Ok so I am guilty of possibly being the worst blogger in the world. I think I may be able to blame it on the fact that I have been the victim of the false belief that every blog needs to impart some sort of great wisdom or contain a great story of adventure or discovery and so the task of writing just becomes too great to finish even before I start it. It is either that or simple busyness or a little laziness, although I may stand that it is some sort of combination of all of the above. At any rate I am sorry for the lack of writing and hope to do it a lot more now.
So much has happened since I last wrote and most of it is all written in my newsletters so I think it is just best to start from this moment without backtracking too much. If you don't by chance get my newsletters and would like to recieve them, then feel free to email me at artinmotion09@gmail.com and I will start sending them to you.
Ok so this weekend I am house, cat, dog, and plant-siting the irwin's house. If you wonder how on earth I could be plant-sitting then you obviously haven't seen the Irwin's backyard garden or should I say backyard garden of eden, it is absolutely beautiful and an adventure to take care of. Anyways before they left they actually told me to have people over, which i definitely don't think one hears very often, "oh yeah by the way, have a party while i'm gone," but since the irwin's are pretty much amazing it makes sense. So being the good apprentice that I am ;) I had three missionary friends over for pizza, cookies, a movie, and basically just a whole bunch of fun. Just getting together to laugh and hang out blessed me and encouraged me in such a great way, and made me so very thankful for my brothers and sisters in Christ!
Today has been a fairly relaxing day, but I am so very excited for tomorrow! Tomorrow the church here is getting together to have baptisms at a church member's pool! I know of at least four of the youth that are a part of those getting baptized and two of them are the girls that I am living with!!! I am flying high and so extremely excited for them! After the baptisms the church will eat a meal together and just rejoice over the newest additions to our family! I know this has to be hard for these kids to forsake all inhibitions and come fully to Christ especially when most of them don't come from Christian homes, so I ask that all of you please keep all of them in your sincerest prayers. I will hopefully have some pictures of it to share afterwards too:) I just want you all to know that I truly thank God from the very bottom of my heart for each and every one of you! Also my prayer for all of you is as Romans 15:13 says, " May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit!" God Bless guys!
