So we left at 16.00 hrs Friday. Drove. Drove. Drove. Drove. Stopped for "supper" at McDonald's(we had some chips and things in the van, no one was really hungry. I had a milkshake and fries. *dips the fries in milkshake*) Drove. Drove. Got there (my old church) at 23.00-ish. Met Andy. Gave him some of his games, a package that for whatever reason got sent to our house, cookies, and some letters for friends. Then we played carpetball with him. Fun! Then he left around... oh, I dunno, maybe 23.45 hrs then we went to bed at 00.00 hrs.
06.45-ish hrs. I woke up because Paul got up. That always happens. Even though he was on the other side of the room. went to bed again.
07.00 woke up 'round here. Got up. Gave Matt the not-so-grand grand tour of my old church. Then we ate. Then I took a shower. Then peoples slowly came trickling in from our old youth group. That was fun. Then we left for Faith Fest.
Got there at... I don't know when. maybe 09.00 hours. I have no idea. probably somewhere around there. Then we played and had fun till 17.00 hrs, had the closing/award ceremony, then we left at 18.00 hrs-ish. Then we got Jimmy John's and went off towards home. I slept like, the whole way, even though some people were so tired they were goin' crazy. It was great. We got to church at 23.30 hrs, and then dropped off some other peoples that came, then went to bed. So I went to bed today. That was great. And then woke up at 07.00 hrs. Okay, now I'll tell you about the messages!
They said that they would put the speaker's messages on their website soon, so then you can listen to them your self, but 'till then you can go with what I tell you, or something. (I'm totally downloadin' them, and maybe even putting them on here too. That's how good he was.) So for the morning message he did like a testimony kind of thing, with lots of stories and things and clearly put forth the Gospel. I think like four of my friend's friends got saved. Praise the Lord! So then in the afternoon one, he was talking about a lot of stuff, but a lot of it was kinda about how Christians tend to look on things, and how they should look at things. He was talking about how like, how a lot of times people will be like "The devil's working in the church!" But then he was like, "So what? God is working too, and that's way better!" So that was really interesting, and just made me want to not have an out look like the first one, but more like the latter. He also talked about some speaker who was like, "Remember, when you go home, the devil is going home with you too. He's gonna try and stop you from reading your Bible, he's gonna try and keep you from praying..." But then he was like, "But I say, Remember, God's gonna go home with you. He's gonna make you read your Bible, He's gonna make you pray!"
Then today, in the Pastor's message, (morning) He was talking about the faithfulness of God, and I just though it was the perfect follow up to what the speaker at Faith Fest was talking about. Talk about God working! So that was totally gnarly. (yeah, gnarly.) And I think that's it. So I'll go to bed now. 'Cuz I need the sleep. So I'm done now. Oh, but if I don't post his messages, I'll totally give you the link to where you can download them. Okay, done for real now. BYE!
