Hey Everyone..

    Well we just got back from the missions trip a few days ago. It was really awesome. It was sweet to see the whole group bond. I think a lot of people are closer now.  Also it was sweet to just be able to serve others who were in need. Most of the week i was hanging drywall and i did a little bit of muding. I had never done that before, but it was cool to learn and i actually like to do that! I also did a little bit of painting, scraping and sanding paint, and landscaping. The devotions were a kinda lame and some of the speakers, but i was still able to grow in my walk with the Lord. I learned a lot about things in my life that i need to work on and things that i need to do better, to be a better disciple of Christ. It was also cool to build relationships with the youth from other youth groups, the interns, and the people of Indianapolis! Honestly i wasnt too excited before the trip, i felt like it wasnt a "real" missions trip because we werent going very far away. But through the trip God was really working in me. I learned that its not about how far away you are going, the kinds of work you will be doing, or the place you are staying. Its about the relationships you build and the way you can serve others and show them Gods love!! Overall the week was amazing.

   Well now im back in Celina and life is crazy again. This weekend there is a Cowboy Mounted Shoot at the Fairgrounds in Celina. Our 4-h club and MCEO is putting it on and working it, so i've been doing a lot to get ready for that. So this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, i will be at the fairgrounds basically all day, so you guys should come up and watch. Its really cool to watch!!

  Well im babysitting right now, and the kids are fighting, so i should probably get off! Have a great week everyone!

*Love, Me*

**Check out my photos. I added new photos of the 30 hour famine and things like that!!

ok..wow..its been almost a month since i updated last. Hmmm, well i have been SUPER busy.

   This past weekend i went to Columbus for a horse Parelli clinic. It was really cool. Parelli was started by a guy named Pat Parelli, and it is all about how to read what a horse is thinking and then how to have a relationship with your horse and how to train them and things!! It was SO cool. I learned so much that i cant wait to try with my horses. Pat Parelli and his wife Linda were there and some other people who have worked through the program. They had there horses so trained that they were riding with out bits in the horse mouth, they were able to sit on the ground and then the horse knew to lay down beside them. It was just so cool to see what these people could do with horses, hopefully by the end of the summer i will be able to do some of these things too!! So that was all day Saturday and Sunday.

  Then i came home on Sunday and got ready and packed and we went to spend the night up in Norwalk and headed to Cedar Point the next morning. It was me, Key, his girlfriend Ashley, and then Jairus. But there were some issues so Jairus didnt go to Cedar Point with us, so Keys other friend Dave came up and went. It was pretty fun, although im a little sun burnt!

    I've also been really busy with my 4-H, Jr.Fairboard, and MCEO. With summer here and Fair coming up theres SOO much that i have to do with that. Fair is like 2 1/2 months away, but yet when your on Jr. Fairboard and stuff it feels like its so close. Then theres also getting my horse ready and riding Hollee and playing with Kloey and things. So thats been keeping me busy. Im also excited that  im almost done with school for the year!! Im done with everything except geometry which im taking at the public school.

    I think i have a summer job too. Which is good. I think im going to be babysitting still for the Hines. Emily got a job through the summer from 9-2, which is a good time. And then it will also be Emily's friends little boy. So there will be 5 kids and then since im done at 2 i will still have the afternoons to be at the barn and stuff. So im excited for that!!

 Ok well this has been a long enough post. I hope you all have a wonderful week and enjoy the beautiful day!!

Sometimes i wonder...

• How life can be so confusing yet so simple...
• How your whole world can change in a second yet everything still be the same...
• How you can be torn in a million pieces yet still held together...
• How everything seems right yet nothing is...
