Beautiful sunset!
We had a "rest weekend" and stayed in a really nice hotel
since we didn't have to be at the next church until Sunday night.
The guys took us girls out to eat at Chili's :) Thanks guys! :)
The girls.. I took some of the guys, but well..
let's just say that they didn't really turn out.. :)
Havin' some fun out shoppin'! :)
Marty walked to Chick-fil-A and brought back shakes :)
I was so excited to drink mine that it wasn't until after I
picked it up that I realized that I still had the cup holder
attached to it! haha Obviously you can see it didn't hinder me! ;)
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! :)
We celebrated Valentine's Day on Monday, so we surprised
the girls with some little goodies and cards as well as this
Valentine's Day board! :) I think that they really enjoyed it! :)
Each of the girls got flowers, a card, a mug with candy,
and some candy hearts :)
I think that they really liked it all! :)
They also gave their teachers some gifts.. :)
I got this "I love you" sign language sucker :)
There's rarely a dull moment with these girls :)
I walked in to find this sign by Miss Amanda's spot.. :)
In case you can't see it, it says "Do not enter. This is
Miss Amanda's property." :)
There was also some Valentine candy donated to the
school, so the principal let us girls all choose some :)
I don't normally just let them sit like this, but since there
was no hole for her feet, then I let her.. :)
This is the house us girls stayed at this week..
And this is the sweet lady we stayed with, Mrs. Booher,
actually she's the pastor's mother.
TRASH BALL
This week Pastor Rudd, the assistant pastor, took pictures
for us and their yearbook this week. It was so nice of him
to take pictures! He took a ton! Over 2,000 total, I think!
So, that is why this is bit longer of a post.. just in case your wondering :)
Marty giving his testimony in chapel
Referee Dr. Jim :) He does a great job & would make
a perfect sports announcer! But this is better.. :)
HALF-COURT BASKETBALL
Marty throwing the ball in to his team..
Quite the catch! ;)
SCORE!
I think maybe she was excited?! :)
No comment.. :)
Doing registration
TUBE TUG!
Spectators :)
DIVE!!!
Quite the characters! ;)
We had the service in the auditorium the first night
because the adults were also joining us for the service.
TV Skit
The Sports Announcer..
The Chef..
The Game Hunter.. Quite the trio! ;)
Nicole's gonna probably kill me for this one, but I
really liked it! Such a candid shot! :)
I think she's in the midst of saying "GO SEALS!"
I think Seth's in the middle of saying, "Give me an Oooh-Rah!"
I'm a candid shot person.. what can I say? ;)
Singing before the message
Some teachers from the school there..
Naomi (on the left) is the first grade teacher
and
Mrs. Booher (on the right) teaches & is also the pastor's wife
More candid shots! ;p
SHORT-RANGE BOMBARDMENT
(i.e. Dodge Ball on steroids :))
Since I was putting candid ones of everyone else,
I figured it was only fair to put one of me too ;)
Go Recon! NOT!!!
SPOKE TACKLE
(i.e. America's Roughest Race)
In this race you can body check, take down, clothesline,
tackle, trip, push, shove, fly tackle, sly tackle, arm drag,
hip toss.. just about anything goes! Your the boss! ;)
Directing traffic :)
Marty in the Middle :)
Super Heroes that Never Made It!
Bummy Seth ;)
Mugger Marty
Peer Pressure Alex
"Gramps" is about to free Seth from Mugger Marty!
BIG BALL BOWLING
Seals won the week! Can you tell they're excited?! ;)
Friday night testimony time..
I actually didn't to see much of it since I went inside to talk
to a girl who came back during testimonies..
We talked for a long time.. all during testimonies and the
message but we had a really good counseling session..
She was saved, I believe, but not right with the Lord.
It was neat to see how the Lord convicted those who
just came for the evening Wars..
The assistant pastor wanted the teens to write down the
sins that they had dealt with this week & throw them
into the fire, thus signifying their desire to be rid of them..
I really enjoyed spending time with Anissa on Friday
night as she helped us take down posters :)
This is her "volcano" that she made out of tape from the posters ;)
Pastor Rudd, the assistant pastor, with his daughter :)
This is the man to thank for the majority of these pics!
And there are PLENTY more! :)
The guy on the far left is the prinicpal. He and his wife
have only been there for about 6 months..
they do a great job with the kids!
There were numerous times that I heard him
pray for them or talk to them with wet eyes..
His heart for them was a challenge to me!
Dr. Jim & Brad
(Brad was a kid at the school this week that it seemed
the Lord really did a deep work in his heart.. I don't
know too many details since I obviously didn't counsel
him, but it was neat to see how the Lord was obviously
working in Brad's heart this week!)
