Un-Polkadotted!

That's right! I don't look like a plucked chicken anymore and i'm not itchy! We got to move back into our apartment and we haven't had any problems so far. Praise the Lord! Now if we can only semi-organize the chaos.

I am at the laundromat again and not quite ready for another round of campers yet. Last week was my second group and I got to lead them at the Korean church by myself. Next week I'll do the same, but I think we will start on building the altar.. so cool!

Gosh there is so much that has happened that I would love to tell you all about but I'll keep it brief. 
The nightly chapels have been going so well. We have some amazing worship leaders and the skits we get to do are hilarious. I get to speak to the students on Tuesday nights after the weekly video and on Thursday nights we do a art/drama presentation that is incredible. (Look up the "New Creation" video on youtube. We use a big canvas instead ;) Julia you would love it!)

Here are some other tidbits i would like to mention:
1. I ate Indian food
2. I ate Korean food
3. My mom and cousins came this weekend and we had a blasty-blast  ;)
4. I've gone through three watches so far
5. I invented something called a banana boat...ask me about that

I love you all!

Attaaack!

Sorry to all of my lovely fans (ha!) for not blogging sooner... as you see i am currently under attack. Yes, attack. The war started Saturday night when my skin started itching and Sunday morning was when the full out seige began. The foe?...BEDBUGS. I woke up covered in red bumps that looked like chicken pox and itched like cuuraazzy! The friends i have made here are amazing to say the least. They helped me find a way to the hospital and are still helping me disinfect the room. I am actually writing this from the laundromat while I wait for our (hopefully) clean sheets to dry. We think we've almost defeated the enemy but i still look like a plucked chicken unfortunately. More on that saga later when i figure out how to get pictures on here.

Other news: I felt like a superhero yesterday at our worksite. Before we even began the sheetrocking... ahem, i mean "sharockarockin" one of the adult leaders fell on a brick and gashed a hole so deep in her kneecap that i could see the muscle i think (sorry.. too much?) I felt like the cheesy people on those first aid videos because i did everything right. Cleared the scene, got directions to the nearest hospital, cleaned the wound, and wrapped it, and tranported the victim to the emergency room. She had to get stiches, but it was awesome.

The night chapels have been going somewhat smoothly. We lost power last night but got it back right in time to start. It was a VERY cool service, however  I will have to blog later about that one... the sheets are almost done.

Sorry for any typos. My itchy hands are my excuse.

Love!

my summed up summer (so far)

This summer i am working for an organization called Teameffort. It's a missions camp for jr high and sr high students and i, along with 9 other staff will be leading the missions projects. I don't know if anybody really reads this but this can at least be a good way for me to remember this summer. So off we go...
At the moment i am sitting with two of the 4 girls im living with in our kitchen. We have our own cottage/apartment-type place on none other than Myrtle Beach, SC! One block away from the beach but two feet away from creepers no matter where we go. Seriously, last night while we went to laser tag a random shirtless guy walked into our apartment and terrified megan who was the only one home. We have suspicions that he stole Natalia's grapefruit juice. Either that or our guys staff did. There are 3 of them plus Joe and Caitlyn- our directors. 
So far we've just been setting up camp- the Pier (our hangout/snack place), building bunkbeds and massive quantities of benches (one blister so far and many other scrapes), and stocking our worksites. 
This sunday is when our first batch of campers come and a guy on my staff named Gus and I will be leading a team of about 15 youth in sheetrocking the ceiling of a Korean church and putting in insulation. I've become very Lowes literate over the past few weeks and I feel so boss about it! Ever heard of tapcons and button caps? Yeah, didn't think so. Ill try to figure out how to load pics from my camera on here to show you the humongoid checkout process a few days ago. The receipt would make your knees weak. 
That's all that's on my brain right now. Probably because it's past my bedtime. Im going to tell my fam to try to stay updated with me through this.. so if you guys have any questions, ask away! 
Tomorrow's agenda holds skit practices and some painting... interested? Ill let you know about it tomorrow! It's intense!
