My First Missions Trip (Part 2)

Day 2.. We went to Cholula, where there is a church on a hill and the pyramids right below it..

This is a small "Italian Coffee Company" where I planned on having my coffees and morning breakfast... :) a cute placeright across from the Cathedral. Beautiful at night!


More buildings.. Through the windows, I could see GORGEOUS chandeliers and beautiful furniture... I was in awe... Seriously lol

Me, Brittany & Karoline :) waiting to get on the bus

You can see where we are headed...

Gary & I sitting on the ledge lol
Yeaaaaa, tried not to fall over the edge!

The steep climb.. You coud either go up a ramp or take stairs
Stairs were the WORST!

The next climb was pretty steep
Needless to say, I ran up these LOL

The view from the top of the stairs

Karoline!

Part of the group :) I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know every one on this trip


So... I'm adventurous.. I went around the gate to the edge of another building..

Cool picture though, right? ;) Lol

Another adventurous one (Gary)


And another (Jacob) lol

Well, this is an Insane Asylum right down the hill.
We could see the people

We can never take too many pictures :) SMILE!

Inside the church


You weren't considered a "missionary" until you ate a cricket
They tasted like pumpkin seeds...
We even had them for dessert later this night LOL
I'm not joking people :)

One picture of the pyramids on the other side of the hill :)

I think this picture captured everyone on our missions trip:)

Bus ride back to the hotel! Choir practice on full stomachs lol!





And here, we ended our night with choir practice
(well, in pictures at least lol the fun kept going & going all night)



Stay tuned for more pictures!

Bible Quizzer

Umm.... I had no idea what I was getting myself into lol! This is my first year of Bible Quizzing and man! I love it!!!!! :D I can't wait to go to the competitions!! :D We have to learn over 400 verses but as Bro. Vick & Brendan said "Don't look at the numbers." It's easier when you don't look at numbers and you just memorize and go over them everyday!!! I'm so excited!!! It has motivated me to get done with schoolwork lol. I hope we have a good (NOOO, a GREAT!) team so we can go to more competitions. :) Fun & traveling! Which teams do you know that are awesome Bible Quizzers?? Do you have any tips for a first time BQ??? :)

Coincidence? I think not.

There came a time in my life where I needed to get out from being under the spotlight...  To get away for awhile.  To be alone. To deal with things in my life. And now I'm here :) writing...  I  am currently attending North-West College to become a Pharmacy Technician.  (I also work here during the day) A fellow pharmacy student was talking to me before class... She poured her heart out to me. She was crying-tears rolling down her cheeks. She was hurting. She was contemplating taking drugs again. She was losing her faith in God. And there I was.. A child of God Filled with the Holy Ghost Having peace in my life  Knowing that God hears me We cried together. The people that surround us need to hear encouragement and love from God's people. They need the opportunity to walk into a church that preaches truth, that has life! They need to see God through you!  Don't be afraid to cry with them. God put you with them at that moment... God knew they needed you ...

A Special Touch From Heaven

For many many months, I wasn't feeling well. It was like I had something stuck inside of me that pushed everything about me (bubbly personality, a little ball of joy, Miss Sunshine, full of energy) into a little ball and filled the rest of the space with emptiness [cold]. It has definitely not been the best part of my life, for sure. It's one of those trials where you just want to go back to the year before lol. I'm telling you, I was the total opposite of who I really am. Oh my, talk about craziness. I started to get really sad, kept to myself a lot, and ZERO energy.. Ahhhh it was all bad!! If you think that I am wallowing around in this pile of mud (not wanting to get out), think again! I've been pushing myself harder to get back to my old self. I've been getting into the Word, praying, keeping in contact with friends/etc. For 3 weeks (up until a week ago), I slept almost ALL day. Not kidding. I told you, NO ENERGY. I didn't want to do anything. No piano, no...
