Champion’s Day 2014

Champion’s Day

Today was a great day! I say that based on the work we did for the Kingdom today.
I have two quick stories to share with you from the Mansfield park. These stories are not exclusive to Mansfield. You could substitute the park and names at any of our parks. Lauren, water safety lead, at Mansfield took it upon herself this morning to get a whole tower clapping and cheering on a champion who was a little afraid of the mat racer. She not only rallied support for him she then went down the slide with him in the next lane. Yes, she was wearing her “dry” uniform when she did this. Lauren is one of the finest examples of a Hawaiian Falls employee that I have encountered this season. Second, Jeff and Andrew, water safety supervisor and EMT, carried a girl, who is wheelchair bound, from the bottom of the slide to the top so that she could ride in a tube with her friend for just one ride. I have attached a picture of their amazing selflessness. (Thanks Kristin for picture) Again, these are just two of the stories that were played out all over our parks today. So, for one day forget the guest concerns and all the “issues” and instead focus on and rejoice in the good. Each one of you impacted the Kingdom today by living out our mission of “Serving the Lord by Bringing Families Closer Together”. Thank you all for being servants! I don’t think this day could have come at a better time for us all.
