~3o HoUr FaMiNe~

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. "
~ Romans 8:28 We had a sleep over at the church. This was the second time we have done this since I have been here, and it was really fun making beds by putting the pews together- feels like you are sleeping in a box. :) It was raining which limited some of the activities that we did but we still made up for that and had a really great time! I personally learned how to play Hawaiian Speed! So much fun, and I have to teach it to you all when I get back! haha It definitely takes coordination which I seemed to lack a bit of, at 3 in the morning.

I had the opporunity to really be challenged this weekend. I needed to prepare 2 different devotionals for two different age groups of youth. I was very nervous, yet excited at the same time. It turned out to be an awesome experience for me.

Even though this was a famine and not a wake- a- thon, you almost couldn't tell the difference. We never got much sleep and everyone was so tired the next day. We went to two church services which was nice and the youth had a song they sang during offering. Everone did so awesome and were really good sports throughout the whole thing. I honestly expected there to be more cranky people! haha

We had some really good times of worship! I love sitting there singing to God and watching more of His children praising His name and giving Him the glory! How incredible. Those are times that brings us all together and I really cherish. Everyone here is so amazing and I am constantly blessed as I get to spend more and more time with each of them. :)
We could continue to use your prayers here, and they are really appreciated! Thank You!
God Bless you all! and have a great day!
Love Kalena
