Finally a Post!!!!

And a big fat juicy one too! I have fallen a little behind in the blog area. Mostly it was because I went on vacation for 3 weeks and then started school. :-P Well now I have my long promised blog about Ticul and Michigan.


On July 14th or 15th a group of 17 people departed from Manantial de Vida full of excitement and apprehension for the upcoming weeks. I was on of those fortunate 17 and the youngest of all of them. I can’t find words to express how much of a blessing this experience was. As we got to know the people there we felt the connection as brothers and sisters in Christ. That sounds sappy, I know, but it was just so great to be there and work on the church together. Mixing cement is a great workout by the way. :-D We also grew together as a group so much. The bond between us all multiplied, tenfold (or more). Later on I will post some pictures. I can’t right now because the computer’s not working. ☹
Three days after this absolutely exhilarating and heart filling trip, I took another grrrreat trip to Michigan. This trip was a breath of fresh air. It was absolutely relaxing and just wonderful. It was marvelous to see my family up there and see how everybody's doing. I spent two days with my mother at the cottage. We just chilled, swam, and I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was great. I think Rowling had a finished of a superb story and intricate mystery strongly and I absolutely loved it. When I am positive that everyone interested has read it, I will explain in greater detail. Anyway my mom and I had a fantastic time cooking. We made delightful little delicacies to eat for each other. Mmmm. Uncle Tom, Aunt Sheryl, and Erin came down to their cottage, too. We had a lot of fun with them as well. A blast, in fact!
The third day, (I think) Jane and my dad arrived. Having finished my book, I was excited and ready for action. We tubed ad skied and whipped around all day. The next day Auntie Lou, Uncle Buck, James, and Molly arrived at our little cabin. Molly learned how to tube and even got flipped off. James also learned and got flipped off. And Auntie Lou was used as a pawn to knock Uncle Buck off his tube. Playing games like sequence, sevinpold, and apples to apples was blast, as well! Many laughs, many laughs :-D
The next few days were spent in Ann Arbor chillin' with family. Thanks everyone for making my trip grrreat!

School has started and I'm back in the swing of things again. I have good teachers great classes and I'm happy to see my friends again. Any questions... feel free to ask!
