Running for President

I'm running for Student Council President at Summit Christian Academy and this is my presidential speech.

3 Day Kids Club!

This is a long over due post, we should have shown you long ago pictures of the 3 day (which turned out to only be a 2 day) kids club. We had a lot of fun with the kids and did many special things for them that we don't do on a weekly basis. We played many games, gave out a little snack and drink, had crafts, and because it was Christmas time (and because many people donated clothes to a container that was sent to FM) we were able to give out a little gift to each kid on the last day. We also memorized John 3:16 (this was mainly for the older group of kids) and our theme was God Speaks through his Love. We tied the Christmas story and Salvation story into this message. The children loved it! (Even though we couldn't do it one day because of rain). This whole thing wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for all the help we got. It was wonderful to have so many hands helping out and serving the Lord.

The Mighty Mighty Gorge Swing!!!

I know it's been along time since we've written a blog. We're really sorry. We've been quite busy hosting guest for the last 4 months! While we were hosting some of these guests we went to Livingstone; the main tourist attraction here in Zambia. During our stay a friend of mine, Megan Hardison and I, decided we wanted to do something called the gorge swing when we went to Victoria Falls. The pictures will show you what our experience was like. It is a free fall of 53 meters and then you swing! It is a lot of fun, especially if you go tandum swinging, because you go up to 120 kmp. Gordon also did this adventure with us, but he did it alone. Enjoy the pictures!

Fireworks in Africa!

Friday last week, we went to a fireworks show at Baobab School. It was a LOTT of fun and it was the best firework show I'd ever seen in Africa. My family and I were really impressed! Something else that made it really cool, was that we were really close to them. Kathryn and I said that watching fireworks in the states isn't as exciting because they keep you far away (with good reason) but it was definitely more exciting to have them exploding right over your head. :)

Good-Bye David :(

We had a good-bye party at our house on Saturday last week. David Straw (a kid from youth) is moving to Australia. We had too much fun, but it was a sad time as well. One of my sayings is that life for an MK is "hello and good-bye". The funny pictures of people putting on clothes are from the relay we did. One of the steps in the relay was to open a suitcase and put on the clothes that were inside. We had a ball!

Band Practice

Hey Everyone! We have started a youth band PRACTICE. I wouldn't say we're a band yet, because we're not that good, but practice makes perfect, right? We try to meet once a week. A Baptist Bible study we attend here has asked us to perform 2 songs sometime this month so that's what we're working toward for the moment. Kathryn and I sing mainly, and Kathryn also plays the shaker. In the pictures we have Verona on the keyboard, Caleb on the guitar, Lucas on the trumpet, and Callie on the Drums. We have two more guitarists but they are gone for a while. Enjoy!
