Camping

The ladies went camping this past Monday throu Wednesday. Mom took some pictures for our blogs. Here are the pictures that she took. She got all she could on the digital camera before the batteries ran out. This is when they either just got there or are coming back from swimming.
There were two vans. This picture is of our van with everybody that was in it.

Here they are in a room that you sit in and it makes you sweat because of all the heat.

Mom cooking. She was the main cook there. P.S. the other ladies were really surprised that she could cook with a Dutch oven. I don't think they even knew how!!!

A game that was at the campground. Walleyball.

Here the girls are swimming at the pool that was there. They all enjoyed the camping trip. Mom, when she got home, she right away went to bed and slept for about two hours.

Busy week.

My mom and some friends went to pick apples. (Below) I think they kind of overdid it. They started canning them and still are!!! Here are the apples that they picked that day. All the other friends got the same amount and the tree wasn't half way picked!!!
We got our sign out. I'm kind of embarrassed when people drive by. Its made mostly from cedar.

Baptism

Today, Sunday the 10th, Me and two other people got baptized. I was very nervous. When giving my testimony my lips were so dry that when I tried to wet them with my tongue, they would stick together! Anyway, I would like to share my testimony with you. I was born again on June 23. When I was down in Florida I always THOUGHT I was saved because I went to a "GOOD" church with a "GOOD RELIGION". But when I came up here, I had more time to think about my faith. And I realized that I was lost and going to hell. About two weeks after one of my friends up here got baptized, I started feeling very depressed. I could feel a very literal weight on my shoulders. I was angry at anything and everything that moved for no good reason. I didn't know who I stood for. God or satin. So finely I could bear it no longer. I talked to mom and dad about what was happening. They told me that there might be a real spiritual battle going on inside me, and they told me to pray about it. So I prayed for the last three months and knew were I wanted to stand. For God. Anyway, so I asked dad if I could be baptized, and he agreed. So I was baptized with two other new believers in Christ (Tray and Allison). I have to thank God that I moved. If I had not moved I most likely would still be heading for doom.
This is Mike Hankins waiting to baptize.

This is me before I got baptized and while getting baptized.

This is Trey Davis before being baptized and while getting baptized. (Note: I listed the pictures in the order that we got baptized.)


Afterward we all sang some songs and went to a place called Furnace Park. We had food and played lots of fun games. So the overall day was a lot of fun and exciting.

P.S.

I'm getting baptized. I'll tell you all about it after it happens.

Chicks, Chickens, stuff you buy at the store or that you grill :)

We ordered 120 chickens last week. (I think) Seventeen died on the way here. Fourteen died while at our home. So now we've only got 89. (I think) Twenty are laying and sitting hens. The rest are roosters. Ummm. (slobbering) Lots of grilled chicken!!!As you can see. They are fuzzy chicks of many colors. There is one that is pure black and there is one that is blind.
Not all of them. But close.
