well i find myself in beaver falls again...

well this past week was a pretty normal week. it was simple and fun.

the best part of this past week was some of the adult leaders. there was this group from philly and they adult leaders were just great. they were younger and closer to our age (which we always enjoy) and were able to just relax! it was amazingness.

well it is crazy thinking that i only have one week left. i am trying really hard to not check out. i really want to stay focused and not get too excited about going home. but it is just hard. i am so excited to go home and back to all the people i love so much. its impossible to not be excited about that. and moving into a house in downtown minneapolis and going back to school. but i have to remember that i am in a communitity where some people look forward to us coming all year and then are crushed when we leave. i want to be able to give my best to the next week just as much as i did in the beggining.

one big thing that did happen this week was kim cut off 10 inches of her hair to donate! and i got to cut it! i am basically a barber this summer. i have now cut kim's eric's and mark's hair! we raised 801 dollars for YE and she said she would cut it if we raised 800. so she had to do it! so we put it in a pony tail and measured 10 inches and cut right above it. then she went in yesterday and got it fixed. but it is really cute and turned out well.

another big note of this week is no more sams shopping!!!! i pretty much hate sams shopping and inventory. and we are officially done with that! it is a huge plus!!

so being a program staff i get to give a talk every night at club. and something i have been wanting to do is share that with everyone all summer long. so i am going to work on that today. it will hopefully be done soon. it will be a really long post seing as how i give 5 talks at about each 10 minutes long. but i am really excited to share them. and i am really proud of them since i have been molding and adapting them all summer long, that now it is something that i have put so much work into. so i hope you enjoy them.

  1. Adult leaders from philly...what awesome people could that possibly be about that I would love to meet?!

    It was so awesome to make a friend in Kryn this week and can't wait to see her in a week. Also if you read this blog you should be anxiously awaiting her blog post from her talks, because I know first hand how awesome and moving they are!
