You Can Be A...World Changer!

This is a post about World Changers. Ah, I really do miss it. I miss the horrible food, the mountains, the weather, the rain, the school, the showers that had trash bags as curtains. Actually, I don't miss the showers..I love having my stripe shower curtain. :) I miss sleeping on a sir mattress, and the worship services.

My crew..I really miss these people. They were awesome. They came from all over this side of the US. There were some from Virginia, Tennessee, and Ohio. We all got along great...except for the first day I met them, I thought they were annoying. Yet, in the long run..I became very good friends with them all and we all cried when we left.

Every Wednesday, we have a half-day. That means we work till about 1 and come back to our lodging area. The church groups go off and have a fun filled day. Well my youth group, went to the mall...it was HUGE!!..like 3 stories! Then we went to Outback or Chilli's. The people at Outback almost had a heart attack when I told them we had a party of 40! Then we went to a baseball game...Appalachian Power. I must say I had a lot of fun. I got chosen to perform the YMCA with a couple of teenagers, we made human subway sandwiches. Except for the baseball team was horrible. I think our little league all star team could have done better...they are going to the Little League World Series. I got in trouble for yelling at the other team... :) And I'm pretty sure our youth pastor is deaf, because every time the ball was hit in our direction all the girls screamed...later on this team hit a LITTLE boy in the SHOULDER!!

World Changers was great. You really grow spiritually and you really do realize how blessed you really are. At the end of the week 6 people were saved. One student (a youth), some homeowners, and even people down the street. During this week, me and Anna Kathryn (the other girl in this picture), witnessed to someone who excepted Christ. It's amazing to see how God can use you. I can't wait till next year. I'm hoping we go to Middle America. However, it doesn't matter where God ends up taking us, our work as Christian is never done.

Never Be Ready...

The beach was great...of course, you can read about the main points of the trip at my moms blog. :) I'll post about it later.

So today I went to cross country for the second time. We ran 5 miles. Yes, I thought I was gonna die. When I showed up however, I was the only girl and those 3 dudes there, were hardcore athletes...oh boy! Or oh boys!! Well of course, I got left behind, cause well, my jog compared to their jog is hugely different. Well I was the last one done...and that was because well...I got lost.

Yes, I took the wrong path. My coach ended up finding me and I was in tears...I thought I was a goner...I knew I would get back to civilization. I just didn't know when.

So, I completely embarrassed myself.. First off, for getting lost, and not being able to keep up with the guys. Ive always been the best at what I do...so this is different. On the plus side, whenever the guys did pass me the gave me a high-five and told me I could do. Well, I did..I just did it wrong. :)

I cant wait till Charleston with Brianna (from Learning to Breathe). :) Oh and pray that her misson trip to IL will go great and that they will be able to witness.

Cooked Bacon...

We leave for the beach Saturday. :) I'm excited...and ready to be there...except, my room isn't clean and I have not packed. The beach is always fun. My best friend always comes with me and we always have the same room assignments. We always get McDonalds on the way up and she takes 2 hours to eat. ")

Last year, we went bike riding on the beach and got lost. I got chased by big dogs..scary! Later, we find out that every path leads to the main road. We had planned on seeing the sun rise, and we finally did on our last day. We went to Salty Dog and had virgin Pina Caladas.

However, last year, I was forbidden to do anything fun. Not because I was in trouble but because 3 months ago from then I had my knee surgery. I couldn't surf :( or tumble :( or even JUMP WAVES!! I know you think my summer was horrible. Well it wasn't. I just had tons of restrictions.

Well this summer, I can surf, tumble, jump waves, run, climb a ladder, play soccer. I have NO limitations. I can't wait!!

Today is my brothers girlfriends birthday! She is finally 19! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

"WELCOME TO MOE'S!!"

I went to Moe's yesterday for the very first time yesterday. Brianna (from Learning to Breathe), her little brother, Christian, my mommy, my older brother and his girlfriend came along, because me and Brianna couldn't get there without my wonderful mother. :)

I had a lot of fun. Brianna is really cool and her little brother is the best rain dancer. He is too cute! He informed me about every Marvel superhero and the Transformer movies. What a hoot.

I also had to renew my permit yesterday...sad i know. :( Sadly, tomorrow is my last day at the hospital because next week I'll be at the beach. However, I applied for the TeenBoard, so hopefully I will get on it and can go everyday after school. :)

Now, off to wash clothes to the beach...well if I can get off my lazy butt.
