Lectureships at ACU







This week was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! It was lectureship week here at ACU. I have never felt more buys in my life, but from Sunday thru Wednesday, I got to be with a lot of Oregon people, I got to sing on the lectureship praise team and I got to listen to some amazing speakers!!! Nancy and Mark Love came of course, and Pete and Zach Wilson were here (I even got to sing with them one night, it was so cool), Ben Ries and Aaron Metcalf were here, Jay and Carrie Hawkins and Bob and sherry (my sisters parents-in-law). They were all here and it was so wonderful to see and spend time with everyone. I miss them soooo much already!!!

Nancy, Katie Beth, Abi and I went out on Monday to celebrate Nancy's Birthday. We had a very nice lunch (more like sweets and Tea:) ), and then we went and bought jewelry. We had such a blast!

Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday, I was out and did not go back to my room from 8am till 11pm!!!! I had the busiest schedule imaginable, but I loved the classes and keynotes, they were sooooooo Great. Like I said before, I was on the praise team and that was fun. A lot of people thanked us for blessing them and that was sweet, I just felt so blessed to do it this year.

One of the nights we sang, me and my friend Jacob got out of choir and had a long ways to go to get to the coliseum to sing in a matter of minutes, well we didn't even have to step outside and all we could see was a solid sheet of rain pouring off the roof. We had no choice but to run as fast as we could for a few blocks to get to the coliseum. Needless to say, we were soaked and yes, we still sang:) I was able to ring out my shirt, pants AND tights!!!! And there was about a half inch of water in my shoes:) It was sure an experience I will never forget, the whole week was one I'll never forget!

Oh, and I don't know if you can tell, but that picture is of the "road" (more like a river) outside my dorm!!! and thats not a shallow road, its about 2-3 feet deep.
