The Past Few Weeks

These are the baby sisters.


Be afraid be very afraid.















They don't look so afraid














SO we had a fun night babysitting Elise and Nathaniel.

The Boys dressed up like Pirates and the girls were the Pirates Booty. (Booty is non your rear end) We were captured by the pirates. We had a blast while the parents were away.

A lot has happened since last we blogged. Joel and I did weekend duty two weekends ago. Which means you work all weekend so that you can cook and clean for the crew. You get days off for the work you do. Joel and I kept the days off so that the next weekend we could go with our Church's youth group to Galveston. The only probably is that the Monday after weekend duty Joel got his wisdom tooth out. So Joel wasn't able to work all week and was not able to attend the conference. But I had a blast with the kids. 19 teens went and 6 adults.

The speaker was awesome and the musical worship was off the hook. (Off the hook means it was awesome) There was about 10 other youth groups that came. On Saturday we had a ton of time to do what we wanted so I took a bunch of the kids down to the pool of our hotel and a group of us spent all afternoon swimming in the pool with beautiful weather. We stayed at the Hitlon on the seawall of Galveston. A uptown Hotel. I felt like a princess in a castle, it was wonderful.

At the end of the weekend the youth or adults could be baptised. There was only two that wanted to baptised which were from our Church. Brandy and Megan were batpised. It was amazing to be apart of that. I had such a blast at the confrence and I fell totally in love with the teens. There were times I wanted to beat them down but 99 percent of it I loved them to death. It was off the hook and it showed me a lot about myself and about how teens aren't as bad as I remember them. When I was a teen I was a punk and didn't want anything to do with God. These kids totally showed me the opposite. Yeah they had their ear stuck to a cell phone for a lot of the time and they hated turning them off their cell phones each service (we had 4 different services) But they totally had a willing and open heart toward the gospel which is so much more than I had as a teen.

I was also nicked name the chaperone of chaperones. There was one chaperone that I became close friends with that would turn on his cell phone during the services. So I kept him in line and gave him the evil eye. Yeah it worked, he didn't turn on his cell phone during the services for the rest of the time. He was like "What. They need to do what I say not what I do" So he made fun of me the rest of the time and called me Mother Teresa.

All in all it was fabulous and I totaly saw God through the whole thing. The best part of all was that I got to love on the kids like no other which is my favorite thing to do in the whole world. Love love love.

Well that is about it. I love ya'll

Oh I almost forgot 20 more days until Joel and I head north to see our families. We can't wait. We are so excited.

WE love you Butlers and Wendles. We'll see you soon.
Check ya'll later!!!
