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!!!

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

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 :)

Our first night, it rained :) It was Heaven for me!

Glad you got to go. I went on two missions trips as a young person and I've never forgotten. Life changing moments.

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...
