Amazing 3 Weeks - For Real, This Time

Okay, so I didn't make you wait TOO long to see my next post. Odds are, you probably didn't even look at my previous post until you saw this one. Am I right?

Anywho, for 3 weeks I've been gone from Yokosuka. As amazing as those weeks were, I was disappointed that I wasn't spending time with my friends in the Yoko-hood before I move. But, such is life.

The first week I was gone, I had been in Yokota visiting friends and taking Cherry Blossom pictures. I got to spend time with one of my best buddies, Sarah, whom I recently found out is moving very soon. I also got to see her perform in HSM2 as Kelsi Neilson, along with other friends who were in the play.

The second week I was gone, I went to an amazing Island called Tokashiki where the best youth retreat ever, ShoreBreak, happened. It was so amazing. We had a really great group and all grew closer to eachother (well, atleast from my point of view) Not to mention, closer to God. Our worship leader was this awesome musician by the name of "Moi", who has stuff on Itunes, so, look him up! And the Recreation was phenominal! I think I was sore for a few days... but that may have been from the basketball tournament that my friends, Kyhlea, Kristina, and I won. Who knew I could play basketball? I'm also really happy that tons of my friends put their faith in God during this week, and so far, are still going strong. :]

The third week I was gone, I was spending some extra time in Okinawa (advantage of homeschooling. :P) with my buddy, Kate Cooper! We did tons of fun stuff. First, we had Easter service. I got to wear my Easter Dress :D The service was really short, but I'm okay with short. After the sermon (I was still in my dress) we went to the beach so Kate could go crazy with her camera and I could be a model for a day. Loads of fun, you should try it sometime! Then, later that evening, there was a post-ShoreBreak event with the Hume Lake people (Hume Lake hosted the retreat, they are from California) on Kadena. The parents were invited and some of the students stood up and said what they learned on the retreat. There were alot of people. It was great. Moi lead us in worship, it was cool to hear him again.

Then, the very next day, our buddy, Kristina Rohlin came up to visit in Oki and stayed with Kate, as well as I. We had some fun, Krazy, times! We did all sorts of things like the Aquarium, the beach, Karaoke, Sticky Pics, WW2 tunnels, a neat Lighthouse, and saw an Ice Cream BUS! It was a really great vacation :]

Well, there's so much more to say. But I don't really have time because I need to be getting to bed. I will blog more later, though!

Good night everybody!
