The Amazing Race

Last weekend my team and I were involved in an amazing race. The teams were Egypt, Mexico and Thailand. We started off with looking at a tray with a whole bunch of different objects on it. Then they covered it and we had to write down as many as we could remember down. We ended up leaving second. The first obstacle was looking for a needle in a pile of hay. Egypt found there's and left, Mexico found there's and left but we were still there looking for ours. After a half hour we still did not find it so they let us go. We had a bunch of different obstacles and amongst them we had to find a post card of Fort Langley and believe me when I say its not that easy.

Bob got treated t0 a very nice roastbeef dinner while we sat on the ground and at our bag lunches and let me tell you , Bob made sure we knew what we were missing.Jessica had to eat Durian ( an asian fruit that smells like rotting socks, cabbage and is not allowed in govt buildings inThailand for its smell)


We also went to the Fire Station to do some crazy challenges. I think putting on the outfit and doing some obstacles is the closest I will get to being a firefighter. There was also this one challege where Bitsy had to watch this video for a period of time...badger,badger, badger, badger, mushroom,mushroom and on and on... The day started at 9 am and ended at about 7pm. We started off being in last place, but by the end, we had taken the lead and ended up being the winning team. We got to learn more about each other and we can see that God is really bringing us together as a team. A long day, but was it fun!
