well i just got back from districts. it was wonderful. friday night started with a session of worship lead by steve fee and bill allison as speaker. then it was to the ramada for "hang out time" which for me meant swimming and water sliding. fun fun fun.
saturday morning we went to some pancake feed. that was good. i like pancakes. then kent and i had to go to sams club to get video tapes and we also got candy for shane cause it was his 30th birthday. we got him lots of candy. then it was another session with steve and bill. lunch time. i was not a big fan of the sandwiches but i was a big fan of the 4 capri sunds i got.
then it was break out session #1. i went to MALES VS. MEN lead by brandon somebody. that was a good one. at the start brandon asked for someone who thought they were more manly than shane. i got volunteered by ben so i had to go up. it was a indian legwrestling contest. i took shane out no problem. then brandon called kent up and i was a little scared because i didn't want to lose my undefeated-ness. (thats not a real word for those of you wondering) but after kent and i finally hooked legs. (it took a little sork we are not thme most flexible people ever.) i beat him pretty quick. yay for me.
next break out i went to the power of sharing your story lead by bill. he talked to us a little about what we should include in our story and things like that. he showed a video of a 6 year old named austen who told his friend who he played in the backyard with that she needed to accept jesus. it was a really sweet testimony. then we paired up and shared our testimony, then each pair paired with another pair to make a group of four and we shared our testimonies and then earch group of four melded with another to make a group of eight and we shared our testimonies. the kid i paired with was named cody and he was brought to districts by a friend and he didn't sound like he was a christian but then after hearing others tell there testimonies he added some stuff to his so i am not sure but we talked with him about accepting jesus and what that mean and told him he should talk with his youth leader about it more. so pray for cody. i am not sure what happened with him or anything but just pray.
for supper on saturday we went to space aliens. that was some good food. another session with steve and bill followed that then back to the hotel for some games some swimming some pizza some everything else. yeah good times. this morning we got up and had breakfast then went to bethel and had our sunday session worship this time was lead by the prism band cause steve and his guys had to leave so.
it is wierd to think that i might not see lots of those people ever again. it was my last districts and some of the seniors are not coming to camp this summer so who know when i will see them next? wierd to think about.
when i first wrote this out it was one paragraph. i thought maybe you would like some more organization so i went back and put in returns. aren;t you glad...

Good that you had a good time. I know what it is like being a senior and not getting to see people again for a long time. You get over it after a while so don't worry about it too much. In fact, don't worry about it at all.
ReplyDeleteyou know---we'll see eachother again for sure in Heaven. So it's alright. I knowwhat you mean about the senior deal. It's awesome. It's funny because I was asking Jared about how old you were.. because I honsetly to goodness thought you're 20 or something. Jared was like, nope... he's 18... senior. I tripped on the stairs to the waterslide in disbelief. you fool me, thomas!
ReplyDeletei was gonna say what chels did. there's heaven. thats so weird i always thought you were older too! odd. i never went swimming. it didnt interest me. good thing it didnt interest the people i hung out with either. i think kent might be the guy that made everyone go to bed sat. night when he had no right to! all of our leaders told us we could stay out later and the hotel said until like 2 and what is he our dad? gee whiz. it was like 12:30. i was like ok last night paleeez. the session lasted longer and plus we lost an hour so it stunk. shane stacy has been my hero since winter camp. i love him. we have an awesome handshake and he gave me a shoe wedgie that silly guy. dont ask. ill pray for cody. thats cool. i told someone how to become a christian when i got home. he thought he was one because he grew up in a christian family and went to church. this is long. bye.
ReplyDeleteWow that sounds like it is an incredible time. I must confess that I didn't read it all though.
ReplyDeleteYes is was really nice of you to split it into paragraphs otherwise well it was just nice! Sounds like a fun weekend! Andy
