Trudy went home to be with the Lord. She is soooo very happy now. Trudy has been one of my best friends for over 11 years. Earlier this year she found out that she had severe liver cancer. She is one of the sweetest gentle little ladies that I knew..... I do not know why she had to die this painful death........ But I know that she is resting in the arms of Jesus........ She was saved and baptised only a month ago...YAY!!!!!!
We all miss her so very much,
Heidi

Oh really cool fact about spanish, YOU ONLY CAPITALIZE NAMES!!!! Yay I knew there was a country where i could survive with my english skills(or should i say lack thereof)
I am very happy about that... It made my day :)

School starts tomorrow...

Hey all,
School starts tomorrow :( so i won't be able to post that much......
Anyways comment or email me and keep in touch. I have never gone to an actual school so i am extremely nervous and very nervous and did I mention that I am nervous??? Oh and to celebrate labor day today, we all labored!!! wasn't that brilliant of my parents? hahaha anyways i have to get to bed early tonight. And i will post some funny stories about Kristina....
-- Yesterday Kristina got her head accidentally smashed in the door. After her tears had ceased she turned to the very repentent head smasher and said, "You just broke the seventh commandment when you smashed my head in the door." LOL she meant the verse about loveing your neighbor as yourself.......:)
A few nights ago at dinner we were discussing Obama's address to the school children of America and all the controversy around it. My little sister piped up and said I don't know why they would want to listen to him....That would be SOOOO boring, You would have to just sit there and listen to them say, The white house, Washington D.C. the white house Washington D.C.!!!!!! lol I thought that was really funny :)
During a conversation Kristina was trying to prove that she had cleaned John Elliot's room and said "Mom can protest that I cleaned it"... :)

Happy birthday Mommy!!

I love you sooo much and I would not be here if you were not. Thank you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Speech Camp and Overnight at the Fryes!!!!!!

Hey all friends,
This will be just a quick blog post to catch u up with my life. Last monday we went to a speech camp. It was awesome. On the second to last day Sarah and I were invited to stay overnight at the Frye's. So we did. And that night at their church Lincoln Brewster was doing a concert, so we went with them. And at that concert was one of my other good friends, Katie West!!!! I was very excited, and had a blast. Hosanna and I raced through the big air filled bouncy things. I won both times!!! Hahahaha. Okay so there was a big parking lot where the concert was held. Then beyond the parking lot was this muddy ditch and then a hill. All during the concert these little kids kept falling into the ditch. It was so sad and so funny. One little girl fell in up to her neck. Luckly Rayni jumped in and saved her. The kids always came out screaming. Sorry about how random that was. Anyways back to the story, after the concert we went home and had Hosanna's cake and Icecream for dessert. BTW Hosanna is an awesome cook!!!! Rayni and Hosanna had so much fun that night. we stayed up late and scared each other. the gray lady!!!!
More later,
Oh and i got second in extemp at the tourny and third in apologetics~!!!!!

The ultimate gift

You must see this movie. Very strong message and how Christ can change a person's life.

Hey y'all whats up???
I am down in CA still!!!! This month has been awesomely crazy!!!!! I survived volleyball camp, had an awesome time with the Joe's and my future cousin in law and his brother, and am leaving in a few hours for my great aunts funeral. Let me go through each of these more in depth.....

Volley ball camp:
Well it all began Fri, 2 weeks ago. I left from my debate camp. BTW I loved debate camp and seeing everyone, it was weird because all the staff are my friends!!!!! Anyway I got home and had like 3 hours to pack and get ready for camp. I had been told by some guys at church(they just got back from basketball camp at the same location) that the temperature was around 114 degrees. This of course was just what I wanted to hear and DID NOT WORRY ME AT ALL. Okay fast forward this story is getting to boring... At church Pastor met all of us girls and we prayed before we headed out in the big church van at 10:30pm. DO NOT TRY TO PUT 9 girls in a van at that time and expect them to sleep! :) We did makeup ate and okay i will say it, we actually dozed of a couple of times but only for ten minutes or So the whole way down. BTW that last sentence was grammatically incorrect. Anyway we finally got there Sat. night at ten o'clock. They gave us nice dorms to sleep in. I shared a room with Breanna, Ashley, Ashley B, and Kirida. Our bathroom had two showers and two stalls and connected with Mrs. Holmes & Mrs. Koehlers room. Not that you needed to know all that. Camp started. It was super intense. Everyday we had these personal chalenges. One of them was to do as many pushups as you possibly could in five minutes. I only got to 90.
We had the most bestest food in the world. They fed us a TON. Yeah. No further comments.
We had three on three tournaments every day. We played three of those each day. We won 6 out of 9 of our games!!!!!
Our FBCA volleyball team won the camp tournament!!! we are the champions!!!! No I definitely do not have pride issues!;)
Magic Mountain was okay. Personally I do not like being in huge crowds with strange people. Especially with immodest immoral people. enough said. The rides were fun anyway.
Now we will go into depth about the time with the cousins..........

Cousins:
My aunt picked me up from camp at West Coast Baptist college. The boys were super quite unlike their usual selves. I got to see Elpida for the first time. She is the most adorable cute baby ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the awesomest thing of all besides being with my fun cousins was that Joanna's boyfriend and his bro were staying with them til Wednesday!! Yasha and Nick are so much fun. Yasha(Joanna's boyfriend) is so nice and very respectful and kind. They are a perfect match and have embraced the standards that their parents set up for their courtship!! Its nice to know that there are still hope for our generation.
Nick is pretty funny. He loves to play tennis and throw the boys in the pool.
Everyone here is getting so big. Katharine had her b-day yesterday and turned 23 ;)
We had an awesome time going on walks and swimming, going to church, hanging out at Peters house, having flat tires, eating delicious food( I wouldn't be surprised if i gained a pound :)), going to Barnes and Noble with the weird guy there, watching monk and cartoons, keeping the children in line and clothed. Sorry sort of an inside joke. I also got to make brownies which seem to disapear even faster here than at our house!!!!!
I love being here. Holding Elpida is just thrilling. She likes to make faces and copy you even though she is only 3-4 months. Jooey is still my little buddy. He always gives me hugs. Nectarios and Poniotis changed their minds and now want to be priests with small families, instead of monks. Teddy remains and is even a worse terror than ever. Such a strong will and so indepent for such a small boy. He also has a broblem with keeping his clothes on. I love that kid though.
Evanthia is doing great, she has a ton of friends and loves college. Fotini is doing well, school, reading and a special friend, takes up her time. Yianna is in love. What more can you say??? Only word describes this condition= Twiterpated!
Katherine is going through a tough time after a breakup with her boyfriend, her car being broken into twice and her laptop, ipod, etc stolen. She is still totally awesome and i got to have some pretty intense debates with her. She taught us this one game that is soo funny. So everybody writes down 6 nouns on little pieces of paper and puts them all in a bowl. I'll teach you all at home. This is what was said in a shakespearian accent about the word dog: A little animal that goes arf arf at opportune times. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA.
Uncle Joseph and Aunt Despina are doing well.

More about all of these happenings later...... Ta ta for now...... See you all soon..... Love, Heidi

Bye

Got back from Debate camp which was awesome and we had the coolest teachers, Tait Deems and Jachin Scott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leaving for volleyball camp in CA. 115 degrees where I am going. Hope I survive. Heidi

YAY

Veronica is coming today!!!

BTW

I purposefully spelled the headline on the last post wrong... =)

Busyness

Hey All,
What is going on for you these days? Are you having a wonderful relaxing summer, or a crazy, busy, super fast one??? Mine is crazier than I ever wanted it to be. So much going on. I am hoping that I will still have time to fit in a couple VBS's. They are my absolute favorite thing to do in the summer. SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN ANY CAMP. Okay, okay that was totally personal opinion. Between camps, tennis lessons, volleyball, church, bus ministry, prayertime, relatives, remodeling, summer school, getting enrolled in FBCA, helping Trudy, etc... there really has not been much time left. I sometimes wonder if time is speeding up. At least it feels that way. Things that used to take so long are gone in what seems a second. Its probably just my imagination though. Anyway I added some things to the blog. The abortion counter is a reminder to all of us to stand up for those who have no voice. It really shocked me how many abortions are done a day. I had no idea.

Oh I do have to tell you something funny. Last Sunday when I was sitting by a couple of bus kids, they asked me how old I was. So I said that they should guess. The little boy in front of me said are you 100,00 years old??? That really cracked me up. Hahahahaha.
To all my faithful bloggies, have a great summer and tell me what to post because I have no idea.

The Father's Hand

While through this changing world below
I would not choose my path to go;
'Tis Father's hand that leadeth me,
Then O how safe His child must be.

Sometimes we walk in sunshine bright,
Sometimes in darkness of the night;
Sometimes the way I cannot see
But Father's hand still leadeth me.

Sometimes there seems no way to take,
But Father's hand a way doth make.
Sometimes I hear Him gently say,
"Come follow Me, this is the way."

Why should I mind the way I go?
His way is best for me, I know.
He is my strength, my truth, my way,
He is my comfort, rod, and stay.

So on we travel hand in hand,
Bound for the heavenly promised land
Always through all Eternity,
I will praise His name for leading me.
-Ida L. Cornett

Hope..

My newest cousin when she was first born. She is now 1 1/2 months old....

Thought for the day!

Did you know that history really is His Story???

Saved

His name was Andreas...
He is five...
Praise the Lord, He let me lead Andreas to salvation...
Thank you Lord for saving this young boy...

101st Post!!!

My last post was the 100th post. Yay!!! I never thought that I would have that much to write about but so many things have happened. Mom, Sarah and JE got back on Saturday night and JE left at two am monday morning for Survival teenpact camp. I would have gone but it was too much for me to handle and I have things planned this week already. They had a great time at nationals. The sibs made lots of friends and enjoyed seeing old friends. Tennis is going great and surprisingly I am actually enjoying it. More later, Heidi
p.s. Sorry for the random post. =)

2nd thought for the day

God's love is forgiving. God's love is for giving.

Thought for the day

You can never let God down. After all you aren't holding God up, He holds you up.
