Last Couple of Weeks....BUSY!!!

Well, I am finally settled down to where i can do another post. The past 3-4 weeks have been hectic. The first major week was the week of the mission's trip. We went to Osage, Oklahoma and ministered to the people in Pawhuska. I had kid's camp for the first 2 days and work projects the last 2 days. Dani was in my group and we just hung out all week. We really connected and now i feel more closer to her more then ever before. I really miss the awesome teenagers there that we met like Legrand and Kris. Ahhhh, good times! After Pawhuska, we went to Orlando, Florida to compete in a National Fine Arts competition for Percussion Unconventional, Puppet Group, and Small Sign Language. We all got Superior and did a wonderful job! The services were excellent....just like i remembered 3 years ago. We didn't go the first 2 nights because on Monday, we didn't get registered on time and Tuesday, we went to the Barlow's for a barbecue....amazing food!!! The services we did go to were amazing!!! I really felt like i connected w/ God a little bit......it was an amazing feeling to do that!!!!!!!! After Orlando, we returned home and i slept for a looooong time...then school started! Well, that was it....an explanation of what happened towards then end of summer in a nutshell...and that is not even half of it....lol!!
