!!! Samoa !!!

Well next Friday (June 20th) i leave on a two month trip to Samoa, i am so excited! I am going with an organization called teen missions located in Orlando Florida. first i will fly to Orlando, there i will be trained and prepped for two weeks for the mission i will be going on along with the other teens. after What they call The Lords Boot Camp i will fly to LA and from there i will get on a 20 hour flight to the island of Upolu located in the Samoan Islands. once we get there we will drive to the camp sight, unpack and get to work. there we will be building a (felle tella) which i have been told is similar to a open sided meeting house for a local church. We will also be working with the local kids by putting on a V.B.S. After about a month in Samoa we will then fly to New Zealand to meet with another teem for a week. And finally we will take one more trip to Northern Australia to meet once more with a local team there. Then i will get on a flight to LA, and then return back home (August 14th) "good old Phoenix Arizona!!!"

I am so excited and i know that God is going to use me in great ways. I do ask that you pray for safety for me and the group i am going with. Also please pray for the people we will be showing Gods enduring love too, that there ears will listen and there hearts will be open the the word of one and only God.

My Prayer

"May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known upon earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy; for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth. May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him."

Are Beloved Grandpa Great (A Man Of Faith)

Grandpa Great, or as I called him most of the time little Grandpa, Gave us a great example of how God wants us to live are lives, which is something we will never forget. His joyful attitude, gracious heart, spirit of love, sense of peace, grateful mindset, dedicated and strong way of working, and his approach to God are things he showed us and we should show others. God placed him in our lives for a purpose and reason. although we are not with him now for this short time on earth we will rejoice and praise are King of Kings and Lord of Lords together with the angels for all eternity. God has a purpose for are lives and will do great things through us when and if we allow Him to be the center of are vary being. We need to remember him as a man who loved God and loved People, and whose desire was please the Lord with all he was.

We love and miss are beloved Grandpa Great who we cant wait meet again in a place where suffering and pain don't exist.

Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

Isaiah 41:10

The day with Grandpa John

Well today I went over to Grandpa John and Grandma Ginger's house and got a lot done. First I trimmed the tree in their back yard that was scraching up the trailer and hannging over the fence. then we hauled it up to the front patio. after that job was done I helped them put the trailer back in the yard, which sounds easy but was a real pain. then I hopped on their roof and saw that they had some dirty windows which hadn't been cleaned in 22 years, said Grandma Ginger. then I got some cool picts of me on the roof since i was already up there. It was a ton of fun but a lot of work, bit it was all worth it and i even earned some money. Grandma Ginger and Grandpa John are the best and are such a blessing to are family!

Well untill the next post

Later!

Mexico Trip

Well last weekend I took a trip down to Mexico with my church. It was loads of fun and we got a lot accomplished. The ride up was a lot longer than the way back but the wait was well worth it. as soon as we got there we went to work. First we loaded and sorted (by age and gender) over 1,200 gifts and loaded them into different trucks, than we got cooking. we had to prepare enough food to feed 1,500 people in only a day in a half. We made spaghetti all night and all day, which was a long and tiring task. After all the food was prepared and the presents were all sorted by age and gender we went around and told everyone we saw in the pore rock point neighborhood about what was planned latter in the day. Somehow over 2,000 people showed up and it was a crazy, fun filled, mad house. Wile we were busy feeding everyone and giving gifts out we had Spanish speaking pastors going around telling the great news of how Jesus came and payed for the sins they committed by shedding his holy and perfect blood. many came to know the lord and it was well worth the all the hard work. I had a ton of and cant wait until next month when I get to go back and build a house and distribute food!

well yesterday all of the Turners came over for dinner. We hung out and played games and it was a ton of fun. This Friday they are coming over again and we are going to have a talent show, of course I am not able to do much with all of my injuries, but I will probably com up with something. When Friday comes I will take some pictures and post them so you can see all of the fun we had.

well, later and God bless!

I am back!!!

Well it has been a long time sence the last time i posted but a ton of crazy things have happened to me in the last few months. The first thing that happened was that I dislocaand my knee and tore a bunch of ligaments. this happened after a bible study, me and my friend steffin' who is 19 years old and is way bigger than me"were wresteling and when he had my legs tangled up I slipped on the rug and some how my leg ended up out of place. I have been wearing a brace for the last 2 weeks that dose not let me bend my leg.the next freak acedent that happened to me was about week agow when I was riding a quad up at my friend Arron's cabin and some dirt flew up into my eyes, I lost controle of the quad and crashed into some kind of a post going about 40 mph. this knocked me out and the next thing i know I woke up in the hospital. I ended up having a bad concussion and some internal bleeding in my head. I was in the hospital for about 2 days but it felt like 2 years. I am doing a lot better but still have a headache and vary bad whiplash. so sorry for not keeping up with the blog but i will start posting more.
