VBS prep

Woo Hoo! we start VBS bright and early tomorrow morning! So tonight instead of having the Edge youth group like usual are gonna set up VBS decorations...so it should be fun and hopefully this time I won't be covered in paint...lol

Church this morning was good. Pastor said that 4 people came to Christ...

right now I am hanging out until we leave to go do the prepping stuff... and I am eating goldfish...
yummm....
All the other missionaries got back today from kids camp and they are beat! they are so tired! and yet they don't get much of a break with VBS coming...

last night I had the weirdest dream... I was at a football game, & I saw Andrew sitting in the stand across the feild on the other side...so naturally I wanted to go see him....so when I went to go around This HUGE glacier appears...and I have to climb to the top of this glacier to get to him...well I'm terrified of heights so I was really scared too...and I get to the tippy top and it's like extra icey up there or something...and so I had to make a decision wether or not to climb it and take a risk or if i should just turn around and go back to my seat...and so yeah...I woke up before I made that decision....it was a very strange dream....i mean a glacier at a football game? that's just craziness....

well anyways...i love yall n miss yall

miss ya andrew

Watching Emperor's New Groove...

Don't know if I spelt that right lol...

well today was pretty laid back compared to this last week.
On saturday i left for 1st and 2nd grade camp that lasted till sunday. Then from sunday till wednesday I was with Casey, Kamber, Amanda, Kristin, & Chase for youth camp...which was awesome!
We had 6 youth come to Christ! it was just so awesome to be there to witness that!
The messages that were preached were amazing very deep and just straight up with the truth. Nothing was surgar coated and the youth were really woken up...All us missionaries were too. Just really awesome!
Tomorrow is our day off so I am def. looking forward to sleeping in...i have been up between 7 - 7:15 am every morning since sunday...i know i know...poor me lol...but i am super pumped about sleeping in!
Oh and we had our girls group today and it went REALLY well...like the best Bella group we've had from this summer &&&& last summer...the girls were still fired up from camp and we got a lot accomplished today... and the girls were really receptive and responsive...so camp was sort of like an ice breaker for our relationships!
Oh and for our adults group bible study, Upper room, we decided to go through the book of James so I am pumped about that! & then the pastor from church camp is doing a study on Nehamiah (spelt that wrong i know lol) and he'll be doing it on a blog so i'm pretty pumped about that. I REALLY enjoyed his messages at camp so i'm excited about starting the study...

but anyways...that's all i can really think of right now...
catch up with yall soon!
Love and miss yall
Love you Andrew :)

Yosemite Bound :)





WOO we get to go back to Yosemite Tomorrow, and I have heard that the water is REALLY flowing over there so we should see some good stuff :) and yes I will be taking a bunch of pics :) and will post them as soon as I can :)
Today was a good day.We got and prayer walked at 8 -9 and then we had out staff devotionals, and then me casey and pastor sean worked on things for kids camp this weekend up at Jenness. and then we all worked on our Bella group message then after bella we just came back to the pastors house to chill-lax and get things somewhat together for Yosemite tomorrow...
For the Bella group we are reading the book crazy love, and just WOW! like it really makes you think about how BIG God really is...and just goes in depth to his character...and all you can really do or say after reading just the first chapter is well...your just sort of speechless... you just sort of stand there in awe of him...and you think of how beautiful, creative, and powerful , can compassionate, and just amazing He is!...i highly suggest reading it...totally amazing!
anyways...today was a good day, and I already know tomorrow will be too :) :) :)
so lucky to be here again!

Love yall & miss yall!
Love you more n more Andrew :) see you soon!
