    Today all four teams met up (after we hiked our last 1.5 miles out at 5am in the dark) at Calvin Crest Camp. We met in their meeting hall...and it was so comforting to see everyone again! It's crazy how much we missed each other...shows how much love fills this place! We performed some awesome skits showing some highlights of our Trek team's experiences and then Dave led a chapel about "Communion" and then we took Communion together! We then drove back to campus, unpacked and helped put all the equipment away, ate lunch (burger bar!) and FINALLY took a shower! Thing I missed most on Trek? BATHROOMS! It was probably the most appreciated shower I have ever taken! (We weren't allowed to wear deodorant on Trek to lesson the smelly stuff for bears and it's really bad for your skin to keep reapplying without washing it off!) So you can imagine what we all smelled like! The rest of the day was spent relaxing around campus and just simply catching up and swapping Trek stories as we reunited withe everyone! We then all dyed our hair...bleach and blue! Hello bleach streak in my hair. Blue soon to be added! While doing this, we all watched the 1st Lord of the Rings in the meeting hall! fun fun! love being back and reunited with everyone here!
