I'm sorry It's taken me so long to update on the mission trip. I literally went from NY to Maryland for Teray's wedding. Then from Maryland to Greensboro to jump in Marcus's car to go to Asheville for him to preach at my parent church. It was a busy couple of days, but I'm thankful for all my safe travels.
The mission trip went so well. The kids were so sweet and receptive to Jesus. They were so cute! The culture is so different up there they all seem so much older than what they were. Sometimes you have to grow up fast because of different circumstances. I'm going to add a slide show of them in this post so that I won't have to cut any of the great pictures out.
While I was there I had the privilege of seeing Mary Poppins on Broadway. Thanks to Lisa for getting us yes, FREE tickets!! A couple of us got to go and see a great show. It was a treat! Of course NY had great shopping and food. If any of you are interested in this mission trip let me know. It's a great start to missions and you would love the kids and people that I go with.

Off to my next adventure was Teray's Wedding. She was such a beautiful bride. She did such a great job planning her wedding. When I say she did everything, I mean everything!!! She made the invites, she made the party favors, she planned the ceremony, and she showed up that day with a beautiful smile on her face. I enjoyed every preparation minute with her and the bridesmaids. I had to read scripture in the wedding (Genesis 2:18-24 and 1 Corinthians 13:1-3). It was a difficult task because it was right after she walked down the isle. She was beautiful and grinning and Elliot, the groom had a tear rolling down his face. Now try to read after that! Thank God I got it together. What a great wedding! I wish them all the best! I love you both!
The beautiful bride and INow I'm getting ready for my Mendenhall Volleyball Camp 2008 that will start on Monday. I have 2 others that are doing it with me and hopefully more for me this year. I'm working on just having the camp and not running the camp in the future. I have about 16 campers coming so we are excited. I'm going to miss Portia doing it with me this year. We could never set a date that worked for the both of us. We'll work it out for next year for sure girl!
Well I'm off on another adventure this weekend with Aaron Bentley, my old roommate in college. I'm headed to see her tomorrow and then we are going white water rafting on Saturday. Yes, can you believe that! I'm sure I'll have stories to tell. I'm a little nervous because she made the statement that we were going on one of the higher levels. I hope I'll make it :-)! PRAY FOR ME!!
