Week of Theology

This week we had Theology. Our professor was Jim Paulson. This was a pretty heavy class. There was a lot of information to take in but I found it really interesting. Jim is a really funny teacher. I like how he did not impose his theology views on us but was open to tell us what he believed and what other beliefs are out there.

We had youth again this friday. Justin had told the leaders of the youth group that we would do a dance for the youth to start off the dance night. At first I was kind of mad at Justin for volunteering us for that but we did it anyway. We did not get a whole lot of practice time but we pulled it together in time. We did a 80's hip-hop style dance. We dressed ridiculous and just had a good time with it. The kid had lots of fun that night and made up some sweet dances.

The olympics is coming up this wednesday. I am getting kind of nervous for it. I don't really know what to expect yet. I have a lot of stuff to work on during the trip which is adding to my stress. We have two papers and a book due right after the trip. We will have days off and time in the evenings to work on homework but it will still be pretty crammed.

I am really enjoying the people here. I find I am starting to see how much I appreciate these friendships and the community here. I am starting to realize that it is going to be really hard saying goodbye to people. I know that is still a long way off but I know time moves fast.

Hanging out with the girls

This past tuesday and thursday we had class with Jim Badke. The rest of the week I spent a lot of time reading in preparation for Theology class. We had to read the first 23 chapters of Christian Doctrine. It was a pretty dry book but I liked the challenge. It was nice to have a week where we had time to get some work done.

Although we had a nothing fun planned for this past week, we made the opportunities to get out of camp and hang out. Kristie opened up her house to me, Hailey, Ellie and Katie so that we could get some work done and just hang out somewhere different. We also went out with some girls later that week. It was me, Kaitlyn, Katie, Hailey and Ellie. We went to starbucks and then came back and just sent time together just us girls. I value the time I spend with the girls and it was nice to get out with them because sometimes I get tired of being in the same place for so long.

I am loving my room more and more. God has done a lot of work in the relationship between me kaitlyn and Hailey. They are such amazing women of the Lord and we have grown closer together through our love for God. We pray together, learn together and laugh together and I enjoy their company in our room. I am starting the better understand why God put us three together.
