3 Weeks Away

Three weeks until convention and I am only half away through with all my stuff. I wish all of you good luck in everything your doing. I'm getting more excited each day. I don't know about you but I love doing Lads to Leaders because I enjoy being able to compete against other Christians my age. I'm going to hate it when I graduate from high school and not be able to compete and do things in Lads to Leaders but judge and continue to tell others about Christ. Even after we graduate that's not any excuse to quit doing with our churches just because we are college kids. We always need to be good examples to those around us no matter what our age is. We always have people watching us everywhere we go so were always influencing others in one way or another even if we don't know it. Who knows we might even get someone to become a christian or to go back to church who hasn't gone in a very long time. That's one of the good things about Lads to Leaders we are always around christian people everywhere we turn. I love doing Lads to Leaders and I hope you do to. Good luck finishing anything you are still working on and I hope to see you there. Please keep praying for Addi and the doctors that maybe they will find out what is causing her illness and be able to cure it.

25 Days to Go

25 days until Lads to Leaders and there is still so much to do. From learning my speech, finishing scrapbook which I am almost done, and more. I am counting the days down. It's almost time for convention and I hope everyone is as excited as I am. I hope everyone does great and I wish you luck in everything you are doing. I hope everyone has a good and safe trip. Please continue to keep Addi in your prayers that she might get better soon.

Time is Close

Well time is getting closer, I am half way done with scrapbook. I love working on it. I have my speech and I am learning it. We have six weeks to go. I can't wait. I look so forward to going to Lads to Leaders convention. I wish more churches would get involved in it. Its just a way for the young people to involve themselves in the Lord's work and to show that age is just a number that we can teach and learn as much as we can. We are very lucky to have the members of the church and Lads to Leaders to encourage us and help us any way possible. I want to thank them and everyone else who puts their time and effort in supporting us.

Addi

Addi is a girl who has been really sick. I wanted to write about her because she is such a very sweet, loving person and I love her so much. Maybe if she reads this it will make her smile. She goes to church with us and I hope she gets to feeling better real soon. So please everyone say an extra prayer for her and her family and that maybe Addi will be back to church soon.

Getting Started

I just got started with scrapbook. It's always so much but it's alot of hard work. You don't have to be creative or anything like that. If you don't do scrapbook you should. I did two and a half sections today. It's a good way to keep up with events that goes on from year to year and it's better than a photo album. I hope everyone enjoys looking at my scrapbook.

Web Page

Web Page is a wonderful way to teach others about God with a way of technalogy that's used today. It is a way for me to share with you the different gatherings that our congregation and youth do together to learn and teach about God. I love sharing my experiences with others and this is a way for me to do that. I love my church family. They are always there for us and encourages us to do many Godly things. I am so grateful to have them!!!!!!!

Survivor Retreat

Survivor Retreat is an event that our church members do. We select a weekend and go to Indian Creek Youth Camp to spend time together. We take the theme for Lads to Leaders and we study it. Our weekend at camp is based on what we studied for convention and we do different activities and games. It's a way for us to get together as a group and study, learn, and enjoy spending time together.
