Weekend with Friends

 Last weekend we went to Alabama, so my dad could preach, we had a lot of fun, and I took a bunch of pictures. We  went to Ft.Ruckers Army Aviation Museum. I took a couple of pictures while we were waiting for our food at Taco Bell. I love the fact (not)  that its called fast food, but it takes 30-45 minutes to get your order of food.
 He got bored while waiting for his food.
 Playing volleyball.
 Playing volleyball some more.
 All of the Blackburn and Unger children. 
We use to live two houses down from the Ungers,
so we were fairly close friends you could say.
 Entering the base gates of Fort Rucker.
 Helicopter!
 Grace, Benji, and Timothy.
 I thought this little sign was cute.
 This is looking in from the back of  helicopter lots of seats.
 Gracie and I, Gracie followed me around almost the whole museum.
 I thought this was cool putting bombs on an helicopter.

 Looking in at the Hall of Fame!
 I had to take the next 3 pictures cause I was laughing at the monkey with wings,
a grasshopper smoking, and a donkey wearing a hallo.
Hope you get a laugh out of them like I did.



 Jonathon and Caleb = double trouble.
 Kelsey and I.
Kelsey's dad was making fun of me cause I was in a helicopter.
So I told him I would drive a helicopter if I could shoot something. 
So my mom has a picture, somewhere were I'm looking out the front, with my game face on. 
Needless to say the picture is staying private.
 Back in the day when women had to wear skirts for uniforms.
 Pictures of our military men.
 Another picture of the women.
 A helicopter display.
 Our men drew this, It's a piece of concrete our men drew on ,when they were leaving some country. 
I forgot which country it was.
 Gracie.
 It's Taco Bell for lunch.Mmmmm a five-layer burrito for me.
 This is what happens when Buddy gets a hold of my camera.
 Benji and Timothy
 Me and Buddy I love my brothers so much, even when they are aggravating.
You know we don't care or love somebody in life cause there perfect, never aggravate us, 
cause us problems,or sometimes outright just be a pain. 
We love people in life so we can help each other, and do what God put us on this earth for.
God put us on this earth to love, encourage, help, be a blessing, and sometimes sacrifice for others. 
I'm so glad that my parents have not always done what they wanted to.
I'm glad they have loved, encouraged, helped, and sacrificed for me. 
And that is what I try to do even though most of the time I let little thing aggravate me, 
and my attitude gets in the way...I really do try. 
 Caleb,Benji, and Timothy all dressed up for church.
 Gracie tired from the walk around the museum.
 Me, well being me goofing off!
I have no clue were he gets his goofiness from!!!

S.M.I.T.E.

SMITE stands for  Summer Missionary Institute of Training and Evangelism. It is a one week camp where you are taught how to effectively run a 5 day club. You go to a community and knock on doors inviting kids to come to club. Then, Monday through Friday, you hold an 1 hour club somewhere in the community. Whether its on the playground or under a big shaded tree. Everyday we tell them a Bible story and a missionary story (this year the missionary story was Mary Slessor). The kids that come sing songs, learn a bible verse, and win prizes for  bringing friends or being still during the Bible and missionary stories.We did bible clubs every day from 2pm till 3pm. We had about 4-9 children come every day. About 4 or 5 said they trusted Christ as their Savior. For us teens that went to camp our mornings started at 6am and ended at 11:30pm or midnight. We had to be up by 6am do our personal devotions, get dressed for the day, and clean our dorm by 7:00. Breakfast started at 6:45am we had till 7:45am to meet at the church. So, during that hour for breakfast we normally studied for our tests  while we ate. Then from 7:45am till 8:00am we had preaching. Then it was off to class. We had 3 classes with a few minutes break between each class to run to the concession stand which was 2 building away. So from 8:00am-12:45 we had 3 classes and a one hour demo of what we would be doing at our bible club that afternoon. Then we had lunch from 12:45 till 1:15pm. At 1:15pm all girl meet in the church and the boys meet in the lunch room. We were on a team which consisted of 2 or 3 girls and then a leader and a counselor. All boys and girls are separate except for meals and church and your so busy there is no time to get into trouble. So from 1:15pm - 2:00pm you study the bible story, missionary story and verse you will be teaching the children in your club that day. Then from 2 pm till 3pm you have time to drive to the location of your bible club get set up. Then at 3pm the children show up and you hold a club from 3pm till 4pm. Then we have till 5:30pm to get back to the camp, get a shower if needed, and get ready for church. At 5:30pm dinner is served till 6:30pm. At 6:30 groups start singing which means find a seat church is fixing to start. Then from 6:30pm till about 8:30 we sing, have preaching, and then have a 5 minute break at 8:35 we meet back in the church to sing and have another preacher. Church normally gets done at 10:30pm or 11:00pm. Then we have 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much time Uncle Jerry thinks we need to get ready for bed and study or if we want to visit with the preachers. We are back up at 6am bright and early the next morning. Below are some picture of the week I really enjoyed my week at smite. I went with my oldest brother and some other teens from my church. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed the week
