Life this summer!! pt 2

So part 2 of my life this summer! Well this past July a group of 7 people from my church went to Dresden, Germany on a missions trip! It was my first trip out of the country. I think I picked a great place for my first time out of the country. haha! My friends Lesley, Cole and Katelyn went on this trip also. Then there was Tom and Dee and Cathy.We did a sports and English camp for kids that were in like high school. I had an amazing time. Seeing what the Lord can do and how he works in our lives. My friend Lesley and I did our own English class we had 15 kids mostly guys! It went really well and we had a lot of fun. We also gave them a lot of candy, which they loved! Yeah at this camp there was 30 boys and 14 girls. How crazy is that! Those poor girls.

While we were over there I connected with two of the German team ladies. Doreen and Lydia! Doreen and I acted like little kids although we were very serious people in our daily responsibilities. Lydia (said like Ludia) was a very sweet woman. I have to give props to her English it was very good. I have not been able to talk to them in emails because somethings wrong with our home email!
I put some links to photos I hope they work!

Life this summer!! pt 1

Life has been pretty awesome this summer!! Man I wish it was not over!
Well this summer I enjoyed my first real job (other than babysitting which is so much better) at Six Flags St. Louis! I was in the rides department and ran some of the rides mostly Xcalibur and then three little kid rides! awesome huh? I made a bunch of new friends and had a blast. Especially on ride nights! ONLY FOR Employee's!!! haha! Anyway while I worked there I shed at least 10-15 lbs! lol. I am so happy and it is still coming off! Six Flags was a great experience for me. Oh and did I tell you I am not done working there? I will be working until we close in November! Only on weekends though! Here are some pictures! (before I lost my camera)!
