My church wanted to raise money for our Sunday Schools. To do so 10 of us took a plunge into freezing water. :)
On Saturday Albert Lea was hosting the Polar Plunge. A chunk of ice was cut out from the lake. Volunteers were able to jump into the little pool of freezing water surrounded by 25 inches of ice. A few people from my church decided to take a risk and jump to raise money for our youth. I was one of them. So everybody could recognize us we all got matching bright yellow shirts. "We tried to walk on water. Oops... We took the plunge"" was written on the back. It was a shock when you dived into the water. You couldn't feel how cold it was. You just lost your breath. I bolted out of the water as soon as possible. A little bit later I jumped in for the second time. I enjoyed the natural rush you got from the cold water. It was exhilarating and exciting! I had a lot of fun :)
