Life.

Today I woke up and really missed the beach.
Marissa had the same inkling and after lunch at Sonic... We decided to go beach hunting.
We found Lake Saint Louis about 45 minutes away, when we got there it was one of the richest associations I have ever wondered around.
we drove around each neighborhood trying to find any sort of access point that wasn't a large mansion house.
As we got more and more disappointed, we got more desperate. We finally asked a party boat if there was any public access anywhere. They said there wasn't but there was a community center on the water, and if we didn't get questioned and didn't stand out we probably could hang around there.
We did just that.
There was a smallll beach at the center and roped off point in the water where we could swim. No one asked us who we were or where we were from. We stayed there for a few hours enjoying the water :)

The past few weeks have been a mixture of feelings.

We had a group from wisconsin here that was so draining because the leaders didn't respect our position here.

Central Wesleyan (My home church) came the week after that. It was so great seeing old faces and reconnecting with them, and meeting a lot of new people.

This week We had a team from Georgia and a team from Alabama.
Both are very respectful and nice during work projects, but once it's fun time they don't do what they are told are the rules what so ever. it's pretty frustrating for my coworkers but i havent seen it for my own eyes.

Two more work weeks!!
I'm so ready and excited to move back to Michigan and settle down for a long while, while still pursuing Youth Ministry.
God really has revamped my love for youth and energy to work with them. I have been pushing it away for awhile because of the public speaking part, but God has really placed it on my heart that that's what he has for me.

I plan on moving back to Michigan on the 28th, and for the first few weeks staying with my best friend, Missie, and my sister, Rachel. I will be working on finding my own apartment and a full-time job. I also hope to have an internship with a Youth Group back home.

Anyway, just a small update.

Please continue to have me in your prayers :)
