So I know I know again it has been quite a long time since I have blogged last! Maybe its a good thing since I am staying busy and out of trouble...but no.. I made a commitment and I know some are using this as their main way to stay up to date with what I am getting myself into!
The month of June was filled with weddings galore!
June 6th was Cody and Jess' wedding.
June 13th was Drew and Sarah Wisner's wedding. I was an usher in that and had a blast!
June 20th was Bob and Dana's wedding. I was a personal attendant but sadly got pretty sick with a virus that attacked my throat. Dave and I made it to the rehearsal and dinner but I was so sick and in urgent care most of the day Saturday, I was only able to make it to the reception. Dave met me there later, since he had yet another wedding that day of his friend Bridget! We got some good slow dances in... which was kinda fun considering Dana and Bob's reception was at the same location ours will be at in 7 months... so we got some good ideas!
As for church news... I preached on June 7... and the branches and the Vine. It was a tough sermon for me to grasp... but the Holy Spirit did a great job in guiding me through it! VBS took place last week. It actually was my first time experiencing VBS. Of course I had done many programs at Mt. Olivet of the same nature but not an actual VBS program. We had about 130 kids.. and 66 adult volunteers! It was a blast! I had no real responsibilities until Friday when I got to teach Moses parting the Red sea. We had a good time building a parted red sea with a blue tarp... lots of duck tape... brown paper, and a spray bottle.
Teachers played Pharoh's soldiers coming after "moses's people"... the little ones got kinda nervous but were ok in the end. We had a good time.
I am now planning a sermon for NEXT Sunday... July 12th, the beheading of John the Baptist. I am taking the stance of giving into pressure and where at can lead you. The passage is Mark 6: 14-29. Check it out!
My internship is coming to an end.... only a month and a half left! Its so crazy how fast the time has gone. and 2 of those weeks I will be on the National Youth Gathering in New Orleans (July 21-27) and then a Youth works trip to Cinicinatti (August 1-8). My last Sunday is August 16th. It will be a sad Sunday but a positive reflection of the GREAT year.
It has been a busy month of Engagments!!! My friend and bridesmaid Ashely and her fiance Ryan got engaged June 12th and plan to have their wedding this Sepetermber 26th! SO FUN!
My Seminary friend Amber and her fiance Kevin got engaged June 12th as well... but have not yet set a date yet!
Finally a friend from Gustavus and fellow Rochester friend Jenna and her fiance Donny (Mr. thang) got engaged a week and a half ago! Oh so exciting.
As my parents say- "your at that age"
Next will be baby showers... WHOA WHOA... slow down!
This weekend is the 4th of July... no real big plans but hope to see some family and friends. More updates later.
Alright.. so for the most part we are all up to speed. And now since summer has slowed things down a bit I will hope to keep everyone updated. For now... enjoy the summer days.
