The second North bound challenge started with 1 grapefruit and 1 mission; to get to the Sea of Galilee as quick as possible!!! A welcome surprise awaited our blue team as we met up with Anthony who was to give us the rest of the tasks. We heard that we would be challenging with an extra team member. His name.......Trent!
Just to explain a bit: Trent is a guy we met while traveling in Israel. He is from Canada and is a youth pastor there at his church. The last couple of days he has been traveling with us and we have really come to love him.
NOW back to the challenge. Some of the tasks we had to do was: eat 1kg of olives and keep the pips as evidence, catch a fish in the Sea of Galilee and fry it, do a synchronized swimming routine of 10min, sleep on the beach for one night and then there was various sites we had to visit and scriptures we had to read.
We as a blue team thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the challenge. It was received with an eager spirit and with an enthusiasm like I have rarely seen. I think it is safe to say that although we were tired afterwards, we enjoyed it to the utmost and would gladly do it again!!!
