wow the last ten days have been so crazy! the weekend after the musicians left we got about 4 inches of snow. it was one of the laziest weekends we had since i've been here. we sat around and watched movies and did nothing all day long. i did get restless, so i rounded some people up and announced a photo shoot! it was so fun. we did a bunch of random stuff, and then it started snowing really hard, so we all had to run inside! then on sunday, we did more movies and games. over the weekend, a couple of us girls managed to get 5 of the guys to get a pinterest! it was so funny to help them figure it out, and has been even more funny seeing all their pins that they keep on pinning! we had lots of laughs that weekend. :)
this last week was "Holy Spirit" week. our speaker was a pastor from a local church here in denver. it was an interesting week for sure. it was a little rough. some of the stuff that went on was crazy! but i did learn a lot of stuff i didn't know. we had one day where all of us students were prayed over, and that was really encouraging. thursday we had outreach prep, and it was spanish lessons! it got us all really excited for our trip! on friday, the guys and girls split up and we just had a big group talk. it was really good to talk through some stuff with girls that were dealing with the same things! it's so true when the Bible says that no temptation has overcome you that is not common to man. it was a sweet time.
this weekend four of us girls came down the mountain. holly's sister heather was so kind to let us invade her apartment and hang out! we had lots of girl time watching movies and laughing and eating ice cream. i am so going to miss these wonderful friends that i have made. but no thinking about that now! we still have lots of time to be together. :)
next week is thanksgiving. it will be so weird not being home! i'll miss all the food you make, mama! especially all the dessert! we will be having a big thanksgiving dinner party up at eagle rock. and i've heard it's pretty amazing.
outreach phase is coming so soon! i was given the job of "worship leader" for the team. it was the one thing that makes me nervous! God has a way of stretching us for sure! our team is getting so close. i know it's going to be a super productive trip. we're going to do CRAZY cool things for Jesus. i have about 9 days until the remainder of my funds are due. i'm hoping to raise $1000 in support! if you would like to help me just send me a message on facebook or an email. alexandra.price.5941@mail.linnbenton.edu
of course i covet your prayers as well! pray for us especially the week after thanksgiving as that will be our outreach prep week where we learn all our dramas and do intensive prep!
well, hopefully i won't wait so long before writing again! love you guys!
