I know it's been a while so here we go:
1. Sundays have been going amazing! We're about half way through James now (which has been just an amazing blessing by the way) ... but i'm sure the second half will take a little more time than the first half! If you're a student, I hope you've learned a bunch ... If you're a parent, ask your wonderful student about our what they've been learning for the last 7 weeks ... and if you're neither of the previous two, why are you even reading this?
2. Wednesday nights have been quite an adventure - From Obadiah, to Daniel, to Gideon and Samson, we've been studying various RIGHTEOUS men of the Old Testament as well as reading about the EPIC battles in which God so wonderfully demonstrates his power and pure "awesomeness." Anyway, we will continue to study throughout the Old Testament (probably focusing around the book of Joshua) ... sooo once again ... If you're a student, brace yourself ... If you're a parent and your children start gathering an army to fight the neighbor's kids, DO NOT worry - it's completely natural ... I did that all the time when I was a little boy! Just give it a few weeks!
3. Story Time: I was recently at the Maldonado's house where I was posed with a challenge - a pie eating contest against Mr. Zack Maldonado ... pecan pies of course. Well after my victory I decided that I like food. I will now be accepting any pie eating contest challenges! (Feel free to schedule one with me ... however, if you do so, you will be purchasing the pies and I will be winning ... it's just how it works in AMPED.)
4. THE WEEKEND!!!!! Well if there's one event I love more than anything at the church it would have to be the weekend. Just imagine shoving summer camp into three days instead of
a week - It is simply a weekend packed with fun events. As seen on the right The Weekend's theme this year is recycling ... which is just great isn't it? I honestly have nothing to say about recycling ... Obviously it's a good thing ... SOOOO if recycling is good, The Weekend will be that much better!!!! There are tons of games and just nonsense things that we do that are soooo fun ... you have no idea!!! Of course, we have church too - we will have a guest speaker and band of whom I do not know (or do i?) ... so that's exciting too!!! I have only been to one weekend event, but I have heard that they are all just as amazing as last year. The cool thing is that JUNIOR HIGH is invited ... which is probably a mistake by Evan because we are going to win this year ... OH WAIT! I forgot to mention that we break into teams and score points because The Weekend is a competition!!! If you have any questions ... feel free to ask me anytime ...
Here are some basics:
- It's April 2nd-5th
- Cost is $50
- Handouts are available at church! ... they look like the picture
THAT IS ALL!
God Bless
