The Cabin Trip!

Weeeeelllll it's that time of year again! The time when a bunch of the young and...not soo young people head,to the hills for a weekend of good clean fun! The young people's cabin trip. Now that doesn't limit this trip to just young people,because a lot saints who aren't soo young come along as well. Well...maybe because they are kinda the ones who put this trip together. I don't know! Lol. This year it's going to be held at Camp Del Oro which is in Nevada city I do believe. It should be fuuuun! It will go from the 9th to the 11th of April. Last year I didn't have a camera,thus I didn't have a lot of pics to post. This year though,I've got my own camera,AND my very own photographer...Miss Katrina! :)) Hopefully she will have it and be taking lots of pictures. I'll take some to ofcoarse...I mean how else is she going to be in the pictures?? Lol. :)

You know last year's cabin trip was a huge push towards my salvation. I hadn't ever been in a gathering like this before. Having gone to a church for most my life that taught you couldn't live free from sin and that we're all sinners....I never actualy gave living holy or free from sin much thought. I was living in a case of the do-betters environment. So church was more of a social gathering than a time to worship and be fed. Anywhoooo what I was getting around to was that the young people at this cabin trip were totally different from any kids I'd ever met at any other young people's gathering I'd ever been to. They were saints...people living a sin free life on this earth and having good clean fun. They had a true experience with God. I wanted what they had,and by the testimonies that they brought,and the songs they sang,and the lessons that were brought forth...God helped me to realize the condition I was in and that I wasn't right with God. The very night I got home,I went strait to my bed and got down on my knees. Right there I went to God and prayed earnestly,and repented of my sins and the way I was living,and layed my whole self on that alter...or..bed. Lol. Right then I felt the presence of God and I felt myself change into a new creature. I was now free from the bondage of sin and on my journey down the narrow path on my way to heaven! That night all I could do was thank God. Over and over again. Haha! I haven't stopped either! I can't ever stop thanking him for my life and all he's done for me. :)

Now I'm one of the saints! Now I can be an influence to others as the saints were to me. God is soooo good to me. :) Another AMAZING thing happened to me at that cabin trip,but I'll share that with yall at some other time. :)) Some of you might already know,Lol. God has blessed me soo much and I love him soooooo very muchos! :) This cabin trip coming up is going to be EXTRA special. :) I cannot wait! :) Well I can,but you know what I mean. haha! :)

I hope this cabin trip goes great .... it looks like our friend Oksana will be coming along so it will be a good chance for her to be in the same position you were last year and see that testimony .... pray for her too if you think of it!

Haha! You do know huh? Well how on earth could you have found that out!? lol! :) Yessiriebob God is soooo good!! :) Well I think it has a LOT to do with my personal photographer! haha! :) She's my numero uno employee! :)

6 days to go! I'm on the edge of my seat! I have an deep, awful foreboding....this will be one of the most interesting cabin trips we've had in a long time! lol. We shall see...meanwhile, I canNOT wait! The foosball in my blood is at 212 right now...:-)

Borneo, eh? Borneo? Well, of all the most RANDOM places on the planet! (raises an eyebrow). Ok, ok - I guess it IS better than Bangladesh. I wish you the best of luck. If you come back with stories that are thrilling enough, I might try it on for size someday myself...in a little more cultured way, perhaps, but nonetheless! Actually, all the stories that Connor has been telling me about the place has actually been inspiring me to write an incredible adventure story that includes all the "what ifs" of every single thing that could ever possibly happen to you. Will make sure it gets published AFTER the trip, it's kinda freakish. The place looks like an absolute photographer's heaven! (wistful sigh....)

Aw, Katrina, I'll totally and unconditionally go with you! I'll put my ticket in with yours and we can experience the best of Spain together!!! On my list, and I would definitely rather take it on with a companion that speaks Spanish like yourself...wait. Did I hear "honeymoon"? Aw MAANNN! (snaps fingers in disappointment). Well, I guess I'll just have to go alone then....maybe when all you couples have five kids and I'm all alone, I'll just slink away to Moscow alone....and get a job in the Kremlin. HA! Can't you just see it? News Headline..."Woman Leads Successful Coup against Russian Government and Emerges as a Tyranical Stalin Impersonator..." lol.

BTW, Karl, was watching your slideshow and laughing hysterically. You guys have quite the sense of humor. Got an especial kick out of "Me and Keri is graduated." Uhhhh...well, let's just say it's a great thing you don't want to get your Masters in English!:-P lol.

~Nastya

Haha! Hey now!...Me and Keri IS graduated you know! We didn't get no 4.0 in english for nothin! We're gooder than that. :P Haha! Jk. :) Well I'm prolly not going for my Master's degree,but I am getting my Associates. Lord willing. :)

Yeah I can't wait till the cabin trip! My blood was injected with phooseball this last trip and my palms are sweating for this one already! haha. Can't wait. I hear Oksana is coming too. That will be good for her!

Ohhhh man I am itching to go to Borneo soo bad. I've wanted to for years. I LOVE being out in the wilderness just exploring. I also love to show everyone else my explorations by pictures and video. This place is soooo awesome for that. Probably the most beautifull natural habitat in the world! Although it is pretty random I guess. :P Yeah that would make a pretty awesome story though! Hahaha! :)

Well I think Katrina might be planning to go to Spain before the "honeymoon" so you might luck out and get to go with her. haha! :) I sure can't wait to go with her! If I ever get to that is. :) Hmmmm....so what's this here Kremlin? haha. Never heard of it. We don't hear much about that kind of stuff way out here in hillbillyville. :P Lol.
