St. Louis Alternative Spring Break Mission Trip 2003


12 crazy kids from CTK decided they would rather spend their break helping others more then hanging out at the beach. However there was the catch...we weren't doing commuity service in louisiana...we had to go out of state to make it an adventure! and well it was the best way i have ever spent my spring break....here are 10 great reasons to go...explainations will be given upon request....10. "Time to go...so, where are the keys?"...9. Getting trapped on the metro...8. Late night dancing parties...7. Chanting the LSU fight song in the arch tram...6.Two unexpected visits to Illinois...5. Driving 15 minutes to shower..."Do we really have to?"...4. Random brake checks...3. Ted Dre's Custard with live entertainment...2. A dozen new friends...#1.Touching lives through volunteering.
this is our entire group standing out in front of the church we slept at....l>r Katie, lindsey, me, laura, kt, renee l, kelly, renee and jeanna...the boys... jimmy, joey and sam
