Mile High Robotics Team Scores Big in Florida
R
oboStangs, the robotics team from Mile High Academy, recently won second place at the First Tech
Challenge Adventist Robotic league competition at Forest Lake Academy in Florida. Robotics is a year-long
elective class where students work together to build a robot to compete in this competition. The task given the robot this year was to move blocks and other objects to a threetiered tower. The teams could also earn points by spinning a horizontal wheel that could be loaded with rubber duckies, and each rubber ducky they successfully got into the arena earned them points. Reflecting on the event, MHA junior Seth said, “It was a really fun experience driving the robot, meeting other robotics teams, and talking to them about their
designs. Our team did so much better than I could have imagined, and I am proud of the work we did.” MHA went up against 11 other teams from all over the United States–from California to North Dakota. In the qualification round, MHA came in fourth, and from there, starting with first place, each team chose another team to form an alliance. MHA formed an alliance with the Senjus team from Raleigh, North Carolina, and worked together to place second in the overall competition. The Robotics tournament was not the only exciting

Seven Baptized at Mountain View Church
T
he Mountain View Adventist Church in Longmont, Colorado, recently concluded a threeweek outreach series with seven individuals publicly declaring their commitment to Jesus through baptism on April 23. The series, sponsored by the Hispanic group at the church, featured Daniel Miranda from Colombia. The gatherings included several community members, some of whom learned about the meetings by passing by the church. Tim Jones, Mountain View Adventist Church pastor, recalls such a visitor.

“We had a gentleman walk by the church a week before the meetings started and he came inside where we were having a prayer meeting. This gentleman said he felt impressed to stop and come in. He was a practicing Baptist, but had recently had

difficulty reconciling the Sabbath with what he had been taught.” Jones continued, “This gentleman came to the meetings—every one of them— and decided to accept the love of God that is demonstrated in His word and
become a part of the Seventhday Adventist Church. It was a privilege to baptize him.” Church members are studying with five additional individuals who attended the series in preparation for a future baptism. The Mountain View members plan to hold several community outreach gatherings and another series of Bible meetings in the fall. “We are praying for God’s grace to be extended and accepted by the people in our community,” Jones added.
