Well here I am, finally. I now have time to blog. My life has gotten so, so, so busy these last few weeks. First AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......Tornado. We had on right over our house. We are extremely lucky to still have a house, considering. We had about 12,000 dollars worth of damage to our property, mostly trees. We did have a lot of roof damage and we had to get a new one. On Friday our family had a work project at our house. We had about 60 people from our church volunteer to help us clean up or our property. So we did that, it was a lot of fun. They just finished doing the final touches on our roof this morning. Thank's to all the people's help on Friday our roof crew was able to finish it that night instead of on Sat. But this morning they came back to double check and fix something. Then we had our Arkansas trip. That was a ton of fun. We were up there for three days. We spent 2 nights in a church, and 1 in hotel, and then 2 nights at a resort in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. We had 6 salvations in Arkansas. One little girl named Kaitlyn in my group accepted Christ for the first time, it was so cool. The picture up top is of our Arkansas group. They are a very fun bunch of people. I got to live with them for a week, cool. But Brandon, says that once you live with these people for a while you can't wait to get away from them. But that's not true. We had so much fun. We floated the Illinois River ( I hope I spelled that right) for 12 miles. We had 23 people, and 5 rafts. Our raft was blue, and the last one. We had Nathan, Morgan, Rachel, Lauren, and I in our raft. Everybody else's rafts were red, so our's was special. We backpaddled a lot to stay behind everybody else's rafts, cause our's was soposto be in the back, at all times. So we did that, and I got a bad sunburn. Then we played countless games of volleyball, and I played every one. It was so fun. Now i'm home ann we did the work projects. I have a temperary job working at City Hall (so I can earn 150$ for IMC Camp) and i'm doing school like crazy. So i've been doing that and now it's time for me to go. So i'm going to go home and attempt to call Gege, and do school.
Bye,
LaRie
