Today we ate our free breakfast at the hotel again.
We joined our kids as they competed in their AWANA Bible Quiz rounds today. Beth and Abby were on a team with a senior named Mary, and a freshman named Joe. Todd was on another team with a senior named Thomas, a freshman named William, and a sophomore named Sarah Lydia. In addition, there was a third team from the kids' AWANA which included a senior named Elizabeth, a sophomore named Natalie, a freshman name Kathryn, a Junior named Corbin and a freshman named Preston. There are 45 quiz teams competing over the course of today and tomorrow. Half of the teams competed today.
The first round, all 3 of the above teams went on to the next round. The second round was called the Bronze round. Todd's team received Bronze status recognition (they lost in that round), and the other two teams went on. The 3rd round was called the Silver round where the 3rd team above received Silver medals (losing out in that round.) The 4th and final round of today was called the Gold round and 13 teams competed with 5 moving on to the Platinum round tomorrow night during closing cerimonies. Beth and Abby's team were 10th place in this round and ended their day very happy with Gold medals.
I was humbled and amazed to see how much these young adults have hidden God's Word in their hearts!
Since none of our teams are proceeding to the Platinum round tomorrow night, we will see our 3 youngest again on Monday before noon.
We ate an early dinner at 4pm at Smokey Bones and it was excellent!
We came back to the hotel and all but Eric took a nap.
We found a 9marks.org church to attend here in Greensboro for tomorrow morning that meets in a hotel less than 10 minutes away.
We watched some TV and went to bed a little after 11pm.

We will miss you ALL at church today!
Not ever the same without the Santee family. Praying that Abby is feeling better and adjusting to short hair...I always worry about those short hair shocks...hope your doing okay too, Amy Jamie and Danny. Congrats to all who have worked so hard to have God's Word hidden in your hearts and minds. May HE bless your day and minister to your heart as you worship Him today. Bill just found out that all the gear in the storage trailer will remain in storage this morning...no plowing was done and we have lots of snow!
It will be an interesting morning!
All for the glory of the LORD. HE does work all things together for good for those who love HIM and are called according to HIS purposes...I reads a verse to Bill early this morning (before we knew about the trailer)telling him that this was the verse of the day. Acts 14:22 We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.
I am sure that this is more of an inconvenience than a hardship when I also read of a couple ministering in China who lost their heads...or Paul being stoned and left for dead then getting up and going back into Lystra.
Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
Love,
JoAnn
