Well the first day of the competition went by and we were kinda bummed at the end because we did not score a 400. The top 16 out of 70 teams make it to the finals and right now we are not one of them. We need to score a 390 or above to make it. We have to just put our faith in God and whatever he decides goes.
I was really discouraged cause we came in and there was a team that copied our attatchments,robot and basically our software. I just talked on the phone with my dad and he said read this verse Philipians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxoius about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts in Christ Jesus”. That is perfect for this situation.
I hope all of you back home are keeping us, Mr Bohannan and the other teams in your prayers. This is hard for me to think we worked so hard to get here and we cant get a 400. But anyways I can’t wait to get back to America but at the same time I dont want to leave Europe because we are having so much fun here and these guys are like my second family.
In Christs love and grace,Jon
