There and back again

Hello everybody!
It's sooo good to be home! Don't get me wrong though, all twenty of us had a blast! We got rained on several times and got eaten alive by mosquitoes but God definitely taught us all patience and optimism. :)
God also protected us many times throughout the weekend. Bubbles a.k.a. MJ, got lost on our hike back down the mountain. Thankfully she remained calm and stayed in one spot. Praise God. Also, I didn't die from the heat even though i was feeling ill the whole way up the mountain and ran out of water. :P (not cool!)
All of us kids had an absolute blast playing mafia late into the night. i'm not sure what the other backpackers on the other side of the lake thought of us when they heard, "You are SO dead", or "Last night Byrde was murdered", or "who should we lynch just for kicks this time?", or "you are SO the mafia! Guys TRUST me! I KNOW she's the mafia! Seriously!!!". lol. i must admit that last phrase was prolly said by just me! :) But hey, ask anybody and they'll tell you that i have an inborn sense of being able to read guilty people. I'm pretty sure i freaked a couple of people out when i picked out the mafia every single time...is that something to be proud of??? ;)
Also, as Bug wrote on her post, setback was SO much fun. maybe that was just because my partner and i won 5 out of the 6 games played over the weekend or because of all the laughs everyone shared at the pizza parlor during a mass setback tournament. :)
Thanks so much for praying for us!
