The Amazing Race worked!




WOW! What a wonderful night of fun and excitement during The Amazing Race! 37 teens as race participants and 24 adult volunteers, and the house was packed. I would like to thank all of the adults for their help. It was cold, and some of you just sat out there and did not let it bother you at all. I would like to say awesome job, to the teens, you kept moving and had good, honest, wholesome fun.

I think everyone learned just a little bit about the other people on their teams. Things like, the fact that some of you have iron stomachs, slugging down that McDonalds shake concoction which consisted of a Coke, Double Cheeseburger, and fries. Some of you had no qualms about diving into a pan of pudding after some gummy bears. Some of you wanted nothing to do with putting anything in your mouth. I learned that not as many of you are as smart as I thought you were. Those riddles were too easy! I guess next time I will have to put them on the 5th grade level, like the history questions. We learned that Rudy can take all of you at four square.

The night for me was absolutely fulfilling and God honoring. Thank you to all that had a hand in putting it together. I look forward to seeing you all again next year!
