positive exhaustion..

Well, this week was ministry week and we just got home this afternoon. I am glad to finally be back home, in my own bed, in my own room, with everything back to the norm. Very good feeling. This week was really really fun and it was an amazing experience. I learned so much personally about my faith and about what other people believe. This week was very reassuring to me of why I believe what I believe. Of all the religions that we visited and had discussions with, it really made sense to me of my own faith. I know who I am in Christ, and I know that I can know God personally, and that where I am going after this life on earth [that was the most scary for me to see other religions that didn't know, or was not good]. It was a learning experience, mixed with heaps of fun and good laughs.
Some pictures just of us hanging out, the group, and the one drawn pic is of us 5 girls -Jo drew it for Kari's b-day, he is really talented so it was a very cool gift.








These are some shots from our family night when we dressed up and did a dessert contest. That was fun! And then some are from the different religion places we saw and took pics with the people.







This one..we were mini golfing and it said Jack's Pass...the rest is history.

Okay...so in one of your pictures a girl looks kind of like Amy Letts. Upon further glances though I saw that she didn't, but seriously a quick look and it looks like her. It looks like you're having an awesome time, and I'm uber jealous/excited for you. Keep us up to date.
Cheers!

ok so who is this that looks like me? I didn't notice any resemblance.

Cassie Jo said...

I think that she meant Kari, who is the taller girl with the long, brown hair, no glasses. It's not too much of a resemblance but i can see that over the computer with tiny pics, you can see that by mistake.
how are you doing amy?
