Some Summer Photos

We just had Jr. Camp this past week, these were my girls I had in my room. We had a lot of fun! I have not had a chance to met most of these girls, cause I am normally with the Sr. high and never see this age group. Tyler and I are suppose to be getting on the children's church rotation so I can get a chance to know these girls even better. Several of them were called into full time service of some sort and 2 got saved. It was awesome to see God work in their lives, even at such a young age.For the 4th of July the youth/College class went out to the Shamasko's house. We shot off tons of fireworks and grilled out. (we can do that cause we were in the country lol) We had a great time of fellowship, it was nice to relax with some friends and now FAMILY (I love these church people already so much, they have been so welcoming and kind :) ). We also watched National Treasurer on their projector screen in their backyard, that was pretty cool!
Have you ever seen some one make an shape or letter ect with a sparkler and they capture it in a photo? Well I tried.... So I had abunch of my girls attempt it and this one turned out the best. We did accomplish a M, but Morgan's face is messed up in it. lol And then mine was a B, but I didnt think about it being backwards, so I just need to mirror it to actually look like a B.
This was the group of teens we took with us to Sr. Camp. I got a chance to get to know each of the kids personally. Most of the teens have similar backgrounds like I did growing up. It breaks my heart to see others have to deal with the same things. But I am thankful I can use it as a testimony and say look what God did for me and in my life.
This is Kristen, I had a chance to lead her to the Lord at Sr. Camp. Kristen's sister got called into full time service at Jr. Camp.Look at those blue eyes! This is Darla and Greg's little boy Zane. He is so fun to take pictures of, and very energetic! lol
I am so thankful for Bro. Dan being able to preach at Sr. Camp. The Lord used him in so many ways. It was a blessing to see all the decisions that were made that week!
This is Olivia, she is a little super star. Love the pouty lips!!!! :)

This has been a crazy busy summer and its still not over! HA Its been a great summer and I am thankful for my camera that I can capture all these great memories. We are getting ready to go to Youth Conference in OKC next week, then we have VBS the week after that, then school starts,then we have our ladies retreat and then we have our ladies trip to MO!!!!! :) I will try to keep posted of the upcoming events.
Hope yall are having just as much fun this summer as I am! :)

Sleep what???? lol

It will be 2mths the 23rd of this month that we have been in Sherman. We have been literally none stop since the moment we have been here. I do enjoy being busy, I feel productive! There is just something about being in the ministry full time and even though you dont get time to stop much its all worth it. I am working in the office with Mrs. Johnson and another lady from our church. They both are a hoot! I love being able to work everyday with Mrs. Johnson and ask her things of ministry. I have already learned so much from her in the short amount of time we have been here. I am truly blessed for the pastor's wife we have :) Tyler works in the office as well but he hasnt been in the office much at all cause we are finishing up our Family Life Center and so the guys have been working really hard on it. I cant wait for our Family Life Center to be done, we are going to be able to use that for so many things for the teenagers and other classes. Since we have been here we had graduation, graduation reception, fellowship meeting, camp, fundraiser luncheon, and we are leaving for camp a week from today. It doesnt seem like that much but it really has been! lol I have gotten a chance to really get to know people here during al these things. Camp was a great week to bond with the teens, they are just as crazy as me. I dont know if that is a good thing or bad. haha Camp was such a emotional week and one of the best weeks of camp I have had in a long time. Bro. Dan (our old youth pastor) preached all week and he talked about all the things that God has done in our life. Lots of decisions were made and we had 2 teens get saved from our church. We are still seeing decisions being made! I am so thankful for what God has done in our life and it is only God who could do the things that have happened in our life. This will be a crazy week to get ready for camp but I will try to get on before then to post pics of the summer. :)
