Where Tim is in the Special Olympics
I had a long dream about a missions trip. At one point, we were eating hamburgers, and I sensed that Stefanie wanted to talk, so I pulled my chair up to hers and she started talking but she was talking really quietly so I couldn't hear all that she had said, only that Tim was in the Special Olympics. So I was thinking, "Oh my gosh! What happened to him?" but I prayed out loud for him and was like, "Lord, please help Tim with whatever's wrong with him..."
Then I heard this burst of laughter behind me, and I turned around and Angela was there laughing hysterically. "What are you laughing at?" I asked, but she just kept laughing and shaking her head. "What did I say?" More laughter and head-shaking. "What did SHE say?" I asked, pointing toward Stefanie. Finally she gathered herself enough to say, "Tim isn't IN the Special Olympics, he volunteered to HELP at the Special Olympics."
Then at some point, Sarah and Jasmine were standing up on chairs and talking about the last missions trip. Jasmine was like, "And all you did the whole week was whine" (in a very whiny tone) "'I wanna go home! I wanna go home!' And then when we started to go home you were like, 'I wanna stay here! I wanna stay here!'"
This was all like in the backyard of a hotel while we were waiting for PJ and the other leaders to return from checking out.
