ANTIOCH OFFICIAL APOLOGY:
I Got In Trouble From The Ushers For TALKING TO LOUDLY While In The Ladies Room!!! OOOOPS!!! Someone I HavNT SeeN IN YearS(YOU SIS FROM THE MARCHBANKS CHURCH!;) Saw Me And i Said HEEEEEEEEEEYYYY!!!! Aparently, I Say Heeeeeeyyy VERY LOUDLY!!! I Think It Really Was Loud Though Cuz A Friend Texted Me From Inside The Sanctuary And Was Like, Are You In The Bathroom? Cuz I THINK I JUST HEARD YOU!!!! Ooooops!!! SORRY USHERS!!! It's AN ITALIAN THING!!!! If You Guys Could've Heard My Grandpa Mangino, YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND JUST HOW QUIET, I ACTUALLY AM!!! I Inherited His Broad Shoulders,Blue Eyes And Apparently The QUIETER Version Of His Voice!!
FIrst night, Brother Bracken, missionary to Taiwan preached and he said my favorite line the WHOLE CONFERENCE, he said when people ask you to pray for them and he's liiiiiiike PRAY FOR YOURSELF!!!! ARE YOU THAT LAZY THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE PRAY FOR YOU???? Ok so idk if that was quoted word for word i'm basically paraphrazing but yeah I looooooved that!!! I felt l like there was a very strong emphasis on NOT being lazy in the Kingdom, Brother Johnson talked about it too!!!

I looooove this woman- She's always tellng me, GIRRRRRRRRRRL YOU LOOK GOOD!!!! Buuuuuuut what I really like about here is SHE CAN PRAY THE ROOF OFF!!! I was telling her that I love hearing her pray! ANd she was like you know one time someone told me they thought I was praying to loud for them! I was liiiiike WHAAAAAAAAT???? She's like I told them, WELL I GUESS IT'S A GOOD THING I WASN'T TALKING TO YOU!!! I was liiiiiiiiike PREACH SIS, PREEEEEEEEEACH!!!
.
THen i asked her if she was going to SWAT???? And she said NO! I was like WHYYYY???? SHe said I'm TOO OLD!!! I was liiiiiiiiiiiiiike whaaaaaaaaaaaat???? Noooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!! I think SWAT should be till 100 or DEATH!!! Imagine being to OLD AND SINGLE FOR THE OLD PEOPLE!!! I'm PREPARING MYSELF!!! BAHAHAHAAAAA~~~~
.
SWAT!!!
Everyone was liiiiiiiiiiiiike girl you stayed in SWAT for like 5 minutes, I'm liiiiiiiiiiiike, it was like 15 at least and duuuuuuuuuuude I can NOT stay committed to ONE SPOT FOR TOO LOOOOOOOOOONG!!! I have places to go, People to meet, PEOPLE TO INTRODUCE TO EACH OTHER!!!! I came! I SAW! I talked for a minute annnnnnnd I GOT SOME HEART SHAPED WATERMELON!!!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Its all just friends fellowshipping they say; Oh did we accidently make heart-shaped watermelon- OOOOOPS!!! AHAHAHAHAA!!! Don't worry, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT!!!
.
and THEN I WENT TO THE FOOD TRUCKS AND .FOUND ABOUT A GROUP OF 15 PEOPLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THERE!!! There was 34-year-old that’s like, IM TOO YOUNG!!!! 🙄🙄🙄 The rest, They were liiiiiiiike, noooooooooooo it’s WEIRD!!! ITs awkward, im liiiiiiiiiiike, it's NOT AWKWARD!!! There's literally NO MEN EVEN IN THERE!!! WHY DO YOU THINK I LEFT??? BAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!
.
IF i was a bad friend, I would start calling out NAMES of people that should have beenn at SWAT buuuuuuuut didn't go!!!! BUUUUUUUUUT i'm not like that!!!! BUUUUT you may or MAY NOT SEE SOME OF THEIR PICTURES ON HERE!!! Hee, hee!!!
.Actually, there was one guy that was literally just like THE KING OF SWAT!!!! He was sooooooooo chill and friendly and HE TALKED TO EVERYONE!!!! Only thing I know is he's from California and he LITERALLY TALKS MORE THAN ME!!!! I was liiiiiiike WOOOOOOOWWWW I did NOT EVEN KNOW THIS WAS POSSIBLE!!! I think they should use him to promote and gather people to come!!! He actually said I was QUIET!!!! I was liiiiiiiiiike BRO....whaaaaaaaaaaaat???? AHAHAHAAA!!!
.
Good change with SWAT having it at the church, i don't think I would have gone AGAIN if it had been at the restaurant like the year before, that was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more awkward, plus the free food was a definite lure for me!!!
Can she come as SWAT ALUMNI NEXT YEAR???

#OLDMAIDLIVESMATTER
If not, then let me say THAAAAAAANK YOU!!!! It was a blast getting to hang out with everyone and super fun not having to leave the premises to find a place to fellowship and not having to commit to hanging out with one group the whole night! Anyways, thank you Antioch for being an amazing local conference and making everything so fun ASIDE from getting a spiritual feast!!!
