Up to Speed

So after the trip to Texas, I came home and slept in my own bed for 5 days and then left early Monday for Church Camp. This should have been a week with no major problems other than trying to remind the teens to "make room for Jesus" with all their new summer camp romances. Instead, we had drama to the max.

Before leaving, the youth group leader had his brand new car stolen and torched on Saturday morning. The pastor went to the emergency room with a crushed pinkie finger after a trailer/jet ski fumble. (Being the pastor's daughter's roommate, I went along until the wee hours of the morning.) And Sunday morning was the last day for the pastor (he had officially resigned 2 weeks prior and Sunday was his last day.)

We also had the extra drama of having 2 of our students get caught smoking pot in their dorm room on Wednesday. SHEESH! How stupid can you be. When you are surrounded by miles and miles of trees in the mountains of VA, you don't stay in your enclosed dorm room to smoke anything, especially pot! They were promptly sent home and we went on with the week.

On Thursday, the only existing keys for the church van were missing (and thankfully found the next morning).

On Saturday, Paige left her wallet in a Chick-fil-A in South Carolina.....only we didn't figure out it was missing until we were 2 hours away. So we had to think fast to figure out a way to get it since Chick-fil-A is closed on Sunday and she would be on vacation on Monday. (A friend in South Carolina helped out!!)

And on Sunday, I figured the week had so much drama and I had been at worship time every night for a week, so I slept in and totally skipped church!!

I have been back for a week. This past week I taught the Kindergarten Class of Vacation Bible School at my church every night. We had one of the teens from church spend the night most of the week. And the grand finale of this post....we spent most of Wednesday night "flamingo-ing" the pastor's house (his daughter's idea!)

The same night, we also toilet papered the youth pastor's house...TWICE! The first one was on Facebook before 2AM....the girls cleaned it up and figured that he would NEVER suspect that happening twice in one night....so they went back and did a more thorough job the second time! bahahahaha

That's my life in July in a nut shell. The next few weeks should be WAY more boring. :-D
