SUPER AGUA FIN DE SEMANA!/Super Water Weekend!



Whew! I am water logged. (Not real sure if that is really a word or not, but my mom says it all the time when she has been in the water for too long!) Anyways, man I get side-tracked really fast, ok, um...so this weekend was a blast. I was asked to work with the youth pastors, Jacob & Amanda Noel (MA's from Louisiana) to help with their youth camp. So on Friday evening I loaded up Big Red (that is my 4runner...pics to come soon) with 9 yes 9 students to head out to the camp.
This is how we "roll" in E.S. 
10 people in a 5 passenger vehicle!
Thank you Lord for your protection.
So we had like 30 people ready to learn about the refreshing waters from the Lord. We had a flag competition complete with a team name and of course a mighty chant! This whole weekend the teams would rack up points to win.........cookies! (It's the small things in life!)
The Making of the Flags

We then had our Friday night service where Josh Sears brought the word. The 3 messages this weekend were #1. Knocking on the door of righteousness. #2. Knocking on the door of bitterness. #3. Knocking on the door of someone else's heart. So the service went great and the youth slept good. This morning we woke up early and had breakfast and small groups with our teams. We used follow up questions from the service last night. After small groups we loaded up again and headed to a water-park! We had a blast. Check out some pics!

We had an excellent time here at the water-park. After many wonderful hours we returned home and had a scavenger hunt.....in the rain...and thunder....and with thunder comes.......yep......lightning! I was so thrilled to be out there! We then had an incredible service. The Spirit really moved and many burdens were lifted off these youth. It was awesome.

It was a great weekend and we have one more day left. Thank you for your prayers and support, lives are being changed.

A long time coming......

WHEW!  I know it has been forever since I have been on here, but, when you don't have good internet and time......well.....some things get pushed to the side. I hope to try and be more consistent now that I am somewhat settled! Well.....let me tell you a little about what has been going on. I live at the camp that we have here. It sits on a lake...and a volcano! I have hit the ground running here and I am loving it. I am still trying to learn about the ministry and to get to know everyone here and try to connect with the people. I have some awesome opportunities coming up so keep me in prayer. Last week we had several children's pastors from all over the states come in to do a Children's Workers Conference/Workshop. It was great. We had around 500 attendants from several countries here. I also had the opportunity to speak in the youth group. Yea so here is what I'm feeling now.....I have so much to say to catch up on that it is overwhelming. So...I think I will just start over.....maybe tomorrow.


WORD OF THE DAY: Quizas (key-sas) MAYBE
HOW I SEE IT: Yea...probably not going to happen!
