Ok so wow so much has gone on this past week and a half or so. To start off with, on the 9th I went to a youth conference here in the town in which I live. It lasted until that Saturday. It was crazy. They believe in getting "drunk in the spirit" which is when you are filled with so much joy knowing you have Jesus that you start laughing in hysteria. To be honest I don't really beleive in that because it is no where in the Bible and so if it isn't then that means that it is not necessarily true. But the worship was awesome! The guitarist John Paul (it was spelled differently because he is spanish.(from Spain stare ) was so wicked awesome! He played so crazily and did all these way cool distortions and things like that. Then he played a violin in one song and took the bow on a part and hit the guitar strings with it! It sounded way way cool! But yea that weekend was pretty cool even though I got barely any sleep.

Then on Sunday I got up at 5:30 because we had to leave by 7am to go to the state up north of me. We drove for about 2 hours to a church up there where my old neighbors go to now. I have known them almost all my life. The oldest Jordan he is the same age as me and I was in the same class as him for a couple of years and then his younger sister Maddy is now in 6th grade. So after the church service who ever was going to the camp got on one of three buses and we rode for about 4-4 and a half hours to the camp. My butt was so sore by the time we got there. Maddy requested that I be in the same cabin as her so I got stuck in a Cabin with all little immature 6th graders. But it was still pretty cool. I will talk more about the people I met later. So on the first night the girls kept me awake until about 1am-ish and lights out was at 11. And then aour cabin counsiler Katie woke us up at 4 am! gonk scream evil but once we got out to this field we found out what we were up that early for. But when we were waiting we got to see so many stars and shooting stars and metiors! It was so amazing. Then with our cabin group we went on a hike down a trail down a big hill or small mountain????? No I think it was more of a big big hill sweatdrop . Well on the way down we answered different question about our relationship with God and by that we got to know each other more and got closer. When we got all the way down we ended up on a jetty. It was still dark but then we started a worship service. While we we worshipping we got to see the sunrise and it was so powerful knowing God had created that and everything. So we got to go back to our cabins at about 6 30 and got up again at 9am

We had a service every morning and night. Before the morning we had breakfast and personal devotions. Then we had the morning service. In the service we had worship and then a message from a big time speaker like Asim Trent or Lisa Trent. And then a lot of times there would be alter calls and the most powerful prayer. After that we would yes go to lunch and after that have free time. If you wanted to pay you could go horse riding or do a high ropes course or do a zip line if you didnt want to pay you could go swimming play sports or just hang out. I usually played soccer or just hung out. Then we would have an organized games. The teens were split into four teams. Red, Green, Yellow, and Blue. I was on the Red team and each team had to come up with a cheer and ours was the best! But there were different games like a food fight, a fuse ball game but with real people, a slip and slide relay, a huge relay where there were different stages we had to complete. And things like that. So the order of winners were in 1st place was green team and by 500 points red came in 2nd. then with over a 1,000 points behind yellow and with over 2,000 points blue.

So the friends well there was the girls in the cabin they were pretty cool. And then the 7th grade girl cabin they were also pretty cool. Then I made a couple of other friends. Two girls who are sister. I played soccer with them and they are in highschool. Jordan's cousin who is two years older but I already knoew him previously. then there was this other guy. He was so so so nice! He is the same age as me and is tall muscular and has black hair. He loves and like a lot of the same things as me. He always wore black and dark colors like me and it was kind of weird when you aren't use to it but he had black eye liner on. It actually didn't look bad on him. People some times thinks he's gay because he slightly slurs his s's and th's so he talks a little funny.... a lisp that is what it is called. So yea. All the girls in 7th and 8th grade kept teasing us that we were bf and gf redface redface redface sweatdrop sweatdrop sweatdrop but we weren't. they thought that because we would always hang out and he would sit at the table us girls would sit at and even though he had lots of other friends he still sat with me redface redface redface at an all girls table! So yea he sort of acted like he like me. Everyone said so. But I don't know. I wouldn't mind having him as a bf. But that is just me redface . I think I will write more later.
