Our Trip Thus Far!

The last couple days have been amazing! Two of our students who did not previously hold Christ as their Savior now do! God has been doing incredible things! Yesterday, we began our incredible journey of service by waking up early and traveling to the Summer Day Camp site on the inner-city's north side. Our students jumped right into action, teaching the little ones two memory verses: Romans 8:28 and Psalms 119:11.

Next, the teens taught the kids the first chapter of our week-long story Ringu. Just so you know, these kids are doing amazing with the little kids! Also, yesterday we saw the inner-city slums, which caused our teens to ponder.

Today was very similar and the kids are working really hard. Keep prayin' them up because God is doing amazing things and there just isn't room enough to say! TWO NEW CHRISTIANS!!

In Pittsburgh...

Hello all! We have arrived safely in Pittsburgh and have already seen and done a ton! We went to a family BBQ for about 1.5 hours, where we were given FREE food, then we traveled to the "Strip District" (which is NOT as it sounds, it is simply one large strip mall (an outdoors mall of sorts). It was a little late and most of the stores were closed, so we headed to the city, saw some sites as we drove, then went passed my old High School and went to a local mall.

After we shopped 2 stores, I then took everyone on the Duquense Incline in which we were "toted" up a mountain in an old box car! We got to see the city begin to light up!

After all that excitement, we headed to my parent's house, got some r&r and then sent the girls over to Hilary's parents for the night. OFF TO BED!! More news to come (if I have internet access that is!)

Shocking Blog reply

Today, I read a blog by Carlos Whittaker entitled: Kill it. The ideas behind it was GREAT, asking church workers and/or church members to decide if there was one thing they could kill in the church what would it be. Appallingly, Youth Ministry was one idea that came up...twice!

I was shocked and saddened by this. I wish I knew what the reasoning was...

What do you think?

Work-Out update

I am now 205 lbs!!! I have so far lost approx. 11 lbs and I'm moving towards my goal of 185 lbs. I would be satisfied if I reached 190, but I want to be where I was my freshman year of college. I'm not sure how far Nate Lawson is along in the process, but I hope I'm beating him :)

Here are a couple before and after photos.
