Hard Work!

The Farmington Fanatics had yet another long day. We had to be at the church for prayer at 6:30, but we were there early, of course. I was soooooo tired this morning! I got to talk to my parents (I love you guys!). Later this morning we all gathered in Donny and Tiffany's room to make posters for the concert, which we forgot in the van. As usual, Josh, Jacob and Evan started fighting. Two little guys trying to take down one big guy is quite a funny sight. After making posters we practiced a few of our skits in a conference room here, then got ready to go on outreach. On the way out, Donny started witnessing to one of the cleaning ladies. We found out that she is a Christian new to Farmington and looking for a good church, specifically one that believes in speaking in tongues. We invited her out to church, so hopefully she will come. For the morning outreach, we put fliers on all of the cars in the parking lots at the mall, Sam's, and Wal-Mart. After lunch, Donny, Tiffany, Nic, and Evan went shopping for the BBQ with Pastor Kyle while Brian, Josh, Jacob, Richard, Kristin, and I went on outreach in a neighborhood.

When we were finishing up the outreach, we saw a guy break up with his girlfriend. She ran into her house crying. Then, we drove to the mall for a rest stop, and we saw that same guy in the parking lot with a different girl! That jerk made all of us angry! We decided that he is the real dirtyman.

Right before the concert, a few of us went door to door around the park inviting people out. Jacob invited Robin Bland, Pastor Bland's wife, to the concert because he didn't recognize her, so we all had to laugh at that. The concert was really good. The band that came from Cortez sang six songs, including "Love Song" and "Thief" by Third Day and "Slow Fade"by Casting Crowns. The skits that we did were what we call "The Box Skit" (We put Josh in the box) and the "Everything" skit. We were nervous for that, but people told us afterwards that it was really powerful and good.

After the concert we went to McDonald's then hurried to the hotel to go swimming. The water was too cold for me, but the guys played water basketball. On his way to the pool, Nic met a cowboy on a unicycle. Lucky! hahaha

Tomorrow is our Fun Day, which we will spend with the youth from Cortez and Pastor Kyle. I can't wait!

Goodnight! I miss my family!
