• Last week was the girls God squad conference (the God squad is what we call the group of girls that are committed and really want to learn more about God that come to the center). it was amazing. It was one of those things were you are learning about yourself enough to realize YOU can’t do it and are not qualified to help anyone else, and yet…God puts you there to step up and give.

  

  Monday, Lesley came and spoke to the girls, and let them ask questions, to which led to many interesting discussions and insights…we jumped all over that Bible:).

  

  Then we ended up running…(i would say 10 blocks but i think i am exaggerating) forever in the rain because i don’t know how to find a parking place for a big van…

  

  Stopping to flirt with those white men in Nordstrom… (the girls: Wrianna, Indashia, Lutece, Erica, and Kenisha)

  

  And enjoy a meal at the Old Spaghetti Factory. since i could not explain a caesar salad, they let us sample it, and since the girls didn’t like spumoni (sp?) ice cream they ended up bringing everyone vanilla too…but the girls decided they still liked the waiter better at the Golden Corral because he could rap. All you can see of our waiter this time is his black shoes. oh well.

  Tuesday we went to the University of Indianapolis, took over their weight room and pool, and then hooped up on the world.

  

  

  Then took a break to eat my mom’s great cookin’ and hear some good stuff…

  

  Wednesday we went to the mall to buy some stuff for our mom’s…can’t you tell?

  

  Thursday Erica, Indashia, Kenisha, Lutece, Mrs.Wood and left for Wisconsin…to visit Sara at Northland Baptist Bible college. When i told the girls to dress comfortable for the 10 hour drive…they took me seriously. This was Indashia’s “onesy” which she proudly wore into Speedway, Shell, and McDonalds in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. (sorry you have to turn sideways)

  

  Other than almost hitting a skunk, the trip was good and i learned almost all the words to “Chicken noodle soup”

  and alot of random pictures that happen in 10 hours…

  

  and then we finally got to see Sara!!!

  

  The girls were amazing, incredible and super mature the whole time…well, at least in public:). We were so proud of them. We went to classes (Greek, Counseling, World history), chapel, breakfast, lunch, and dinner and all that good stuff you do at college.

  

  The girls introduced a new way to sing the Greek song, played around with the Dean of Students (Erica regularly threatened to “take it outside”), and even got Mrs.Wood to dance around a bit.

  

  we will always remember this trip. two of the girls said it was their best vacation ever.

  

  and then there was always the 10 hour trip back…which you probably shouldn’t explain all of…

  

  Thanks God, for an amazing time.
