Summertime, and the livin' was easy...

Well, summer is pretty much over. I have about two hours left, but they're pretty packed. This summer has been amazing. I learned a lot through camp, church, missionaries, Mrs. Johnson, and missions week. It's been nice to get away from all the studying and stress that awaits me in the school building. But at least this year my worrying will decrease. I have been encouraged by many people and given verses also. Mostly from my mom and Mrs. Scott, but others have too. Even people I don't personally know. The cashier at Old Navy even t0ld me I'd do fine. She was really nice =)
Tonight I won't be posting about the missions week, but you can be ABSOTIVELY POSOLUTELY sure I will! Most likely on Saturdayish.
Well, me and Liz spent the day together. She came over and stayed till after dinner. We finally broke our record of 618, by 206, bringing in a honking 842!!!!!!!!!! Our next year's goal is 1,000 but we'd also be happy with 843 ! Then we had our award, grahm crackers with fluffernutter inbetween and chocolate syrup "drizzeled" on top, then frozen in the freezer, plus a big glass of milk. They were amazing to say the least. And of course we had ice cream sundays after dinner also to celebrate. We played guess who and clue and we started memory but put it away for a Bible Trivia game called "inklings." It was fun. We went to dinner, and she was suprised at the converstaion being so serious, then we took the dog for a walk, played cards and ate our sundays of which I mentioned earlier :)
Well, I'm off to start the evening's festivities of swimming..making a locker sign..doing my devotions..and finishing off my report.
As Pastor would say, and said last night,
Goodnight, and God bless you!
