Went camping last night, Daniel once again wow'd us all with his amazing cooking skills!! Who would have thought hobo dinners would be so good. Now we are on our way to Davenport in Iowa where we will be treating ourselves to a night at a hotel in actual beds haha. On the way we are also making a stop at the worlds largest truck stop (again) to do free hugs :)

today was sooo coool. i was super scared to go on the raft, but im so glad i did. we all had a really good time...not to mention checking out the cute guide! we had soaked wet suits on and booties that still had water in them from the day before but it was still awesome! then after our rafting experience we went up to mt evans that was 14,000 feet into the air and it felt like we were in the clouds! it was also a little hard to breathe up there and most of us didnt feel good but we climbed the rocks anyway and took many pictures! we also had a relaxing and freeing church service a little lower down in the mountain which was cool. after all that, it was time to eat! we went to a really good pizza restaurant and katie and i shared margarita pizza which was phenominal. and now, im chillin here with pink hair dye in my hair...so surprise mom and dad...your daughter now has pink hair. oh and mrs busse, nicole does too! (: dont worry, it loooks really cute! and its only a little tiny strand. okay, goodbye everyone. thanks for following this!

Hi everyone,
Thanks to everyone who has voted for the green team, we are dominating!  We've been in Denver now for 3 days and have seen and done so many amazing things.  We spent a day at wilderness on wheels, went to a Colorado Rockies game, went white-water rafting (and none of us fell out of the boat), went 14,000 feet up to Mt. Evans, and had communion on the mountain.  Tomorrow we will start our journey home.  Thanks to all who visited this blog, supported our group, and helped us out.
Love,
Totally Epic Trevor

heyy everybody! this is a really awesome trip and i'm super duper happy I had the opportunity to go. Thank you everyone:) speaking of awesomeness... today we went white water rafting and had the BEST TIME EVERRR! Also we went to the top of this really high mountain and it was like 40 degrees up there no joke. But still, it was really amazing and completely breathtaking. Absolutely one of the best expiriences of my life. But thanks again to the church community. Also... I love and miss you guys-amanda, gabe, and nana!

hello everyone!
this has been such an amazing experience so far! we are doing a lot of incredible things. yesterday we filled san bags for about 3 and a half hours! there were many times that we wanted to quit. it was very hard work. but then we remembered all the people we would be helping and that gave us so much motivation! all together we made over 1000 bags of sand.  last night, we served at the homeless shelter.  it was really nice to see there smiling faces while we served them and talked to them. David made a new friend, james.  they were so much alike!  it felt good knowing that we put smiles on their faces and made them happy (:
we also learned a very good lesson, never judge a book by its cover.  when we showed up to the camp site, everyone was a little skeptical. it didnt seem like a normal camp site. but later in the evening when we were talking to Bob, the owner, took us up to see the stars and told us about the history of North Platte, Nebraska, we realized that we were in the right place (:  God has been so good to us on this trip so far.  while driving into denver, along the horizan were mountains.  it was amazing seeing Gods phenomenal creation. we are looking forward to serving Him on the rest of this trip.
God Bless! <3

TREVOR!!!

Hi,
The black van is the best van!  Pretty, pretty please - vote for my group (AKA the green group) as your favorite group (and for you Brits, your "favourite" group).  The group is Dano, Emily, & Nicole.  The title of this blog (totally epic) describes it all, we spent three days driving and saw loads of cool stuff on the way.  We got to Denver around 5-6pm tonight and Dan is making spaghetti for dinner.  Thanks to everyone that we've met so far, to all who've supported this trip, and to the two-hundred-some-odd folks who've visited this site.  May the good Lord bless you!
I love you all!

okay, sam here!

i woke up this morning and my neck and shoulders hurt super duper bad and it was early so i thought i would fall asleep to escape the pain. it worked! when the group woke up some girls took the first shower of the trip, and that was amazing even though there was a mammoth sized bug in the shower. but it was nice to feel clean none the less. we then ate breakfast and were on the road. i was so happy to be on the road and we had a great time "worshipping" in the van. seeing the mountains for the first time was incredible! it kinda felt like we were driving uphill the whole time we were driving today.....dont worry....we have been drinking lots of water....practically going through a case a day! we are finally in the church and we were all relieved to see there was carpet and COUCHES! i love the earth, but not pariculary sleeping on it....as most of us agree. We are staying in a great church with clean bathrooms and showers. and exploring DENVER tonight (: thanks for following our trip! it means alot! oh, and special shout out to the workers at FORT CODY, we loved your store!
