last weekend we went to scottsdale arizona to visit the mission adventures team that we led at the beginning of march. we left saturday morning and got back sunday evening. it seamed like a long drive for such a short amount of time (about 11 hours of driving altogether), but it was worth it to see the kids, and relax on sunday. we went to one of the leaders houses and just hung out (just as the dts). it was really nice out, and we went swimming in his pool. a few of us came back with some lovely, yet painful sun burns. my whole front side was burnt, even though i did put sunscreen on. its slowly turning into a tan, and peeling. yumm.
this is a picture of me and one of the sca girls.
last week we also went to the rio buffet off the strip. its called the world buffet and has hunnndrreeedds of things to choose from. it was pretty much amazing to say the least. the whole time woo tried to keep stealing things and putting them in my purse to take back to the base, for food. he only ended up getting 3 packages of cream cheese .. which was good because we didnt have any at the base at the time. it was quite funny.
kristen loved the buffet; they had jelatooo!!
this week was our last week here at the base before we were to move to another building somewhere in vegas since theres going to be a mission adventures team here of 60 kids. there just isnt enough room for us, and we still have lectures and stuff that we need to go to. so today we spent the whole day packing our stuff, and moving bunk beds to help sam set up for MA. i never want to see, touch, lift, assemble, or take apart another bunk bed in my life. at the end, we were all so dead. we were supposed to leave this afternoon to our house for the week, but with a lot of complications we werent able to move to the house that a church was going to let us use. so now we're 'stuck' here at the base for another night. not that big of a deal, but all of our stuff is packed up and sitting in the vans. it'll be a fun night.
we still all cant believe that we leave for turkey in a little over a week. its going to be a busy week coming up, trying to get ready for turkey and things like that. last week i went and bought a backpacking backpack and things that i ll need for outreach. i love rei :) i keep saying that i have tons of things left to do, and not enough time .. but i keep finding myself with free time, and not doing anything 'productive'.
so thats what new with me here at the base. im not sure if i ll be able to update my blog before i leave, but i ll do my best to. one of the girls on my dts, her job is to send out a weekly update to everyone who wants to get it, saying what we're doing and things like that. if you want to recieve that email every week, you can send me your email address and i ll make sure you get put on the mailing list. my emails konrathbeth@gmail.com :)
also, heres a link to a video that aaron made of my baptism at the pool in february ! hopefully it works.
