Scavenger Hunt

At Elevate last night we had a scavenger hunt. Now, to be honest, I started the night with a grumble because last years hunt was my LEAST favorite thing we did. I don't like going in public places and having people think you're a nutcase for doing some of the things listed. Last year was crazy - we did have fun, but I was completely embarrassed walking my friend Paula on an imaginary leash through the PetSmart and singing "I wanna be an Oscar Meyer wiener" in Walmart.

This year was different! We had much smaller groups which made it much easier and the tasks were not as embarrassing. We had a fun time and met some amazing people. One gentleman that stands out was Mr. Felton. As we pumped gas into his bus, he shared a story with us about HPC impacting his life. He told us about a health screen that was going on. He regularly visits his doctor every 6 months to a year and wasn't due for a little while for his next check up. He happened to visit his wife that was working at the Health Clinic and decided what the heck, I'll get the free screening. Come to find out they discovered he had prostrate cancer, but his doctor said it was caught very early (Praise God) and he hasn't had problems since. Mr. Felton was the highlight of our night. We washed dishes in Las Palmas, congratulated the Golden Corral for having the "best breakfast in town", took a picture with Briggs at Pastor's T's house, interrupted a life group to find Kristin Rentz, put our team in a buggy at Albertsons, and so much more. Overall the night was a blast. We ended up in 3rd place with 940 points out of about 10 groups. Not bad for a bunch of girls!
