I expected a struggle to get things moving this morning, but it was just the same as every other morning here in Wilcox. The first round of alarms went off at 5:30, and a few brave souls scrambled for the showers. The second round went off at 6:00, and everyone rolled out of bed, dressed, and headed to the dining hall for breakfast, which was the same as every other morning as well. The invariable menu consisted of eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. Occasionally, they added French toast to those, and once added pancakes. Bulk cereal with milk and orange or apple juice were available in separate lines. Servings were not that large for any of the meals here, either, but I found that it was enough that I wasn’t hungry at all.
Church services were held in the same field as last Sunday, and I saw Frank Van Winkle again. This time I sat with Skip Gaudreau, though, and we saved seats for Brian and Sean Goodey, who were called on to pass the sacrament.
Skip is one of the assistant scoutmasters in Brian's troop. He is also in our ward back home, and he was the individual most responsible for the fact that Brian and I wound up attending the Jamboree.
The meeting was great. A young men’s choir sang “We’ll Bring the World His Truth” and then the only speaker was Elder Robert D. Hales.
I had enough time after the meeting to go back to Wilcox and change before heading back to Technology Quest for the afternoon. Things went normally from there. Work, long bus ride, dinner, shower, call Pam, then bed.
