fall is creeping in...

Today was a wet relaxing Sunday. I decided on Grace Fellowship Baptist Church (http://www.grace2032.org/home.html) which is amazing! The people are very kind and the four candidates that decided on this church were invited to Dan Larsons and his wife's house today for lunch. It was super having a home cooked meal again, and also tonight they made chili for supper at the church too. good stuff! my tummy was very happy today. :)
Tyler, Kate, and I(all the singles) went to Knoxville to load up on some food for awhile! Tyler just picked up a grill last Saturday so we wanted some meat. We got 60 pounds of hambergers, 4 big bags of chicken, lots of hot dogs, a cupple bags of stir fry, and some more food!!! We should be set for a long, long time! i love food, but like Mr. Hussack says "if you like to eat you gatta learn how to cook. :)
Yesterday Brandon and Natasha(candidates that live 2 cabins up from me) invited us all up for a cookout. So we had burgers, fish, and steak. That was an amazing treat and it was also good to get to know everyone better. I am looking forward to doing this more. Good times.
Scott Kamps is the youth leader at Grace Fellowship and he went through TMM in 2001ish I believe. He is doing a Bible study on Thursday nights with the college kids on John Pipers book-Dont Waist Your Life. This has always been a book I have wanted to study more. I am excited to have this to motivate me to read it. He is also the Program Director of the Stable. This is a stable environment for kids from kids that dont need baby sat to seniors in high school. Its a lot like NET Work. I hope to help out with this some on fridays also!
Thanks for praying for me and all your support! please pray that I will get direction for my next step this year!

well, well another week has passed...

So This past weekend took many of us off guard. we were told 1 hour before we needed to be packed for the night in the woods because "we were in danger" so i packed my backpack and got ready for a night in the woods. It ended up being quite enjoyable. The ladies killed, cleaned and cooked chickens for us all-very chewy but edible. I also thought I would take a chance and sleep in my hammock over the stream which actually went really well and I got a decent amount of sleep.
The past few days we have been doing alot of chain saw work for fire wood-the 1 and only way our cabins stay warm this winter!
thanks so much for your prayers-Gods creation amazes me every day...the half moon is shinning brightly along with all the stars right now :)

an super Sunday! :)

I couldn't just explain this place in one word already. I know that when I am done it probably is going to take a couple days to explain all thats happend! So anyways I went into town to go to grace fellowship baptist church fairly close to robbinsville today with my parents. They were very welcoming and I enjoyed it. The pastor preached on Jude 1:24-25 which says: ²⁴To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— ²⁵to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen. It was a great reminder to Keep God central in our lives and to give him all the glory and honor he deserves!
After the sermon the morisons(family at the mission), my parents and I went to eat at this legit Mexican restaurant. I got NY strip stake because that just might be the last time for stake in long while! Thanks parents! :) Then I had to say goodbye to my parents and thank them for dealing with me for the last 19 years and 1 month and 19 days. :( I love you!
It was great, now my afternoon was chill-I could do what I wanted(with in reason). So I did what most teenagers do, I slept and got my room almost all unpacked! happy day!
I love how spontaneous things are when we dont have cell reception(which is amazing!) I kinda love not having to deal with it for awhile, it has its uses. so haley pulled up on a 4wheeler and invited me to go play vball down at snowbird church! so much fun to even get down the mountain and then i got to meet some more great people and play vball.
once again thanks much for your prayers! I can see God in an incredible way through His stars tonight! it is amazing, doesn't compare to anywhere i have been. In closing please pray for my roommate tyler as he is traveling today and tomorrow!
p.s. i have already made friends with 2 black labs and a smaller puppy! I love it! :)

The time has come!

I am leaving here soon! Please pray for safety as I travel. Some pictures are to come :) Thanks for your support.
