Big A Club.

Well it's official, BIG A CLUB has started! We started this past Wednesday, and it's been really good. We have had over 90 kids everyday. The summer musical practice is going really well. The kids absolutely love the music, and we have a blast during our music class time. :) So, praise God for a good start to Big A! We also have Parents Night Out(PNO) every Friday night from 6:00-10:00. Friday is a tiring day for us here in Tahoe, but the Lord provides strength...and for that we are all thankful.

This week will be busy. Tuesday we're going on a 5 mile hike with the 1-6th graders, so that should be interesting. Wednesday the 3yr olds-Kindergarten will be touring the fire dept. And Thursday is Carnival Day. Last year they had 166 kids. It's the biggest day of the whole summer! We are praying for NO rain, and a smooth day, haha!

Here are some pictures from this past week. Mostly crazy hair day.

The Hike.

It's crunch time here in Tahoe City for all of us summer missionaries. Big A Club starts this Wednesday. We've been going pretty much non-stop all day, everyday. And from what we hear, we're just getting started. I'll let you know if I'm still alive at the end of the week. Haha! :)

We went on a hike last Thursday night, and boy was it a hike. A pure mountain, for sure! The climb up is never fun...but the view from the top is always worth the effort. I wanted to share some pictures :)

Breathtaking!


Mississippi gals :)

Love and miss y'all!

Until next time.
Love God. Love people.

BEAR hunt?

Okay, so I have BIG news!
Last night we chased a REAL, LIVE BEAR!!! I know that's insane! But at the time it seemed like a great idea, haha! It was after the fact that we realized it was a terrible idea...chasing a bear?! Really! It was exciting though, and it was worth it! I'd probably do it again!

I'm having fun! Things are really starting to roll here in Tahoe! We're getting everything together for Big A Club! I worked on musical stuff all day today. Tomorrow a few of us are going to Reno to buy a BUNCH of supplies. We're taking two 15 passenger vans with NO seats if you can imagine. Should be an interesting day!

Pictures of course :)

Got to love self timer pictures.

An afternoon at the beach.

THE BEAR!!!!!

Before our walk to the beach.

Miss and love y'all! Thank you for your prayers!

Until next time.
Love God. Love people.

Only two weeks?

Well I've almost been in California for 2 weeks now.
It'll be two weeks this Wednesday. However, I feel like I've been here for at least a month, haha. I truly am having a great time. God couldn't have put a more wonderful (team) group of girls together. 3 Oklahoma girls, 3 Georgia girls, 2 Tennessee girls, 1 Missouri, and 4 Mississippi girls. I love them all so much. I can already guarantee this summer will be FULL of laughter.

We're still in "orientation". The Big A Club starts June 17th, and that's when we'll be with kids ALL day long. :)I'm in charge of the summer musical! WOW! HUGE responsibility! So say a prayer :) I'm excited about it though, and I know by the end of the summer it will all be worth it. Yesterday we went grocery shopping for 13 girls. We have to start cooking for ourselves this week, and that should be interesting. Haha!

OHHHHHH!!!! And my MOST EXCITING news of the week...Whitney Nicole Rodgers, my best friend, is getting MARRIED!!! :) Yes, her prince Nathan gave her a ring Wednesday night, precious! I love you Whit, and I'm completely happy for you! :)

Here are a few pictures :)

California has HUGE pinecones!

Our family! :)

Thank you for your prayers! Remember to pray for all the summer missionaries too. Miss and love y'all!

Until next time.
Love God. Love people.
