Hearing Herbert Cooper speak for the first time. 9.03.09

Today it was so hard to wake up. I did not get that many hours of sleep because I was up late studding for the scripture test that we had this morning. I think I did pretty well on my scripture test. After the test Pastor McNabb came in and talked to us for about thirty minutes. I really enjoyed listening to him speak to us. After Pastor spoke, Robby McClure came in and spoke to us for about and hour on ministry. I loved how Robby had a print out of his notes for us.

            For lunch we all went to Mazio’s for Timothy’s Birthday. He turned 19 today. Happy Birthday Timothy!! Eating with all the people was a lot of fun. Carlin ate almost the whole buffet. Josh picked on me during lunch. These people here are really learning how to pick on me. I think people from JAG might have told them to.

            After lunch we worked on trying to get our SAGU classes working. It was so confusing at first. I figured out today that I received Pell Grant that will cover they cost of my SAGU part. I was so happy. God is so good. Then I went into my internship time with Doug and we talked about the positive and negative things that happen in last nights service. That did not take long to talk about. Then we went to the jr. high building to help set up for tonight. When we were getting all the tables out of the shed, there was like a hundred spiders in there and they were all over the place. We finally got everything set up and ready. We then went into a room and planned out “One Night.” I think One Night is going to be amazing. I can’t wait for 09.16.09 It going to be off the hook.

            I finally got to go home around 4:30. I was happy to be home so I could eat some spaghetti-o’s. Yum Yum. I tried to work on some things after that but I did not have much time. I left the house at 5:20 the go to Wal-Mart and get a birthday card for Tim. On the way I talked to “That’s My Lacy.” When I got there, It was really hard to find the right card. I have to find the perfect card. I had to be at the church at 6 for the Leadership Conference called Amplify. Our job there was to be the door greeters. I had lots of fun doing that. Herbert Cooper spoke at our session. It was so awesome. After he did is speaking for every one, they broke it down to where you had two classes to choose. The first class I went to was just for the 3ELEVEN students and Herbert Cooper. It was a Q&A session where us students could ask Herbert Cooper whatever we wanted. I really enjoyed listening to all the things he had to tell us. The next session I did was with Robby McClure.

            When the conference was over, everyone went to Arby’s but I just went home. I just was not feeling like I did not fit in so I didn’t want to go. When Niccole and Whitney got home, they came straight into my room and started talking to me. Katie came home shortly after that and we all talked in my room. By the end of the night, we were laugh so hard about Whitney’s weird high fiving and her pounding it thing with Niccole. The night turned out really awesome and we girls are bonding so well. I can see us growing very close to each other in the ten months.

            The girls kept me up so late but I am glad they did because they made me feel better because I was really down on myself before they got home. I love Jesus!

            Night to Everyone

(Leave me comments. I feel like no one is reading these and that they are pointless. I want to know what you think)

Random Fact: Herbert Cooper is a boring person and is not a people person. He told us himself.
