Time can be a strange thing, you look forward to things and once they are upon you it seems hard to believe the time has come. The event takes place and sometimes almost seems surreal. To look back on that same event brings memories that can last a life time. A missions trip to Loveland, Colorado is the event that has been looked forward to for the last year for sixteen youth and four adults. The day is almost here; preparations have been made, packing is being done, list are being checked. A sense of excitement, nervousness, and anxiousness all combined is the feeling now. We also feel a sense of gratitude for the support given to us by our church family. For all the participation in helping us in our fund raising, to the questions on our progress, for all the money given to help us reach our goal, and for the prayers that have been said and will continue – we have truly been blessed.
Our goal is to post something on the internet once a day.

Tomorrow is Taylor Campbells and my last youth Sunday. Its sad that we are almost done with youth group and its sad that its my last youth Sunday.
I was involved with getting the youth praise band started. It was at a car wash for our first mission trip. We were sitting around talking about youth group and it was brought up that we should start playing music at the beginning of youth group. It also turned out that Rachael Shwankel played drums, Carica Braren played guitar and I played bass.
The next week we brought our instruments and played a couple songs. It went well, so we started doing it every week. Then we wanted to lead the worship for one Sunday. So we had our first youth Sunday. It must have went well because we were asked to play again.
That was three years ago. Then Rachael and Carica left for college. I didnt think the band was going to continue on, but my sister started learning guitar, and Taylor Campbell played drums. And weve been playing for two years. We also added Phil Huss on the electric guitar.
Now Taylor and I are leaving. Whats going to happen to the band? We still have our guitar players and weve got someone that is learning drums. Chris McCan is taking lessons and learning really fast. Hes played at a couple youth groups and has done a good job.
But what about a bass? Well there is no one that I know of, but if God wants a bass player, Hell provide one. Hes been the one orchestrating the band and theres no doubt He will continue to.

This weekend the youth group will be having their annual spring work day at Camp Lebanon. We have been doing this for many years and we always look forward to it.
In recent years we have spent the Friday night at Camp, playing games, eating some snacks, doing a little music, and doing a polar dip.
Then Saturday we work. We usually get the job of removing straw from the septic areas. While this is work, we manage to still have fun.
Its great that we can give back to a Camp our church supports.

Thanks to everyone that came to our spaghetti dinner and variety show. We had a ton of fun and we hope you did too. Also thank you to everyone that gave to us. We made just over $1000!
I will be trying to post some videos soon so those who werent there can see, and those that were can relive it.

Tonight the youth group is having an overnight. First we are having a potluck followed by a game of volleyball against the Next Gen group. Then the rest of the night we will be planning and practicing for our variety show that is taking place on March 27th at the Pequot Lakes Baptist Church.
The variety show is our biggest fundraiser, and we hope to see you all there for a good supper and entertainment. There is no cost and will be taking a free will offering that is going toward our mission to Loveland, CO in June.

As promised, here are some pictures of us cleaning up.
Our main job was to tear up all the carpet. That was tough.
All the Sheetrock had been torn out. We removed the nails and hammers.
There was bits of Sheetrock everywhere, so we swept it up.
Even though we worked hard, there were times where we had some fun and messed around.
