My First Missions Trip

It's been a week since I have came back from my FIRST missions trip!!! And I haven't posted about it yet! *shocked face* Lol..

Well everyone, I went to Puebla, Mexico.. Yes, Mexico :)

It worked out that I could go.. I didn't have to work very hard to raise the $700-800 because it was almost all donated/sponsored!!! I am SO THANKFUL!!!!! They know who they are and I am SO SO SO VERY GLAD!

Here are a few pictures to start :)


Okay so how about this.. This will be part 1, including the first day or two! Then more posts will come!



Here are the 4 of us who went from my church in Ontario, California.
My Pastor's wife (Sis. Clark), Steven, me, & Breana


I'm overly excited in this picture! My heart was so full!!!

This 13 year old beauty is Sofia :) new friend of mine!


Sis. White & Sis. Clark are best friends!
 It was only fitting that they went on this trip together!


Taking the bus to the hotel in Puebla

Walking to the center :) First adventures underway!




First stop is a bite to eat! Tacqueria de Los Angeles!
Best food, ate there all the time.. The horchata was the best I've ever tasted!


Next was the Cathedral :)



And here begins our first night out!



Our first night, it rained :) It was Heaven for me!
I love wet, rainy, cold weather!

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??? :)

Courage in the Altar

It takes courage to walk to the altar (a lot of the time). Especially when you are struggling and going through trials. Most of us feel embarrassed or have too much pride to cry in the altar, shout, or dance in the Spirit. It really does amaze me.. It's like we are intimidated by other women/men.. Have you ever noticed it? Courage: " have the courage of one's convictions, to  act   in accordance with one's beliefs, especially in spite of criticism." (dictionary.com) I've heard plenty of people say, "The day so&so shouts and runs the aisles is when I'll do it." I REALLY don't get it! Do these people not have the revelation of worship, praise, and not to care what others are going to think about them?? Sometimes, worship is a life or death situation. :/ Seriously. You won't give God 100% of your praise... You're holding back.. You won't let loose. The saints of God get victory through prayer and worship.
