Weekend Recap

On Friday was the missionary dinner and first day of the conference at church. It was nice to see some of the missionarys that our church has been praying for in person. Then on Friday, one of the missionary families came and spent time with us teens. We played a lot of new, cool games and heard their testimonies. The games were Portugese and they gave us a whole bunch of ideas for new games that we could play during youth night. Then today, Sunday, another missionary came into the sunday school room and gave us a really good lesson. During the morning service, one of the missionarys played her flute. Wow, she was really good! After church i went with the Adams to wendy's for lunch along with a whole bunch of other people from our church. Then, i went back to their house and me and kristen went running around her neighborhood. whew, that was pretty challenging because i'm so used to running on a flat track, not HILLS (and I emphasize hills) lol :) -it was fun to talk with her and get some pointers on running. I spent some time with them at their house before going to church for choir practice and nursery. After the service, my mom and dad took all of us and one of the missionary familes out to icecream at Stricklands. I learned a lot from them and was even asked about going on a missions trip to Portugal over the summer. That would be a lot of fun.

---And that's my weekend. It was pretty jam-packed with activities and was a lot of fun. And now, at 9:50 at night on Sunday evening, all I can do is think about what a great time I will have in school this week (and not to mention how lucky I am that this is the week for me to do dishes. I can't contain the happiness!..) But, instead of having a bad attitiude, I should be joyful in all I do, even though it's gonna be reeeeeeeally hard. But, God will help me :0)
