I am taking over the youth blog. So pretty soon the youth blog will be up and running, with frequent updates and exciting content. I'm excited about it! I have several people writing articles right now so as soon as I get them edited, approved, and posted, I'll let ya'll know! :)
My second bit of exciting news? (ohmyheavensyouguysIamsoexcitedIcanbarelystandtosithereandtype) *resists urge to run around office like chicken with cranial counterpart disengaged* (That was a very diplomatic way to say that. I am proud of myself.)
Let me start from the beginning.
For a very long time, I have been pushing Bro. Rodgers to try to get the youth group to get involved in a certain...area. I've had a burden for it and I've been praying about it and pushing it every chance that I get. To the point where I would ask to talk to Bro. Rodgers and he would automatically think that it was about that.-sometimes it was, but not every time. Then, last Sunday (I believe) Bro. Rodgers gave me good news...Pastor approved and we were waiting to announce it.
I figured that it would be a while before anything was said so I did no prepare myself at all on Wednesday night when Pastor Howard announced that the young people are....GOING TO BELIZE!!! Yes! In the Spring, YFT is taking a mission's trip to Belize! I'm so thrilled, I can't even begin to describe it to you. No lie. I just about shot out of my seat and took a few laps around the church at the speed of light. Okay, yeah, so it wouldn't've been that fast, but my heart was going around the church faster than that. I'm too out of shape to literally do that.
So for the next several months, I will be saving money, getting a passport, planning, saving some more, and getting even more excited about this trip. Prepare yourself for the post(s) that will be coming concerning this trip!
So those are the only two things going on right now that I can share with you all. As soon as I can give more announcements, I will be. ;)
Now that you've had all kinds of cardio as a result of the excitement from this post, I'm done. YOu can thank me later.
Peace be with you!

Lucky!!!! I have always wanted to go on missions trip!! 😀
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about it! I plan on taking a lot of pictures while I am there, so I'll have to send you some. ;)
DeleteTake me with you
DeleteNot to be insulting or anything, but you would probably make my suitcase weigh too much...I suppose I could try though. ;) On the other hand, I don't think they would notice if you went on 'vacation' to Belize and it happened to be at the exact same time. I mean, when it comes to Mexicans, once you've seen Juan, you've seen Jamal. You probably wouldn't stand out too incredibly much.-unlike me and my pasty white, mayonnaise self. ;)
