Well....

Well....I told you I was bad about this blogging thing! I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words. I'll start writing a post then I'll get stuck and not know what to do. I have a ton of saved drafts just waiting to be published..... Oh well, I'll just give you a quick recap on these past couple weeks.

V.B.S ended and I was off to summer camp. I haven't been to one since seventh grade. We went to Bryon College in Tennessee. There were a few mishaps while we were there, (there's always those few kids who do things they aren't supposed to do.) Anyways, a lesson was learned by all, I hope. I cannot speak for the ones who did wrong. O.k., after I got back from camp I had one week to rest, wash my clothes, and pack again for the mission trip.

For this mission trip we went to Elvis' birthplace! It was an amazing experience. I was on a crew with my sweet-heart. :o) That was something I was not expecting. It was a pleasant surprise
though. We were on a crew with other older high schoolers and some older college students. We had a roofing project. There were quite a few holes in the roof that needed to be patched and the chimney needed some work too. We had a great crew though and we were finished before lunch on Thursday morning. Since we were done we got moved to a new work site. They had a more difficult roof and needed some extra help. We were the third crew on the new work site. Imagine, over 20 people working on a roof and painting......it was interesting! It went well and we were finished by 4 p.m. on Friday.

All in all it was a fantastic mission trip. There were 31 projects and they were all completed by Friday. The most important thing however, was the number of people who accepted Christ. There were over 10 people who became Christians. It was an amazing experience, I can't wait for our next mission trip...

Once we got back home I had college calls to make. It was no fun let me tell you what! Those professors are horrible at returning calls and e-mails. In fact, I'm still trying to reach one of them regarding sign language stuff. I went this past Monday to the college I'm attending to get my books. :o) I feel like an official college student now. I've got my books, my backpack, binders, tons of paper, pens, highlighters, pencils, and erasers. I'm ready to start....maybe. ;o)

Oh, G.I. Joe and I also went to a baseball game with our youth group Monday. A fun time was had by all!

This Friday the high school girls Sunday School class is going ice skating. I haven't been ice skating in forever! I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun....

Next week is Youth-I-Versity. Basically is a V.B.S. for middle schoolers and high schoolers. But don't tell them I said that, they'll get offended! Instead of it being during the day, it'll be at night from 7-11, or something like that. I have to check the schedule and make sure.

Well, I think you're all caught up. I'll try to get better at this blogging thing. It may take a while though. Now, I will bid you all adieu!

Until next time,
