Scotland

Hey everyone it has been probley a year since I posted on here... amazing isnt it? haha not really...So I thought I would tell every one about my trip.... First off you should all know I had to fly to get to Scotland was not to excited..( and I told we could just drive there)- just kidding - Any ways I got to sit by Katie and Joel which was great.. haha we are officaly plane buddies it was alot of fun...


some of the ministry stuff consists of youth services, worship, service projects, acts of kindness, one on one time with people, street ministry, handing out free food with invite cards to the church, handing out pop, handing out doughnuts in the morning to the work people just being really freindly to the community...










some of the sites we have seen was a hunting lodge for the duke of hamilton which was huge it was SOOOO cool...


Bothwell Castle which belonged to Robert the Bruce from Braveheart which some of the kids from our group infiltrated and sacked haha it was not a good thing... long story we went to stirling castle on monday it was huge and had an amazing structure...



and the braveheart/william wallace monument on Sunday was my favorite! it was amazing... the views were breath taking... I could not bielive how high we were.. it really was sight to see... I have some good picture here..









and edinborough castle with shopping at the royal mile I cant inmagine just looking out from the top of the castle back in the 16th centary and seeing how beautifull every thing looked.. We were so high it was really cool..

I wanted to get a haircut so bad there but didnt get to... Joel did thoe and it looks awesome haha

oh a funny side note...the drivers there take no consideration for pedestrians and they are legally allowed to hit you if you are in the road.. which some of my friends thank God had some close calls including myself..to me it almost seemed like a game for us try not to get hit by cars and for the drivers try to hit as many people as you can.. haha .. i was probley less then a foot from getting run over once.. it was scarry we didn't know that rule now we do driving is crazy and the roads are tiny... as you can see


everything there was smaller the rooms the food the cars pretty much everything exept the prices of there stuff.. haha I saw a t-shirt for 300 american dollars...some blue geens for 450 dollars.. amazing.. haha

Big post for me and Ill update more later... so keep checking back

BLEH! but atleast i have one right? well any ways later on that month i was asked to played the part as a Shepard and a Wiseman in the nights of music and i said yes. I switched back and fourth. If we didnt have enough guys i was the Wiseman. if every one showed up i was a Shepard.. haha that was fun because before the show started we- Isak Johnson Aaron Tonn and myself ran around in are costumes either away from Shea or away from some thing else haha! i also played the same part in teh christmas eve service. mmmmmm...

Epik

Well last night was are huge hitt off with Epik in the epicenter.. it was truly amazing.. I had the best time .. And to see some old friends of mine from school was also neet-(I home school)-.. So the service was staarting and people were crouding in to the sanctuary... Totally reminded me off MYC which makes me happy because i love youth convention.


So are guest speaker, Erik Tims started to speak and he is just halarous and yet he made his point this guy totaly rocked. reminded me of Robin Williams haha and are own Adam Syscho... any ways later on during the srvice the guy went off stage to grab his paint and came back out and started painting.. i couldnt figure out what he was painting untill closer to the end but it was a totaly amazing demonstration... (more details in my upcomming posts)

So he finished his painting and gave an alter call for 2 groups of people..

The first one was kids who havent given there life to christ.
teh second one was for kids with addictions and problems that they cant get rid of..such as addictions.. and once he gave that second alter call the alter flooded with teenagers I was so... truly thankfull for that night for all the kids who left there addictions at that alter.. God is truly amazing... at the end of the night the security people kicked us out..haha well the students that is.. and we went home...

So that was pretty much my night of epik...

But when i went ot bed that night i just lade there looking at my ceiling and thinking about how truly blessed us teenagers are to have this building and to have awesome youth leaders who are on fire for God..
