Well to much has happened since then but I guess I will try to summarize the events that has taken place in my life. I will just talk about what my church I have done in these past few months.
March- Sean,our youth minister, took us on a Spring Retreat out in Panama City for the weekend. Something great happened here! Hallah, my best friend, and John William got Baptized! :)
Also teens worked and helped out at the Ronald McDonald House.
April- Our church had a Spring Festival for the little kids. The teens helped worked the booths and Jordan was the Easter Bunny! :)

June- Impact at Lipscomb University is where its at! :)
July- We went on a road trip! We traveled all the way from Pensacola, Florida to Little Rock, Arkansas, to Birmingham, Alabama, to Atlanta, Georgia, to Orlando, Florida and back. In Arkansas we went to rice depot and put labels on cans.
In Alabama we cleaned rusted shelves at a food place.
In Georgia we gave food to the homeless
In Orlando we finally got to stop from working and went to Islands of Adventure! :)
Overall the trip was a great experience and I am so glad I was lucky enough to go and help all those people. I love to see smiles on the peoples faces when we help them it makes me feel so great inside.
Camp 09'!
Camp was very fun, I enjoyed it. :) The lesson for this week was, WE ARE SECOND. This really got to me. I know understand that God is first in our lives not ourselves. We must always put God first, and ourselves second. :) I AM SECOND.
August- We had work camp this month. We cleaned about 2 yards everyday and we also cleaned a special school. I love to go to go work camp, because I enjoy helping people.I loved seeing them smile when we were done with their yard. It's a great feeling! :)
(skip Sept.)
October- we had a fall festival for the little kids :) This was fun, I mean who doesn't love to see a child smile!? :)
November- we had a fall retreat. This happened just this past weekend. I had a blast! It was quite fun! :) I learned a lot this weekend. There were other churches there as well so we got to make some new friends. I liked this retreat because we got to sing A LOT ha. I enjoying singing. Overall this retreat was a great refresher! :)
Well that's what Gateway has been up to! :)
I love my church and the people there and I hope that I get closer and closer to God and the people there. I am glad for this church. It has made a dramatic change in my life ever since I have joined. Thank you to every one, especially SEAN WHITE! :) Without this awesome youth minister we wouldn't be able to do anything! So thank you Sean! I love you, even though you love to make fun of my slowness ;) hahaha
THANK YOU GATEWAY CHURCH OF CHRIST! :)
