Back so soon...

So...my mom keeps asking me to updat e my blog...and know I have a little time to actually sit at the computer and put an update on here.
Where do I begin??? Well, teen camp was a lot of fun this year, I have a lot of pictures and hopefully I can post a few in a couple of days. The best thing I heard at teen camp this year from a speaker was, "Where ever you are be there...enjoy the moment."
We spend so much of our life worrying about what is to come in the future and we forget to enjoy what God is giving to us everyday. So I say to any of you who might actually read this..."Take a deep breath...hold it...exhale and say a prayer to God thanking Him for everything He has blessed you with!"
After Youth camp, I was home for about 4 hours before heading off to Mexico. If you have never been on a missions trip out of the country, I would suggest it...IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!! I don't know where to begin......There were so many emotions that hit me through the week. I almost started crying on the first day when we first got to our work site, I couldn't believe how much stuff I have and how little these families have. I also couldn't believe the smell...I can't even explain it if you've never experienced it.
We finished 3 houses, ok by the word house I mean a 2 room building that has 4 actual solid walls and a door. These houses were probably smaller then my living room, and thats not that big.
The last day we went to an orphanage and played with the kids for a few hours...there was one little girl who was four and all I knew is that she kept saying she wanted her momma...Heartbreaking.
Becky didn't go...It was a little disappointing but probably better in the long run. We spent a whole day at the hospital in El Paso...to bad Joel was in Korea...if you want to know about this experience you'll have to call me...all I will say is that it was a long day and that God answers prayers!!
I am working on a video of Mexico and other things, hopefully it will be done soon so I can get it to family.
I enjoyed having family here, being so far away makes you treasure the time you spend with them...James sorry about the trip to Hays:) Smile God loves you...By the way, if you ever need a kitchen redone...James is the man...it looks awesome...it's actually kind of fun to wash the dishes. And it is always more fun to stink with your family then anyone else!! Let me know when you are bringing Rebekah to spend some time in Cripple Creek, we will go eat at the best pizza place in town again...just don't order a hamburger...
Ok...I will have more to say later but until then...
Love Ya...
