Hello, again

Hey

Sorry it`s been so long since I wrote last. My grampa, Brian, had a heart attack a couple of days ago so, it`s been crazy over here! He`s alot better, though. He`s going back home either today or tomorrow.

Well, this week we`re supposed to have the week off of school. But I don`t . I could if I wanted to but, I wanna work ahead so I don`t have to do school while Des is here. I just have to work ahead on math and reading so, it`s not that bad. I`m actually enjoying the book that I`m reading!!! I NEVER like books I have to read for school! This is a first. It`s called 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and it`s kinda interesting.
I can`t beleive I`m saying this but, I`m actually enjoying algebra, too! It`s not that bad. I think the worst part is at the beggining but, once you get the basics, it gets easier. Now, I`m actually enjoying it! I don`t exactly look forward to it but, I`m not crying when I have to do it. The only thing I don`t like about it is that it takes me an hour to do it. Oh well. I still like it!
Today, I think I might go to horse back riding with my mom and sister. I like to hang out there while my sister is riding horses. I`m not really in to riding horses. I like it alot but, I just like riding however I want and going really fast. My sister does English riding so, it`s more formal. That`s what I don`t like to do. My friend, Siana, usually is there to hang out with me, too but, she`s in Canada right now and I don`t know when she`ll be back. I think I`ll still go, though.
Well, I`m gonnah go. I`ll write later. Bye!

Good news!

A couple of days ago, I got the BEST news!!! My best friend DestiNae is coming to GUATEMALA!!!!!!! I`m sooo excited! She is coming October 31st and she will be with us for 15 days. After that, me and her will go up in the mountains to be a part of a missions trip. We`ll be with eachother for about three weeks!!! I was so excited when I heard she was coming that I screamed!!!
The team that is coming down on the missions trip will be building a church so, me and DestiNae`s job will be playing with the kids and keeping them out of the construction site. I`m really glad that we will be doing that because I love working with the guatemalan kids. I will also be translating for the team (which I LOVE doing!!!) so, It will be fun!
Anyways, just a little update on what`s going on here. I`ll post again soon!

Camp 2

Okay, I have finally found the time to finnish what I started.....about a month ago. I know, I know! But, everything has been sooooo crazy lately! I know, I`ve said thet SO many times as an excuse but, it`s true! Being missionaries in a foreign country isn`t allways restfull, ya know!

Anyways, I left of at super hero day, right??? So now, I`ll move on to team spirit day, which was probably my favorite (yes, that may have something to do with the fact that we won that day!). Us Purple People Eaters decided to dress up as Purple People Eaters! Haha! Aren`t we creative? Anyways, we got out the eyeliner, the gorilla snot (REALLY thick gel), the short shorts, the streamers, the purple hair spray, and we got to work. We used the eyeliner for (as you may have guessed) drawing our 'one eye' on top of our foreheads. We used the gel to make our hair stick up to make a 'horn'. In the end, we had to hold out horns up with our hands when we wanted them to stick up because, we found out thet it was IMPOSSIBLE (even after using half the container on one person and blowdrying it until it dryed up) for them to stay up by themselves! Anyways, you know how in the song (which was also part of our chant) they say, "We wear short shorts"? Well, we just HAD to wear short shorts, of course but, since we weren`t alowed to, we all weared them over our pants! We got extra points for creativity, though! Haha! Anyways, we used the streamers to make wings and we used the purple hair spray to dye our hair. Here`s the picture!
The top 3 from left to right are Christy, Kendra, and Kellie. The bottom 6 from left to right are Kayla, Katie, Valarie, Christy, Me, and Siana. That was a fun day. I took me like 30 minutes to get all that gel out of my hair, though! We totally deserved to win! We even got extra creativity points for our 'short shorts'! Thay loved it! Anyways, let me explain why you don`t see our flag in this picture. It`s horrible!!!!!!!!!! We did it the night before. This is the only way I know how to explain it...12:30am, Major sugar high, SIANA. I think that explains it all! It was awsome, though! Siana has it in her house so, I`ll see if I can get a picture of it. Oh yeah, here is the pink team...

Top from left to right, Cheyanne, Kasia, Sarah, Bethani, Laura, and Anna. Bottom three from left to right. Amanda, Ashton, and Miriam. Yeah. Their flag was ALOT better but, can ya see why we won team spirit day?! Haha. Anyways, yeah. I think I`ve pretty much told you everything. So, I`m gonnah go. I`m glad I got this done! It took a while but, it was worth it. So, Byez! I hope you enjoyed it!

Camp!

Ok, I promised I would tell you all about camp but, I never said when so, don`t be mad at me just because it`s been a few weeks since camp!

Anyways, about camp. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! I don`t have time to tell you all about it today so, I`ll have to do it in two different posts. Anyways, it was insane! It rained every day from like 3:00 to 5:00! RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR FREE TIME! But, that was okay `cause because of that, me and Siana got to make totally awsome pillows!

This year (by the way, I`m only talking about the teen camp in this post because, I don`t know anything about what happened at the little kids camp!) the girld cabin and the boys cabin was seperated into two teems each. For the girls it was the Pink and Purple and for the boys it was the Green Camo and Blue. We all had to come up with names for our team so, here they are...

Pink- The Pink Phantoms

Purple- The Purple People Eaters

Green Camo- The Green Camo Warriors

Blue- The Blue Squids

It was so fun! Me and Siana were Purple People Eaters and out chant won best chant!!!! Our team didn`t win for our banner but...that`s another story that I don`t have time to write at this moment! I`ll write it in the next post!

This year, there was super hero day, team spirit day, and backwards day. Here are the pictures of the pink and purple team on super hero day. I`ll save the best for last so, I`ll do the pink team first! Hahaha! Sorry, Miriam!


Okay, I`ll name the top 5 from left to right.


Miriam, Sarah, Bethani, Laura, and Ashton. The bottom two from left to right are Amanda and Kasia. You may be wondering why there is a member of the pink team dressed in purple. Well, that is supposed to be the evil villian! They are so mean! Lol! It was really creative, though. I thnk their team won that day BUT! We should have won! We were awsome! Oh well, we won the next day! Hahaha! At the final day of camp, the Pink Phantoms were in last plac, but my team was in second! Yeah, throuout the whole week, we get points for finding a golden shoe and doing nice things and stuff and at the very end, they add up all the points together and see what team had the most so, anyways, here is MY team!
Okay, The top 7 from left to right, ME!!!, Kendra, Katie, Kayla, Christy, Siana, and Valerie. The bottom 2 are out counselors, Christy, and Kelly.

Tomorrow (or whenever I do my next post) I will show you the pictures from Team Spirit day. Well, I g2g, byez!!
