New Stuff

Youth working at Feed My Starving Children!

So life has been laid back lately, but I have been thrown a few full days too!

Last weekend I chaperoned a youth trip to the cities, and it was awesome!  I really got to know the youth, and saw how awesome they have become.  We voluneered at We listened to many speakers (including Bob Lenz), saw multiple bands play (like Captive Free), and played a lot of catch phrase!  The best part was the speaking because of the heavy topics that they tackled, such as abstinence from sex, drugs, and alcohol.

This is the stage at Youth Encounter in Minneapolis

I have been sporadically substituting as well.  I subbed on Thursday for our Fantastic Fives class (after Preschool but before Kindergarten...), and tomorrow I am subbing for the Enrichment program (the place where the Preschool, Fantastic Fives, and Kindergarteners go after their half day of school is done if their parents don't pick them up right away).  It should be a fun afternoon!  I have been in about once a week, and have some days set up in advance as well.

This is just part of one of the
freezers holding Danish!

I baked yesterday too.  The date for our sale is approaching: it's this saturday...as in...3-1/2 days from now! We have over 70 (which was the number we were aiming for), but we want more!  We have already sold 5, and 3 more are leaving the house tomorrow.  That means I am going to bake another 6 on Thursday or Friday to have those extras :)  We are out of freezer space right now, so we have to wait until later to bake so that they don't get old!  The danish are selling for $9 a piece, or $26 for 3.  We are also pre-selling some if we run out--we'll bake next week too if needed.  We are excited to have all proceeds donated to my mission in Macau!  We will probably make a sign with 丹麦面包 written on it, and/or "Made for Macau!"  I will also be including my prayer card and/or a thank-you note with each Danish!  Too bad I missed out on putting those in the Danish that have already left!

All in all, I am fundraising, but feel strange doing it during Lent...thus my fundraising is slow at this poing.  There is a council meeting coming up in April at which I will present my missionary position to the council at Memorial.  We'll see where it goes from there.

The wireless internet at my house is not working very well, so I am going to save this quickly before I lose internet connection! I'll try to add photos before, though!
