Last week was pretty crazy...since I got here on Saturday, there's been something going on every night of Champion's opening week. I've got a ton of pictures...and I'll put a few up here, but I'll put most of them on Facebook. This first post is going to be kinda long haha.
First of all, I present to you my new home:
I've got two really sweet roomies (Ashley and Megan) and I'll get some pics of them later. I was going to be rooming with my friend Rachel and Breanna (another freshman) but I guess God wanted me in a different room because they had me switch. It's all good though, they're awesome!
Monday night, we left in the bus for a ranch where we got to hang out and play volleyball, basketball, go boating, and play around in the game room with air hockey and all that. After we ate, we drove up to this chapel on the property and had a song service (which I LOVED), a short testimony time where a few students and teachers and even our chef stood up and gave both praises about God and wisdom to us Champion students. Then Pastor Capaci preached a short sermon on "Enduring Hardness as a Good Soldier". It was a really neat service.
Tuesday, I had an English placement test (and I got into the higher class!), Orientation...which took FOREVER, and then I registered for classes. I have some awesome classes:
Spiritual Formation
Personal Evangelism
English & Grammar
Fundamentals of Speech
The Poetic Books
Women of the Bible (my favorite so far! Mrs. Sepe, the dean of women, teaches it. She is one amazing lady and she just really loves us girls.)

I also have choir which is pretty fun, and I signed up to sing with a group for Chapel.We have a chapel service everyday Monday-Friday so there's alot of chances for students to get to do special music in them.
Tuesday night was "Movie night with the Preacher" which is once a month. We saw "Letters to God". It's a story about a little boy who has cancer and encourages everyone around him to get closer to God. It's a really sweet movie. :) Here's we are with our pillows and snacks! Left to right is Rachel, Breanna, and of course me!
Wednesday we went bowling, and I'd have pics but I forgot my camera. :(
Thursday was the Traveler's baseball game...also the first baseball game I've ever been too!
Friday we went to the Little Rock mall and the IMAX and saw this cool movie about rollercoasters. It made you feel almost like you were actually on a coaster! There was a guy in an airplane there. I might be getting my MRS degree a little early. :D
Saturday I went visiting/soul-winning with all the other freshman. I enjoyed it, but I'm not as confident as I'd like to be at it yet. That's why all us freshman have to take Personal Evangelism- it's a class that teaches you how, and each new student is also paired up with an older one as their trainer. I don't know who mine is yet but I'll be finding out this week!
Saturday night we played "Minute to Win It" in the church auditorium, and it was too funny. I had to put an oreo on my forehead, slide it down to my mouth with no hands and eat it....and do three of those in one minute. I only succeeded once haha.
Classes started last Thursday, and all in all its been a really great week! God provided me a job at McDonald's and I have orientation for it today. Thanks so much for ALL of your prayers...I can't say that enough. :) Here's my address for all of you that have been asking! (I'll be posting at least once a week now so keep checkin in here!)
