the second last team at the 5th station. And because the last team which we were supposed to compete with was too slow, we had to skip that station and move on to the last station. And guess what?! We were the last to be there! Then, it came to announcing the top 4 teams. As the teams were being called out, "A_, A_, A_, and last but not least...."Although I really knew that there wasn't a chance, I just kept mouthing my group's name"b2..b2..b2..b2..b2.." And guess what?!! "..... B2!" I was like, "OH-MY-GOSH!" Seriously, I just stood there and stared at my group members while they too were staring back at me. Haha. The top 4 teams then had to do their group cheer. Ours went like this,
"Who's gonna win!
B2! B2!
Who's gonna win!
B2! B2!
Go..............B2!
Go B2.. Go B2.. Go, Go, Go B2...(with our butts and hands going round)
Go..............B2!"
Sherman looked so cute doing the actions =) And Lucas kept making us do it over and over again. Haha.
"And so....................The $60 Swenson voucher goes to..............................B2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tell you. I was so shocked.. But happy =D
Then I told Alicia. "Slow and steady wins the race." Haha.
Well, because after the food game, we had to go to the 4th station which involved running. And as a result, my members were too tired to run after that station. So I just let them walk. And when we arrived at the 5th station, Douglas threw up. Poor chap. First he had diarrhoea, then he puked. So yeah, we just walked all the way. And yup. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!
Mark 10:31
"But many who are first will be last, and the last first."
Ohh. We had a memory verse which was the last station. And our verse was:
Deuteronomy 28:13
And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.
What an encouragement eh? Haha.
