Day 5: Mission Work and Concert

Day 5 of the Rocky Mountain Tour was filled with a lot of hard work, fun, and great singing.  This morning our students loaded up the bus and headed to the Ponderosa Retreat Center south of Denver.  The retreat center is sponsored by the Denver Baptist Association and hosts summer camps and other retreats all year long.  Our students spent a lot of their time there picking up trash and cleaning the various recreation areas and hiking trails.  Once again our students did an excellent job of serving and working hard.

After lunch we returned back to the hotel and prepared for our evening program.  Our students led in worship and Mississippi Avenue Baptist Church tonight and did a fantastic job!  We performed our entire program for the final time while on tour.  This was their best concert and they communicated the message of their music in an excellent way.  Our group has made so much musical progress while on tour and we are excited about the opportunity to share it with the church this Sunday evening at our Student Music Home Concert.

When we arrived back at our hotel, the annual Bus Beau and Beauty Pageant was held.  This year’s winners were the Soggy Bottom Boys and Maddie’s Dance Party.  It was a lot of fun as usual and our students spent the rest of the evening playing cards, games and visiting with each other.  Tomorrow we will head to the Colorado River for a day of whitewater rafting.
