Weekend Review

This past weekend was one of the most eventful weekends I had in awhile. Everyday there was something to do.

Friday: On Friday I helped JJ get the youth room ready for his new series coming in a week and a half. We decorated the youth room to match the theme of the series. The new series is called soundtrack. That's about all I can tell you that is involved with this series.

Saturday: This was probably the most exciting day of the weekend. On Sat. our youth group went up to Gathering point church and helped them get ready for their launch date. First we split up into two groups. One that was painting the Sunday school rooms for the kids and another that went out into the community to hand out water and get the gathering point name out into the community. I was with the water group. JJ and Ross dropped us off at the intersection they wanted us to hand out water at. Then they left to go back to the church to oversee things there. The water group then split into four groups and each got onto a medium to hand out bottels of water to drivers in the turn lanes. Some of us got offered half eaten candy bars, different types of business cards and etc. It was neat to see how interested people were in the church and why we were just handing out free bottles of water. Each group got about a cooler full of water and a case to hand out. I don't know about the other three groups but we probably handed out all of our water within the first 30 min. It was funny because Ross thought we would have been handing out water all day because of the cool weather. By the time Ross and JJ got back to the church and started doing something else we called and said that we were out of water. So they then came and got us and we went to go pick up lunch. We ended up getting pizza from the local gas station. After lunch we did some more painting and etc. After a little bit a guy named Doug I think showed up and needed some help installing their last TV monitor. So Cody and I volunteered to help him. So we went up into the attic to run wires and drill the holes for the mount. So Cody and I had to climb back into the corner of the attic to get to the spot where they needed the holes. I'm not lying I think I might have had about a foot and a half of clearance. We also had to move some insulation out of the way so we ended up all itchy and stuff afterwards. But we got it done and the TV looks great. I can't wait to go back this coming weekend and see what they have in store for us. I just hope if I have to back in the attic someone reminds me to wear a sweatshirt or something so I don't get insulation all over me again.

Sunday: Our church had its Missions Sunday where some of the missionaries we support come and talk about whats going on in their mission area. The stories they had were pretty cool. And it was neat to see what they were doing. Also on Sunday I went on to Toby Mac's website and saw that he has a lose my soul music video out now. Click here to see. I think its a pretty neat video. I also got to drive my neighbors corvette.

So that was my weekend.
