Hello there! This is Meg! We are currently in the cars on our way back to you all. Yesterday, as you all probably know, was our day off and the beginning of the trip home. We had to wake up even earlier yesterday than the rest of the week, 6 o’clock. We then proceeded to finish packing, clean the church, and eat breakfast. After saying our goodbyes and taking lots of pictures, our group went to Centennial Park to wait for our time slot at the Coke museum.
We had been told that there were several surprises waiting for us throughout the day. Then, as we were waiting, Andrew Burger and his family came walking up! They were on their way to Tennessee and had plotted with Catherine to surprise us with a visit. After finding this first surprise we went into the museum to wait to go through. Then, as we waited, Lewis Starkey, Victor Jones, Brian Skyrms, Cole Miles, and their friend Ben walked in for a visit as well! Then we went through the museum anticipating tasting the various sodas from around the world. Just a word of advice: if you ever go there DO NOT taste the one called “Beverly,” trust me. But after all of that we went to The Varsity for lunch, where Lewis, Victor, Brian, Cole, and Ben left us. After that, the group plus Andrew’s family went to Stone Mountain for the afternoon. We rode a suspended cable car to the top where we took pictures, ate snow cones, and played a game of mafia.
Then we rode the car back down and said our goodbyes to Andrew and began the drive home. We drove a couple hours until we arrived at Camp Tygart where we were pleased to find air-conditioned cabins and new showers. We then had a short meeting where we opened letters from you all and discussed the trip as a whole. We had a fitful sleep (until 8!) and woke up much more refreshed. This morning we went the Cracker Barrel for lunch and now we are back in the car headed for home.
All in all, I have had an amazing time on this trip and am so grateful for the many opportunities presented to me by this church. On this trip, I have formed and strengthened friendships and have even learned a little bit about myself. I thank you all for your prayers and can’t wait to see some of you in a few hours! To my family: I love you so much, thank you for having faith in my abilities and I can’t wait to see you in four weeks!

Okay well this is Jessica again and we are on are way back home. We have reached Florida and we went to breakfast this morning at cracker barellal. The car ride back home is a little bit more exciting because we get to see yall back home and we finally found stuff to do in the car. We have all decided to skip lunch and just drive strait to the church so we well probably arrive around 2:30 or something but then we got to clean out the car so we cant home till like 3 but I don’t mind! I’m kind of mad that now the trip is over and we have to go back home (not saying that’s a bad thing were excited remember) but, the trip was really good I was I the group Sidney and you probably already heard what I did so I’m not going to repeat everything but, yes it was really good and even thought we didn’t have any air condition we still lived and I was pretty excited cause on the 2 or 3 day when we got air condition it was right over my bed so that was pretty exciting! So yeah I guess well just see you guys later! Bye-bye!
(p.s. Paul please remember to pick me up at the right time make sure you find out what time you pick me up and just double check what ever time my mom says.)
