Once our devotion was finished and a winner had been determined, it was time to get on the bus and head for the Eastern Shore. We took a few minutes to stretch and see the sights from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
We were soon back on the road and started toward Camp Occohannock on the Bay to learn about the camp and possibly do some work. Excited to finally arrive, we headed into the dining hall where the camp director Jerry gave us a short speech about the camp and then fed us lunch.
During lunch, we were made aware that our bus had become stuck in the sand while trying to turn around in the parking lot. Our mission work changed from helping the camp to helping get our bus out in order to make it to our next destination. After several attempts to dig the bus out, we eventually had to call a tow truck to pull "Annie" out to solid ground.
While some were working on getting the bus out of the sand, others were enjoying the God's beautiful creation and the camp's great facilities.
When Annie was finally released from the sand, we hopped onto the bus and headed toward Parksley, VA to our next church. We arrived at St. Thomas UMC and quickly unloaded the bus and started preparing for our next concert.
After an amazing dinner with some members of the congregation, we headed off to change into our concert attire. Before the concert, Katie and David combined their family groups for a devotion that required us to trust each other and lean on one another to make our activity work.
Then it was concert time! Afterward, we were matched with our host families and went our separate ways. Some people even had the chance to go to a local carnival.
Until next time,
