A few Crazy Days in Missouri Area III

Yo Yo Everybody,

I'm here in Shelbina, MO and I have had one CRAZY adventure here in Missouri...loved every minute of it!

I started off my time in Missouri by being late. My last blog mentioned (in big words) that I was stuck in Chicago. As a result I ended up missing quite a bit of quality time here in Missouri on Monday when I was still try to get here. But I finally arrived.

After a few hours on the road after landing in Kansas City I arrived at Bucklin to a warm audience and assembly where the junior class tried and tried again to flick a tiny little ping pong ball off of a water bottle. You wouldn't think it would be too hard.

That night I stayed in Chillocathe. Today started off early in New Cambria where I spent the morning with 20 Freshman who were awesome! We spent time talking about "FFA" ".ORG" and the TONS of opportunities FFA has to offer. The next class was just Catherine and I and we stepped through note cards, talked about the 7 benefits outside of the FFA mission statement, and yes even about martial arts!

Then I spent some time with the juniors and seniors. We spent some time working thru discipline, passion, and action. Combining these things ensures that we can have a remarkable performance--every time. Check out this fun picture:

Trust me, there was definitely some mad skill going on here.

This afternoon I spent time with Meadville HS, then we jumped on the big yellow bus and we were off to the Area III leadership conference. One of my favorite people in the world was there: Megan Westhoff. She delivered an outstanding speech! I spent time with some rocking awesome chapter members creating some new, innovative, creations to sell at the Missouri State Convention, and even got to argue with my new friend Ethan from Brookfield. Ethan--if you are reading this--you need to audition for the National FFA Chorus.

The evening ended off with some incredible food and a bus ride with South Shelby. Although you are crazy, South Shelby--I love you even still.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DAY!
