Happy Fathers Day!

well today is fathers day. and right now i'm waiting to eat some fathers day steak so i thought i would talk about the day. well on the way to church we picked up my mom's friend raynel and went on our way to church. on the way there we saw that they were having a car show kind of thing down at the fire hall in town. so we thought that after church we would check it out. we got to church and at the end of the service all the fathers came up for prayer and got sarris chocolate bars. i got one because i helped out=]. then we went home and i went and did some swimming at my friends house for a while. mean while my brothers and my dad all went to see the cars down at the fire hall and got some pictures of them. the they came back and went swimming as well. but here are some pictures of some of the cars they saw.
then we came home and are now waiting for dinner to be ready. later on we may go to wiggies house for movie night but we're not sure yet. if not we'll probably hang around here for a while. well thats about it for me hope everyone has a nice fathers day.

Saturday and Sunday

Well, Saturday I woke up bright and early to go fishing but instead I woke up to really find that it was pouring down rain. So needless to say, the first half of the day stunk, but we fished anyways. It finally cleared up toward the of middle of the day. After fishing until about 3, we went to Brittini Scott's b-day party at 4:30. We all went up to Trinity High School to play football and ultimate frisbee. After a sunny afternoon, it decided to pour right in the middle of it for like ten minutes. Then we had sun shine again, so it was really a weird day. Later we went back to Brit's house and shot hoops and opened presents and such. After I got home, I worked on my lesson that Pastor Bill asked me to do for Sunday morning service until midnight. I really couldn't concentrate any more so I hit the sack.
When I got up Sunday, I completely changed my lesson and then got ready for church. During church the youth did worship and Kam, me, and Brit all spoke for the service. After church the drama team practice again for this afternoon because we had a youth event afterward. We headed down to Thomas Presby Church next door. They were having our youth group over and i played some dodge ball and a lot of basketball. Then at about 6:45 we preformed both dramas "Out of the Gray" and "Everything". Afterwards Andrea explained the dramas &asked if anyone wanted to get saved. As she said the sinner's prayer, 1 girl raised her hands! Since by then my mom had arrived, we left. Since it was a packed weekend, basically I've just been chillin around the house. I just thought i'd share that with you all. Here are some pics my mom took.

Spring Camp

Well this last weekend was my youth group's spring camp, and for the smallest camp I've ever been to it wasn't so bad after all. Friday night we all met at Harriet's house for prayer then to head out. The camp was an hour away. Well when we got there I was surprised at the size of the camp. I was told it was small and there wasn't going to be much to do but when all there was was one building only the size 1 1/2 of my house and a baseball field outside my jaw dropped. After we all got settled in and found places to sleep we had the first afterglow. Brent told us to that we needed to get right with each other if there was anything we had against anyone in the group and to prepare our hearts for the Holy Spirit to come over the weekend. It was pretty cool to see people getting right with each other and with God. After that we pretty much all went to bed.

Saturday morning we had our walk with God and then our morning lesson. During our walk with God we had a sheet of paper with some questions and verses on it that we were to answer and go over during the lesson. All weekend Jimmy Kotow (the speaker) spoke on the Holy Spirit and told us many things about the Holy Spirit that we didn't even know. Then Brent split us up into buzz groups. I was the leader of my buzz group and in my group I had Alysha, June, Rachel, Jeremiah, and Seth. We discussed things about the lesson and the Holy Spirit. Then after all the groups were done we all came back together and shared what we had discussed in our groups. If we had any questions, Jimmy Kotow would answer them. During free time Dave and Parker showed up and stayed for most of the day. After free time was over we had stunt night and then the drama group (Which I was in) preformed for the first time in front of an audience "Everything". It went well. Then we had afterglow and it was awesome! People were healed and touched by the Spirit. It was really good. That night when everyone went to bed I pretty much just stayed up with the adults and watched them play cards and talk.

The next day was pretty close to the same thing but without the stunt night. And, oh, my mom came as well as David this time. At the afterglow, Jimmy Kotow asked for those who wanted a touch from God & everyone went up. Then he asked who wanted to be saved, 4 people prayer for salvation. Then he had the people who wanted to make a stand, to dedicate their lives to God, and to being used by God to come up. I was surprised at how many people came up for each. It was really cool. Later that night we played Jail Break in the dark but it got boring so I kind of quit. I went and sat in on a group discussion Casey was having, which was pretty cool. I got to see what they thought about some things in the Bible and church and what I thought about the situation. Then after that I basically called it a night.

Monday we all shared what we thought about the weekend and what we liked about it. and then it was pack up and clean up time. When we were done packing, we played some volleyball during the time we had left before we had to go. Then Rusty showed up and we headed home. Over all it was a good weekend and I can't wait till next camp. Here are some pictures my mom and brother took over the weekend.

Mother's Day and the week

Well last week Alyssa and Kia came over for the week because their parents were out of town. I wasn't really home much this week but here are some pictures of what we did when I was around.

Kia decided to cover me in pillows every morning

Kia wanted to join me for school. or something like that.

Yet another attack of the pillows. Yeah I'm in there.

This was the only picture we got of Alyssa.

And that's about all we have from that. It was fun I guess. and they left on Thursday.
And today was Mothers Day. At church the mothers all went to the front and all the youth got their gifts and took them up to the mothers. They all got a mug and a book to go with it. Then after church we went home and had the greatest dinner. We had steak, French bread that my dad made, and salad. And cake for dessert. Then basically the rest of the day I slept. So thats whats been going on around here.

I just wanted to let you all know that i haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I am still here. There just hasn't really been that much going on to post about. I'm working on a post about our late Easter but i need to get into my mothers screen to get the pictures I am trying to post. so when i can I'll post about that. That's about all, I just wanted to let you all know that that is why i haven't been posting lately.
