*This is the one day I forgot to really record the happenings and going on's, so it will be a bit shaky....but I'll try to remember and write down all of this day that I can remember.
For rising at "Stupid O'clock", I was very chipper this morning. I curled my hair, got ready for the day, ate a splendid home made Omelet (made by my host dad) for breakfast, and loaded up the car to head to the buses. Dang, was their house way back in the words.....roads twisting here and there and everywhere.....a fellow could get lost out there. We had a long bus ride today, to North Fork. When we finally arrived, it appeared to be in the middle of no where. Literally. It was in the sticks.....there was no other building around the church....seriously. However, the people there were warm, friendly, and hospitable. They served us a tip top, potluck kinda dinner, which was eaten outside......the city folks in our choir were easy to spot. A spider made his appearance on several of the ladies.....and they screeched like buzzards. Knats and mosquitoes where in the air too, and the disgusted complaints from prissy, city ladies were heard all over. Marissa was bit on the face by a spider. I didn't laugh.....of course not. Not me. Really though, it was quite rude of all those girl's who squealed and made a big deal of eating outside and having bugs around. Grow up. Really. And learn some manners. Ugh. Anyways.....the food was quite delicious and we then set up for the concert and....performed. The concert went very well. The people loved us and were really touched by our songs. It was a tiny, ity bity church, but, we managed to fit, and God used us to bless those listening. They informed us that North Fork was the center of California. (Apparently it's famous for it's two grocery stores and one gas station....). After the concert, we torn down the gear, gathered our luggage, and waited to be pawned off to families again. Some of the girls were shipped off to host families. Then, 40....or 60....I don't remember which....of the girl's loaded up on one of the buses and we were taken to a camp, for the night. It took us forever to get to the camp.....over an hour. We just kept driving...and driving....and driving....in to nothingness and woods and sticks. Just when I'd decided that they were just driving us into the woods to massacre us all and leave our bodies in the woods for the bears, we arrived at Yosemite....and then at the camp place. I roomed with Sheree, Jessica R., Carol Ann, Lineka, and Michelle. We hit the hay shortly after moving into the room......however.........the rest of the hall seemed to have other ideas. They were so loud and obnoxious and loud! Finally, I stormed out there and asked them, politely, to quite down a bit, as some people, including all in my room, where trying to sleep. They quieted down....for 3 minutes....then the ruckus started up again.....so I stormed out there again and hissed "SHHHHH!!!!!!!" as loudly as possible. They quieted down for about 5 minutes this time before starting up. But the noise died down shortly afterward, thankfully. Peace and quiet......some people don't understand the meaning or need for it. sheesh. These blankets.....they smell weird....musty. Good night.
