here it is...

i know at the end of my last post i promised to update with info from the trip and i'm sorry i haven't. since we've been back we've been a little busy with normal schedule stuff and our harvest party and some minor traveling to upper NH and then this coming weekend we're going to VT. at the church we're gearing up for our Christmas services entitled "Imagine Christmas." it's going to be awesome! i'm running the spotlight which i'm so excited to do.

two weeks ago i got a sticker on my scripture test which means i got 100%!!! it was my first one. this past week i didnt pass so yesterday i had to stay after church and retake my test @ 1p and then study til 5p. that study time helped so i could get my SAGU work done and now any study time i have this week will go toward scriptures and my sermon...i'm preaching youth this week ;) last time i preached youth i didn't think it was that good but Edgar said it was my best one yet. Edgar is in my preaching group with 3 other people. We preach in front of each other each week along with a 3rd year who listens to all the sermons for a specific topic. There's youth, topical, expository, practical, and teaching.

this week we have off tuesday and a late in on wednesday. thursday is a regular day but some of us are leaving around noon to head up to N. Conway for women's convention. we're "working" the convention and doing dance and drama. i am REALLY looking forward to this weekend and what the rest of the weeks ahead have in store for me. i love where im @ right now and wouldnt trade it for anything! ;)

i love you all & to all my people back in PA...i REALLY miss you guys! my phone is always on...dont forget it! :)

Made it home!

we made it home last night @ about 830p. i slept in today until 1247p....thats more than 12 hours of sleep! i cant believe i slept that long. we have off 2day obviously but it will be used to do laundry...and lots of it! :) i don't have enough patience to sit and tell you guys everything that happened betweent GA and AL but just know that it was amazing and God is definitely more awesome each and every day.

I must say its nice to be home but i do already miss our GA and AL families! :) we start a busy month 2morow. i will update with bits and pieces from the trip as the week goes on...promise! ;)

WE MADE IT!

we made it to Georgia today. we left the church on Thursday afternoon @ 1230p...we arrived @ the house we're staying @ around 1215p today. the bus ride was awesome! we preached and took our scripture tests on the bus which was a "different" experience but its all good. i'm pretty confident this week about my scriptures; which is a plus from the past 2 weeks.

we are staying @ Rory & Michelle's house tonight and then we are going somewhere else to stay for the rest of the week. Michelle is Mrs. Patty's sister and Rory is her husband, he leads worship @ Free Chapel...they live in Gainesville, GA! :)

Anywayz, im just poppin in to say that we made it...i will try to continue updating throughout the week but im not sure if i'll get service everywhere we go. i forgot my camera so pix will not be available from me for this trip ;( last night on the bus i got a total of 4.5 hrs of sleep. i ended up with a bruise on the side of my left leg from the booth bin that my leg was resting against while i "slept."

God moved on that bus last night after we finished our scriptures and we all got something out of it. I am majorly excited for this trip and everything that God is going to do with/through and in us. This is only the beginning.

love you all
