Captain's Cup is kind of like a track and field day. All the divisions compete in events such as sit ups, push ups, running, softball, etc. It is a fun day and I think really the first time that they actually integrate with other SRs in their ship. Since 165 has both males and females, they won the event for the integrated division.

Thanks everyone for the prayers! We just found out that the tornado that hit my hometown was an EF4. They're still without power since Wednesday. I brought my parents to my home, which has power. I didn't brave the 2 hour gas station lines, but I did get some today! Yay! It will be nice to get away from everything next week.

The town that got hit that is 8 miles from me was an EF2. I live in Central Arkansas about 30 miles north of Little Rock. I have seen pictures of the one that hit in Alabama and it was huge. Thankful that you and your family are safe. I know you will be looking forward to getting away from it all next week. Have a safe trip!

Maybe they had watch and had to miss out. I am sorry that your family and Shaun's mom's family missed out on the calls.
From what J said, they are all excited about BS21 and grad. can not wait to get it over with. They did have fun on Sat. and was glad that they won the CC.
That there is excitment in the air about everyone getting to see friends/ family in just a couple of days. They all should get to call on Tue. to tell us the good news.
Hang in there, just a few more days. Really sorry you did not get the calls. :o(
Your thoughts and prayers go out to the ones in BS21 tonight.
