Well hello to all everyone! Hope all is well with you! I miss you all!



Anyways....for all you out there who dont know....I am training for my summer missions positions with Kids Connection! We are a traveling team of four girls, going around and doing Vacation Bible Schools (VBS) and other various evangelistic activities with children! We have been pretty busy so far, just learning everything we will have to do this summer! Sunday, technically yesterday, we arrived to our first place of missions...Columbia! And actually in my previous blog i told you all my schedule....I also told you it was tentative and that it could change...and it did! LOL...I don't really know what changed...but they told us that our schedule was a little different now! I will post that one later!



Anyways...we have been staying at Camp La Vida for the past couple days so we could do our training, and there are other counselors for the camp doing training at the same time. I met some of the counselors of the all girls camp and they are awesome! I cant wait to hear later what all God has done at this Camp.



During our training this week we have had various people come and teach us things we will need to know on our missions trip...so we had this cute little old couple who came in and taught us plate spinning, balloon making, face painting, rope tricks, etc.! They were sooo funny and they were like the cutest little old people I have ever seen! LOL...but it is cool to see how they have just do what God wanted them to do, and keep on doing it even with their old factor. I just hope that i am the same way when i get old! They actually told us that they had 2 houses in...Costa Rica I think it was...and they used those houses for missionaries that would come from all over! It was really cool b/c they said that they sold one of the houses and are in the process of selling the other one...but they sold it to people who would continue to let missionaries come and use it! They are such amazing servants of God!



Also...we had to put together a small childrens bible story for yesterday's church service and my teammates and I did it on having a solid rock foundation on God! This story in Mathew Ch.7 tells about story, told by Jesus, about 2 different men who built houses. One man built his house on sand and the other man built his on a solid rock foundation. The story goes on to say that when a huge storm came it washed away the house built on sand...but the house on the rock stayed strong! This story is supposed to represent our lives. It means when the storms of life start to beat down on you, will you be weakened and fall or will you hold on to Jesus with all your might and stand strong? What are you building your house on? rock or sand?



So...anyways...I have to go to bed now! We start our first project tomorrow morning at a trailer park! I am so excited! But we will be really busy so just keep praying for our kids connection group! We will need a lot of prayer power and help from God to make it through this HOT and active summer!

Thanks! Love to all!
