My Crazy "Vida"

Wow I haven’t written on here in forever….Ever since school got out its just been crazy. Ok I’d better pick up where I ended the last time. Well ok so it really, really stinks because we don’t get out of school until like the very end of June!!! So like they make graduating each grade extremely big where as in the states people don’t do really anything. So ALL of middle school, which were like 20 people, had to do a dance and it was not fun at all. We had to wear really short shorts and a vest and mine didn’t fit at all but yea it was interesting. During the last week of school the awesomest Muskogee peps I know came to Mexico for the second time. It was awesome. I had so much fun and God did great things that week. I can’t wait to see them again next year. So while they where there I got to play hooky a couple days which was AWESOME, but like I wasn’t missing anything because we had already finished all our work and were just watching movies and hanging out. The only reason we had to go was because the school district said we had to have so many days of school. Three days before school was out the awesomest people from Indiana came and had a great time I got to help them lay tile at this church and it was really cool. Once school got out I was only in Mexico for like 3 or 4 days then we where on our way to the USA! We drove to it took us like three days and 36 hours of driving and I was internally bored (LOL Monica)! When we got there we stayed in a house in the middle of no where that the amazing Chad and Janice let us barrow. It was such a blessing and so much fun. The house was really close to their two sandpits. One of them they use to get sand for concrete and the other one is just to have fun. We had a chance to go there a couple times and swim and we had a blast. I got to see tons of friends and family while I was there. We stopped by Tulsa for 3 days and I hung out with some of the girls that were in my class. I also got to see my Grandma Loretta and Grandpa Rodger in GB for a week and my Grandpa Gary and Grandma Treva in Lansing. It was so good to see everyone again. While I was in the US I got to go to the SALT YOUTH services in GB! I also got to go to the Antioch Conference in Kansas City with all the awesome people from GB. The conference was amazing. The presence of God was so there. We went to the mall and had tons of fun! I had the opportunity to speak at two churches. I spoke at the awesome Muskogee church. I stayed at Brandi’s house and we hung out and had an awesome time. After church that night we had a party at her house with all the people that came to Mexico. I also spoke to the youth group in GB, Kansas. They are awesome and it was really fun. I had so much fun in the states and it was great to hang out with all the awesome people. When we got back to Mexico, we saw how the church had grown so much. The last couple Sundays we have had to add basically all the chairs possible. School started about like 3 weeks ago and the first day I walked in to my classroom, which is like 7 feet from the gate to get in and totally separated from all the other middle school classrooms (yes I am in 9th grade which is of course usually highshool in the US but here 7th -9th grades are considered middle school or secondary), I looked at the lookers and notice there were only three the other two had the names of two other boy. This meant that I was the only girl in my class AHHHH!!! But school’s going good and the boys are pretty cool so its all good. Last weekend we started having two services because of growing so much I went really well and I’m really excited. God is doing amazing things in Mexico. I’m helping out a lot in children’s ministry and I am so enjoying it!
