Day 8 | Amber Frame

Yesterday we made our way to Yellowstone bright and early in the morning. It was a long trip but it was well worth it. We were so excited when we saw our first buffalo but then we saw herds and herds of them and it got less exciting until the buffalo was walking right on the road. That buffalo acted like he owned the road he knew everyone was watching him and he had traffic backed up forever. After we waited 15 minutes for the buffalo we made our way to Old Faithful. It was a hour and 30 minute wait for a 2 minute thing but it was worth it. after that we made our way back to camp another long trip but we played cars for most of the time I won three of the four games. Today was also great we finished up the house we were painting after three days. The owner of the house was so happy with our work she kept bringing out watermelon and she also gave us a bag full of Mary Kay stuff. That was her way to thank us even though we didn't need anything from her. You could feel the joy from her she has had a rough life and she needed some help. We also fixed her clothes line because it had been tore down. Then we screwed in a window that had been broke. We also got a toy out of a tree for the little girl for the second time. It was a great time serving the Lord and I'm so glad i could make someone happy.

Day 6 | Amber Frame

Today we almost got finished painting that house we only have one whole side and a window to paint. Even though we were in the heat we really didn't pay attention to it. We were making songs about painting and hoping we wouldn't die because we were so high on the ladders. our group worked so hard together. after we were finished painting for the day we were cleaning up and the little boy john we met yesterday wanted to play football so i started throwing the football with him. it was so fun he loved every minute of it he was actually really good for his age. he threw a football better than i can he also caught almost every throw i threw to him and he is only in first grade. after we were done playing we went to Taco Johns and all of us ordered a prickly pear drink it was funny because Lori saw that it was taco Tuesday so of course we all had to get a taco the guy at the window thought we were crazy. today was absolutely great and even though i was terrified of being so high on the ladder i did it any way because that is what God would want me to do. Now we are off to Yellowstone bright and early tomorrow.

Day 5 | Amber Frame

Day 5, the first day of working and vbs. We started out at the park all of us went and picked up all the trash and we swept off the basketball quart that had glass all over it. After Jarren, William, and I were finished sweeping we walked to the church and met up with the some of the group that was throwing rocks. We went straight to work throwing rocks into a big pile. Bill told the some of us that we were going to go paint a house and after a while of throwing rocks we left to our job. When we got there we met the owner of the house Colleen she was so nice we also met her some of her grandson John, Marcees, and Joseph (pony boy). The two boys John and Joseph ask if they could help us paint so mom let them they loved every second of it. We are now back at the camp for the evening the wind is blowing really hard we were on a tornado watch but don't worry we are not now. It was an awesome day of serving the Lord.

Day 4 | Amber Frame

Today we attended Kenny’s church, it was a great service and there were very nice people there welcoming us. After church we went out to eat then some of us made our way back to camp and the others went to Walmart. While we were on our way back to camp Bill decided we were going to go to Yellowtail Dam. It was so gorgeous up on that mountain. There was a boy swimming out to the rocks and was struggling to make it back in to the dock he started to drown and Jarren dove in the water to save him but a boat went by and grabbed him right before Jarren got to him. We have saw so many horses which for me makes this trip so much better. I am so excited to see what the lord brings the rest of this week.

Day 1 | Amber Frame

Day one was a truly great start, even though we have been sitting in the vans most of the day I have enjoyed myself. We have talked and slept and talked again. The whole day we have been growing closer to those around us those that even though we go to church with we don't get to communicate with often. Its amazing how much you can learn about one person in just 12 hours. We have created new games for the car rides to keep us entertained. Day one was so great i cant wait to see what else God has in store for us.
