The early morn- ing drills, scaling walls, hiking up rope ladders, other grueling activi- ties prepared them for their four weeks in Egypt. Their duties in Egypt were to build play ground equipment at a Christian orphanage. At a later date, Rob and Dan will show pictures of their trip so watch for the date.
