Regarding My Duo

Unfortunately I have lost my partner. Her family is leaving in less than 9 weeks for Uganda. So I probably can't compete in this category unless I can find someone else to "Be my partner". Yup thatsallthatIhavetosayrightnow. Bye Bye, Heidi

Duo

As some of you know, I am doing a duo. A duo is a piece of literature acted out by two people for the purpose of competition or entertainment. Kristen and I are doing one. It is crazy. We actually only cut it yesterday and started blocking it today. So far so good. It is the story of Prince Kamar and Princess Budur from a thousand and one nights. Yup. Its really funny. I get to be lots of crazy characters.

So what are all my readers up to? I hope you are all doing well. Oh and comment on anything that I need to change or add to my blog. I appreciate feedback.

The next Tourny is March 12-14. The one after that there is one in Idaho. It is the 18-21st. So I will be pretty busy and most likely won't have time to blog. Sorry guys! =)
God Bless and Have a GREAAAAATTTT DAAAAYYYY!!!!

AppleTree Tourny

The Tourny is finally over. IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!! My sis won the lincoln douglas debate for the second time. I also qualified to regionals in impromptu!!! Its actually my first time to qualify in anything!!!!!!! Soooo exciting!!! I will try to put some pics on next post. Overall it was the best tourny yet in my opinion. Everyone was so friendly. I have a few highlights:

Stomping on the ground to get the worms to come up. (Yes the Frye's taught me this and it actually works)
Being so tired that when I was told that I had already eaten my pizza, I actually believed this and yes my brother and Krissy convinced me while they were consuming what once was mine. I still don't know how they did it.
Getting freaked out by a locked door that kept banging even though the room it led into was dark. The reason it banged was a varience in air pressure.
Ducking just in time to save myself from getting hit in the head with a flying basketball.
Winning in Apples to Apples.
Breaking in impromptu for the first time ever.
Timing a really fun debate between Grayson and JE. They kept having podium and google wars.
Watching Kira play with a rubber chicken.
Seeing my sis sodge debate Kathryn Knight in finals round.
Getting a free lunch.
Hanging out with the coolest people ever!!!! (Grayson, Cale, Will, Connor, Calvin, Bridget, Katrina, Sarah, Acacia, Kira, Kris, Rebekah, Krissy, Mathew, and all the rest of you)
Running around like crazy!!!
Sinking into the ground with my high heels.
Taking random pics of a few friends when they were not looking!!!!!
Watching Margaret's jaw drop when she got third place in apologetics. This was her first time competing in it.
And much more.......

We are already signed up for Puget Sound Regional Qually, and Inland Northwest Regional Qually.
I hope to see all of you there!

Bibles

On Friday and Saturday our family passed out Bibles. We did around a hundred. So many were grateful to recieve the word of God. The people who were deeper in sin were more grateful and receptive to the scriptures than anyone else!!! So many were UTI(under the influence) and not living good lifestyles. Yet seeing them reminded me of how Christ saw them. He looked at them through eyes of love and forgave them. He did not condemn them. So many times we look past people and say oh they will never get saved!! But every person on this planet is going to one of two destinations, Heaven or hell. Our pastor told us that once he was talking with a person from a different religion. They said to him"You don't actually believe that God would send people to hell". He said "Yes I do." To that they replied, "If you really believed that unrepentant sinners go to hell, you would do everything and tell everyone about Jesus, to keep them out of that horrible place." We all know that there is a hell and that everyone who does not believe on Jesus Christ will go there. Yet most of us do nothing. People are dying every day and spending eternity separated from God. I can't think of anything worse than that.
Share the gospel with somebody today.
Will you let God use you to do something great? Or will you limit him with your disobedience and disbelief?
I know that it can be pretty scary to talk to people. I happen to have had plenty of experience(thankyou mom) talking to people who I have never met before. Lets just say that it is now in the hundreds. I find that it helps to tell yourself, "Jesus loves this person, I can love them for his sake."

I hope this helps you some. Please leave me a comment.

I am so excited!! We are going to pass out the next hundred and fifty bibles on or before easter!!!

Oh and bye the way, ARE YOU RAPTURE READY?!!!! more on that later........
