A day that wont be forgotten...

Alright so last night at 2 a.m. I have a 2nd year come in and woke me up, handed me a letter, and screamed hurry up you have 10 minutes! I didnt know what was goin on! lol so my room mates and I stagger out into the hallway and the leaders are pissed! guys on one side of the hall, girls on the other. Totally silent. Then Shawn (He's been here since MC started) talked to us. We got dog tags that said MCDQ Masters Commission Dont Quit! We formed perfect lines, he left the room, turned the lights off, and left us in there for 3 hours. Pitch Black! Totally Silent. Standing straight up. 2a.m. till 5a.m. Then we headed out into the bus parking lot. (by this time half the girls are crying) The guys and girls split up into 8 teams. 4 girls teams and 4 guys teams. The guys have to push a truck with 2 guys in it up this big hill 5 times! While we did that the girls had to lay on their backs with their feet in the air! So after that I puked... Some people cried. I felt super sick just cause I gave 110% doing it! After that we got a muffin and one of those paper cups for babies of orange juice. We then went to this big hill tied together. There was about 15 of us! A kid named Colin... About 6'6 300 pounds did it with us also.. We had to go down and up 9 times.. At about 2 times we had to start carrying him! it was aweful. My legs we're beat. Theeeeeeen we got normal lunch. Then went to that same hill, blindfolded, and had to go through a maze. There we're a ton of ropes up and down, criss crossing so you constantly had to hook and un hook the carabiner. Not to mention about 50 guys were on this same course. It was hell! It took 3 hours to get done with it. The secret was, was just to ask for help. ERRRR!!!!!! After that we changed and walked to Hollywood.... Ya and its 10 miles away! All day long we werent aloud to talk. AT ALL! Not a word. So the walk there sucked. But then we spread out over the whole strip and at the same time kneeled and prayed for Hollywood and our city! It was so intense. People were asking questions and praying with us and praying for us. There was like 130 of us doing it. Totally shut Hollywood down and stole everyones attention for like 6 or 7 minutes. Then we walked back. And when we got back we had to carry everyone up that huge hill I was talking about. I helped carry 4 people and carried 4 people by myself. Totally over worked myself today! But it was for God and I had a good attitude all day. I also have to clean the floor laundry room. And I got 3 bills that I dont know how to pay for.. But God is good! :) I worked my butt off for 18 hours today! Woo Hoo!
