Some Wonderful People

Okay, so I've talked about my youth group, but I haven't really... introduced my youth group, I guess you could say. :D So today I thought I would talk about some of my friends that I've made there. :)

Shelby- She was the first person that I met there on my first day. She was so sweet and welcoming, and talked to me for a little while. :) I usually sit with her for the youth service. :)

Emma- No, not my sister. :D Emma is one of the nicest girls I've met, and a few weeks back we exchanged phone numbers, and text pretty often. :) She's from Sweden, which I think is awesome!! :)

Mariana- Mariana and I started to get to know each other in Bible Study, when we were assigned partners who would check up on each other during the week, see how they're doing, etc. Well, we got each other, and at first we emailed, but now we text. :) She's so sweet. :)

Jacob- This guy is awesome. :) He and I go to the same co-op place, and he's really nice and easy to talk to. :) He plays the drums in the youth band, and he's just a really great guy. :)

Kate- Just recently I've started to get to know Kate better.  Last weekend, Emma, Kate, and I went to get frozen yogurt together, and that was fun. :) She's really nice. :)

Also, I've met two sweet ladies that lead my Bible Study. And my youth pastor, Pastor Joe, is awesome and fun.

My youth group is just... amazing. If you're ever in town, let me know, and I'd love to take you to my youth group. ;)

Here is a picture of some of the people from my youth group. :) We went to the movie, Oz, a few weeks ago. :) 



Have a great weekend! And a wonderful Easter celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ!

Love,
Hannah

My Week!

Hey guys!

How are you? :) I am pretty good, but busy!

Anyway, I thought I would tell you what I've been doing this week. Like make a schedule of what my week was like. :D Okay, here it is:

Thursday, March 14- My family and I left with my little cousin, Will, to go up to my grandparents house. It was a long drive of five hours.  Today was my PawPaw's birthday!

The cake! :D

Friday, March 15 through Sunday, March 17- The weekend was spent hanging out with family, and enjoying the countryside.  My dad came up on Friday night with my aunt, uncle, and other little cousin, Audrey. Oh and also my dog, Sadie. :D Our cousins, Samantha and Jacob, came over on both Friday and Saturday, and that was really fun. :) We drove home Sunday night, all except for my sister, Emma, who came home with my aunt, uncle, and cousins the next day. And on Friday it was Danielle's sister's birthday, and on Sunday it was this girl's birthday. :) 

Emma and Will feeding Patches, the goat! 

Jacob and Ethan fishing!

Exploring! :D

Monday, March 18- this day was spent doing Biology homework, since I was sick over the break and hadn't been able to do it before. :)

Tuesday, March 19- Biology and Spanish class today. :) It went pretty good, at least there were no tests. :D After classes, we went out for lunch, since my dad works from home Tuesdays. Then I came back and did history homework. On Tuesday it was Meg's birthday! 

Wednesday, March 20- Today I did some English homework, and then I had the rest of the day to myself. :)

Thursday, March 21- Had my American Literature and American and Modern History classes today.  :) Plus, another birthday that I can't mention, but you know who you are girl. ;) 

Friday, March 22- today I did most of my Spanish homework, and then worked on my story a little bit and read a lot.  Made plans with two sweet girls from church to get together on Sunday before Bible Study!

Okay, if you got through all of that, you're awesome! I hope it wasn't too boring! :D

Love,
Hannah

Spring Break

Hola mi amigos!  Como estan?  

I am... eh. :( Let me explain. :) 

This week is my Spring Break, as it is probably for some of you as well. :) And, believe me, I was so looking forward to this break to relax and do some fun things.

But Sunday I woke up sick.  I spent both Monday and Tuesday on the couch literally all day, reading books on my Kindle and watching the occasional movie.  I was so frustrated.  And then I couldn't go to youth group last night, which was going to be different because the Junior Highers were invited,  because I'm still feeling a bit sick. :( So my brother and sister went instead.

I was really upset that my spring break had to be spent this way, when all I really wanted to be doing was going on the computer, and doing things I don't feel like doing when I'm sick. :P

But, God does have a plan for everything, so even though I was and still am mad about my spring break, I just have to trust in God.  He knows what He is doing. :) For instance, at Youth Group last night, they played dodgeball, and I absolutely dislike dodgeball, so maybe He planned it so I wouldn't have to be there. :D It sounds silly, but it definitely could be true!  

I hope you guys are having a great week!  Done/doing anything fun?  I'd love to know! :) 

Talk to you guys soon!

Love,
Hannah

Youth Group

Hey guys.

How are you doing?  I'm doing good.

Last night I had youth group... and it was just... amazing.

My pastor was talking about forgiveness and unconditional love. Ever heard the phrase "Forgive and forget?" He said that if we are Christians, our sins have been forgotten. 

Three people got saved last night.  It was so awesome, you could really feel that God was in that room with us.  Everyone was praying for and hugging each other.  

It was also really emotional... I started crying, and that's saying something, because I usually never cry.  One of my friends that I met there recently, she prayed for me. And I just can't really describe that feeling that came over me... like I actually belonged somewhere and fellow Christians loved me for who I was.

Sorry for such a short post today.  I just felt the need to let my thoughts out.  Thanks so much for reading guys. <3

Love,
Hannah 
 
P.S. I am glad because I don't have my early morning English class today!  My teacher is out of town. :) Also, my youth group might go see a movie tomorrow! I'm excited!
