Bike Race

I completed my very first bike race! It was a ton of fun. I did not place but I did not finish last either! It was a great experience for me and I learned alot.

She's back and she's sick!... again!... Romania to look forward to!

Well, I am back from Hume and had a great week with the 6th grade girls! Just as KJ said, I am pretty wiped... after a grueling schedule of night games, and camp-wide hide and seek, offlong (where the kids get smacked with sock filled tube socks by their counselors), and milk shakes and french fries, and well, you get the point.... We had a lot of fun, but the best part was seeing God moving in the students' lives. A few took a bold step and accepted Christ for the first time. Praise God. Several re-dedicated their lives to Christ after realizing that they were walking away from Him. All-in-all it was a great week, and I am already looking forward to next year!

Yes, I am sick again! Goodness! Just when I thought I was in the clear! I went to the doc to rule out swine fever, and NO, I do not have it! ( Grandma should be at ease).  It is a simple case of the good 'ole influenza, and I will be just fine.... in a week or so.

As the reality of my mission trip to Romania gets closer, the team has been meeting to grow together and to prepare for our ministry overseas. We will be serving orphaned children in Romania and serving our God in whatever way He has prepared for us! We are growing more and more excited as we plan our activities and skits that we will be doing with the children. We have several upcoming events that will help us get to Romania financially! We are selling more cinnamon rolls (buy some, they are yummy yummy!) and a car wash this Saturday at Laurelglenn Bible Church. However, we are still in need of financial support! Please pray that our finances will come through and for God to bless our team and our trip!

 

Em at Hume Lake & KJ's First Race

This past week Emilee went to Hume Lake with the 6th graders from Heritage Christian Academy, which is the school she works for. She had a good time but is definitely tired from staying up late and running around with a ton of 6th grade girls! Em and I got to talk everyday for literally two minutes. She forgot a calling card and had to use change every single time she called me. So we got cut off after two minutes of talking hahaha Today, I was able to talk to her for thirty minutes! She said she had a good time this past week but is pretty tired.
For those of you who do not know, I bought a road bicycle and have begun riding. It's the type of bike that has the really skinny tires with the curled handlebars. Well tonight there is a race in Bakersfield that I have entered. It is my very first race! There are 68 spots open for this race and I have heard that all of those spots should fill up. I do not necessarily plan on placing I just want to finish the race and finish it in one piece! It will be a good opportunity for me to get my foot into the competitive side of road bikes!
