Canvassing summer.

Well it’s almost two weeks into my canvassing summer.

Currently there are 6 students-Bridgette-25-she’s also the bible worker for the program, Anthony-16, Benjamin-15,Neiko-14 and four more girls coming Sunday. Crystal James and Eric Heredia are the leaders in the program.

Girls have the house next door to the church and guys stay in the sabbath school rooms in the church. I have kitchen duty, breakfast is provided by the program so I make breakfast every morning along with Neiko who helps. We make lunch type foods for breakfast because it’s a more filling meal since we just have sandwiches for lunch.

For the first three days of the program we trained for canvassing, I had to relearn a new canvass for this program which was somewhat tough. It’s made me a better canvasser though so it’s all good. We started actually canvassing the 27th.

  I’ve drilled my canvass into my head so much that the other night during our bible study i fell asleep in the church pew and started giving a canvass in my sleep, or so they said. Some of us get up at 5:30am and go play basketball at the local gym for an hour in the morning before our day starts. Friday is our free day and we’re going swimming and then playing basketball today.

  That’s about all of the basics of what’s going on in my life. Life is definitely a lot more complicated and sometimes frustrating but we have a lot of fun on our off time and even though it’s physically tiring and even mentally, canvassing is a blessing knowing your getting books into peoples homes that could be their only chance to hear the message.

There are 7 weeks left in the program, in three weeks we move to Murfreesboro. At the end of the program there is a retreat where all of the Youth Summit programs come together, my summer is going well. Im tired like all of the time and sometimes things don’t go the greatest...but hey thats life. Gotta focus on the good things in life. ;)

I would post pictures but my camera gave up the ghost a couple of days into the program, im waiting on the camera my moms sending. i’ll post pics the next time Im able to get internet connection. :)

later people.

Sunday is gonna be crazy busy. The floors will be finished by Sunday so i can get my stuff in my room and unpacked sunday morning, and then I have to be in Murfreesboro by 4pm Sunday afternoon. It's about a 2 1/2-3 hour drive there. Ick. I have to get my pretty room all organized..and then leave. saddening. But i'mma be too busy to be sad :P lolz.
I think i have a low blood sugar high. After like i think 8am i can't eat until after my physical. And i skipped breakfast. So i've had no food today. Except for one bite so when mom asked if i'd eaten anything, i could say yes. ;)

*Today

*I overslept thanks to my alarm clock not going off, woke up to everyone getting ready to leave for the property and opted to stay and tackle my packing instead of going with.

*So I accomplished packing everything packable in my room,Including a lot of stuff for my summer. I sorted through things and got rid of a lot of things i don't use or wear anymore. I got home last night and switch on my light only to see it spark and die. I wasn't happy, now i have to use one little nightstand light. I will be so glad to come home at the end of the summer to a nice house.

*Went white water rafting yesterday with a group from some of my friends church. Had a blast ;). We were all soaked and freezing by the end but it was definitely worth it. I came so close to going over the side, instead I almost cracked Jordan's knee with the helmet on my head. Ouch. sorry Jordan :P

That's about all that i can think of to jabber about currently. stay tuned for more boring posts. ;)

Wide awake

..So it's 1:30am in the morning. I should be asleep, but my brain refuses to shut down and let me sleep. Instead im sitting here with my brain going a mile a minute thinking about all of the stuff I have to get done this coming week, and then in the two weeks I have before school starts when I get home in August.
  The house is so close to being finished. To have it finished enough to move in the flooring has to be sanded and varnished, appliances and bathroom vanities installed and doors hung.
  Thats basically just a brief update on the house..im going to try and get some sleep now.
