The highlight of my year 2013 for me was mission camp.  Mission camp was my church did this summer for preteens. All the preteens did fun missions to help others. First, we went to a homeless shelter called ” house of hope.”We poured water and tea, and made salad for them. Then, they showed us around the shelter. After that, we wrote down on notes ”Jesus loves you,” and a verse on the back. We passed the notes out with a Hershey’s  kiss in Walmart. We did fun praise and worship songs,  We roasted marsh mellows, we went swimming,we played games at the arcade, and we did a bible study. This is a memory I could never forget! 🙂

Another memory I have is when I first met my friend Katelyn. On the first day of school I had no idea who she was. She was in my class, so I thought I could talk to her.  She ended up riding the same bus as me.  We sat by each other, and we started playing together. That’s when I realized we were meant to be best friends.  Kaycee, Katelyn, and I had a slumber party at her house for her birthday. The three of us had a blast!

Another memory was New Years Eve lock in with the preteens at church.  We went to Holly Lake ranch. The same place we went for mission camp. We got our flash lights, and had a treasure hunt outside. The girls team won! Then we played a game where we had to wrap our team mates in toilet paper then dress them up as a snowman. We sang worship songs, and had a countdown for 2014. My friends Ally and Livia said they would stay up all night, but they ended up falling asleep. I was the only girl up! I ended up playing video games, and eating cookies with the boys. Then at 7 am I passed out!

MY goal for 2014 is to be a leader  at school, church, and everywhere else. I will try my best to be respectful to my parents. I will stop making bad grades. I hope to improve my reading skills! Happy New Year!!! 🙂
