HOLY CW!
Soo.. it’s almost friday and just the thought of leaving here makes me want to cry. i love all the kids in silverpeak SO MUCH, and it’s so amazing to know that God really is using us all the make a difference in the lives of all these kids.. whether we realize it or not.
to go into that farther.. i mentioned that there was a high school girl from silverpeak coming back t goldfield with us to stay the night and hang out with all us palm valley kiddos. well when it came time for the holy huddle (aka chapel) all the groups take turns going up front and sharing with everyone about how their vbs went that day. so when it came time for the gaucho’s (aka team silverpeak) to go up there, Ayla went too. i was joking around with her and said “oh you think you get to come up here too just cause you’re from silverpeak?” and she simply replied by saying “hey man i’ve got a story i wanna share too!” when it came to her turn she told everybody about how she comes to silverpeak every summer to stay with her dad, and that she grew up going to church and vbs stuff and kinda just always knew God was there, she just never really had that intimate of a relationship with him. she then said that it was thanks to the team that was in silverpeak last year that she really decided that she wanted to be closer to God. That because of the examples set by a bunch of high schoolers from arizona, her life was changed. She said that because of seeing how happy we were, and how much we loved Jesus, it made her want to grow closer to God.
HOW COOOOL!! i almost started crying. but hey, that doesn’t really surprise me cause i cry about almost anything on these trips. I’m almost as bad as Greg 
i have some more stories i would love to tell, but i am running out of time before the holy huddle.
daddy, mom, jazz, nan, jess, and sami… i love you guys, and i miss being around all of you crazy heads. (by crazy heads i mean my sisters, not you mom and dad) oh and give wrinkles a bath i don’t want to smell him when i come home!
