Hmm....no idea what to call this one






Hey everyone, Hope the Christmas spirit is settling in well. This week was an interesting one for me. We had our 4th class, Church Ministry. I didn't really find that I get a lot out of this one. People keep asking me why, and I don't really have an answer, I just wasn't very interested in it. Not to say that it was a bad class or anything, cause it totally wasnt. But anyways, this week started off with me and Josh realizing that no one was going to go to Colombia besides us two. Josh was not happy with that, so he switched to a different trip leaving me by myself. After realizing that I really didn't want to do this alone, I went to Jim and got switched to New York. so for my missions trip I am going to new york.




Throughout this week I've been able to catch up on my sleep, and be able to wake up almost normally again! Though it felt good to sleep, when mens retreat came, the sleep ended once again. Anyways, Having classes this week caused me to not really have time to do other things, but on thursday I did go to the ladysmith show of lights. That was AMAZING!!!! I really enjoyed it. I brought my camera with me to try and see if I could get any good shots (my experience with night shots and no flash normally turn out horrable) But Jordan showed me what to change on my camera, and it worked!!!! I was so happy! Here are some of the good ones below.

This weekend I was unable to go to youth due to me having to work my last full weekend. It was Mens retreat. Now the past 2 years I have amazing weekends at mens retreat, but this year sucked. I was really tired, and kinda grumpy to start, so working was really hard for me. You run out of food for the men, they flip. It was really challenging not to freak out at some of them for different situations. Im pretty sure that I was not being a good christian this weekend by my attitude. Other than that things were good. Please pray that I get my last 2 papers finnished for the semester, and that this next week will be resting yet fun. Ooh, and also that mt washington will get enough snow so that our ski trip doesnt get ruened on a week and a half. Hope you all have an amazing week!!!
