I:~o not fun!!!!! other than than that nothings new. oh ya we just got back from Youth Conference this year was AMAZING!!! all the services were awesome but the Wednesday night service was the best. at first it was a normal service but once the invitation got to about 30min. than an hour, than an hour and a half than two hrs. you knew it wasn't normal. it was literally a revival, there was not a dry eye in that room at any point of time.you could see that God was in that room. the pastor who had been the pastor of the church for 35yrs. said he had never seen such a revival. i know we just got back, but i am SO excited about next year. but other than that nothing else is new.

The Capitol!
Today my school went to the state capitol for a field trip. We also got to meet Senator Jim Nielsen. We had so much fun with him. It turns out that he had a meeting to attend later that day with Sarah Palin!! We also got to watch a mini law* be made. The whole trip was so much fun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
Here is a story my mom sent me on e-mail. I really enjoyed it and I thought you would too.
The "W" in Christmas Each December, I vowed to make Christmas a calm and peaceful experience.I had cut back on nonessential obligations - extensive card writing, endless baking, decorating, and even overspending.Yet still, I found myself exhausted, unable to appreciate theprecious family moments, and of course, the true meaning ofChristmas.My son, Nicholas, was in kindergarten that year. It was an exciting season for a six year old.For weeks, he'd been memorizing songs for his school's "Winter Pageant."I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd be working the night of the production. Unwilling to miss his shining moment, I spoke with his teacher. She assured me there'd be a dress rehearsal the morning of the presentation.All parents unable to attend that evening were welcome to come then.Fortunately, Nicholas seemed happy with the compromise.So, the morning of the dress rehearsal, I filed in ten minutesearly, found a spot on the cafeteria floor and sat down. Around the room, I saw several other parents quietly scampering to their seats.As I waited, the students were led into the room. Each class,accompanied by their teacher, sat cross-legged on the floor. Then, each group, one by one, rose to perform their song.Because the public school system had long stopped referring to the holiday as "Christmas," I didn't expect anything other than fun, commercial entertainment songs of reindeer, Santa Claus, snowflakes and good cheer.So, when my son's class rose to sing, "Christmas Love," I wasslightly taken aback by its bold title.Nicholas was aglow, as were all of his classmates, adorned in fuzzy mittens, red sweaters, and bright snowcaps upon their heads.Those in the front row- center stage - held up large letters, one by one, to spell out the title of the song.As the class would sing "C is for Christmas," a child would hold up the letter C. Then, "H is for Happy," and on and on, until each child holding up his portion had presented the complete message, "Christmas Love."The performance was going smoothly, until suddenly, we noticed her; a small, quiet, girl in the front row holding the letter "M" upside down - totally unaware her letter "M" appeared as a "W".The audience of 1st through 6th graders snickered at this littleone's mistake. But she had no idea they were laughing at her, so she stood tall, proudly holding her "W".Although many teachers tried to shush the children, the laughter continued until the last letter was raised, and we all saw it together.A hush came over the audience and eyes began to widen.In that instant, we understood the reason we were there, why we celebrated the holiday in the first place, why even in the chaos, there was a purpose for our festivities.For when the last letter was held high, the message read loud and clear:
"C H R I S T W A S L O V E"
And, I believe, He still is.
