AMA Throwback!!!

Soooooooooooo since AMA was cancelled this year, I wanted to do a blog post dedicated to all the memories of CAMP!!! I know I went to camp last year, buuuuuuut, I have NO post for it and for some reason I can hardly remember any of it!!! Anyways, It was fun for me scrolling through AMA memory lane!!! It was weird reading posts from Joe Velez was single, I only knew Anali for 6 months before some AMAZING PERSON introduced her to Joe!!! ;)
.
Heeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy you guys remember how we'd all stand in line at the cafetereia stomping our feet, clapping our hands and singing, LIFE TIME, I  GIVE YOU MY LIFE TIME!!! We need to bring that back!!!
 
Soooooooo It looks like I actally met Jenny in 2016-I remember us sitting under the weeping willow tree by the pond and discussing the cute guys at camp and then when she confided in me that she like Ryan but he didn't like her...and NOW they're married!!! And in one of these posts I actually saw that I had advertised Ryan's singleness...BAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! He OWES me, with a multitude of others!!! Hee, hee!!!
If your NOT cool (By Alahandra...duuuuude I miss that gir!!!)
.
Also, I remember the first year I had this HORRIBLE tooth ache and Alahondra was the only one that could make me laugh!!! She came into my room, all sorrowful, and says, If I could take the pain your are feeling from  you and onto myself, I literally would! I remember thinking, wow, that's SWEET, then she says, I'm ONLY saying that, because I KNOW I CAN'T!!!! I was in soooooo much pain, buuuuuuuuut I could NOT stop laughing!!! (She's one of the few on my list of, ACTUALLY FUNNIER than me people!!!)
.
I actually remember that at the beginning of camp it was more a youth camp13-25 and I think I started my first year at 26 or 27 and then they ACTUALLY changed the age to 30, buuuuuuuuut, now it's more a family camp, and I actually PREFER staying outta the youth dorm!!! LOL

AMA and breaking news!!!

It's time for my A Mountain Apart post... Let's go back, waaaaay, WAY, waaaayyy back to the beginning of June! Now really, that DOES seem like foreverrrr and a day ago!!! Buuuuuut HERE we go, this post is about A Mountain Apart and some BREAKING NEWS!!! Wamp, wamp, wamp...
.
So it was ME, T, MJ and Stultz driving together to camp!!! Stultz was the official driver!!!
.
This game at Cracker Barrel basically always tells m that I'm STUPID!!! Hee, hee!!!
On the way there we stopped at Cracker Barrel... Got my FAVORITE, blueberry pancakes, with a side of hash brown casserole...YUMMMM!!!
Here we are at camp, Bro. Andrew leading or something... Doing his announcements probably!!!
Sooooooooo we got through one day and after lunch I went to my room to take a nap. Set my alarm to get up in time for CHOIR PRACTICE...YES, I did say, CHOIR PRACTICE!!! A Mountain Apart and MY CHURCH are THE ONLY choirs I join!!! For many reasons, one being, I HATE RISERS...they scare me to death, #2 They take away from my socializing time #3 Theres usually MORE than enough people to sing, SOMEONE has to stay in the congregation to actually enjoy the choir and worship!!!
.
 Buuuuuuuuuuut anyway, I ALWAYS go to choir at AMA...ever since the year I ditched in order to do a really cute hair-do, Sis. Devi NEVER let me forget that for the rest of the camp...I learned don't mess with a pregnant mamma...AHAHA...the hair do was REALLY CUTE tho by the way, ANNNNNND I still remember that I looked SOOOOO GOOD that night!!! It was soooo worth the rebuke just to look at myself in the mirror and take a million selfies...AHAHAHA!!! WAIIIIIT let me see if I can find the pic...Okaaaaaaaaaay i'm back...I couldn't find it!!!
.
Anywayz, back to AMA 2015 annnnnnd THE BREAKING news I told you all about... Soooooooo I'm on my way to choir practice and I think that i'll stop at the gym to see whats going on. As soon as I walk in all the girls are like, MARY! Jonathon just broke his leg! I'm like, Haha!!! Funny guys...they're like, NO REALLY, Mary he broke it! I'm like, WHEN??? They're like, JUST NOW!!! I'm like, WHAT??? WHERE??? They're like, RIGHT oVER THERE!!! I'm like, OH...annnnd there is Stultz, laying on the ground with his LEG BROKEN!!! See, I told you guys I had...
BREAKING NEWS!!!!
(Buh-dump. Chhh!!! AHAHAHA)
This is him, obviously, laughing in pain at something I had just said!!! LOL Well I didn't know what else to do to try and make him feel better, I'm NOT like a nurse or something!!!
.
Then Bro. Foster had me call his mom...cuz ya know, they really only know our family with us being neighbors and all...then his dad called me...when I saw Stultz at the hospital I was like, DUUUUUDE your dad sounds JUST LIKE YOU ON THE PHONE...I mean like, right down to the awkward pauses...BAHAHAHA!!!
.
Here he is being RESCUED by the paramedics...a long winding drive to the nearest hospital...eeeeks...Poor guy...buuuuut even in his pain, HE STILL managed to witness to the paramedics about JESUS NAME BAPTISM!!! Go Stultz!!! He's just bomb like that!!!
The drive to the hospital, T and I drove there too since he was gonna be having surgery and all, as you can see, we were basically out in the middle of NO WHERE!!!
All went well with the surgery and he was able to leave the next day...thank God cuz the next nurse that came in seemed WEIRD...Her greeting to him was,"Hey Guy!" I'm like, ummmm...I'm NOT a nurse, buuuuut I'm pretty sure that's not very professional...I'm JUS SAYIN...LOL!!!
.
Oh annnnnnnd then we had this adventure in K-mart cuz Stultz went there to pick up some supplies he needed with having his broken leg and everything, sooooo I went inside to get him an electrical cart and the one was DEAD and the other one I saw some teen taking...So when I told Stultz he was incredibly frustrated cuz he was still pretty worn out from everything and wobbly on his crutches still!!! and it was taking forever for him to get anywhere in the store. He was like, SO ANNOYED that this teen, who was perfectly capable of walking, had gotten the cart...we were gonna report it...buuuuut then we realized that they had gotten it for their Grandma!
.
So everywhere Stutlz would hobble and struggle to get to in the store we would end up passing this grandma in the electrical cart and Stultz and I would just look at each other...cuz HE NEEDED IT!!! AHAHA!!! Sooooooooooo THEN we're finally up front, he's paying for everything ANNNNNNNNNND this Grandma comes CRASHING up front in the next line over!!! She's like, I guess I don't know how to drive this thing... We were like, WOW!!! Then we just started laughing!!! It was pretty funny!!!
.
Anywayz, BACK TO CAMP...We made it back for the last service!!! Here is the kids choir singing, Denae was their director and they did great!!!

Me and lil Miss Gally!!!
.
Joe Momma...he was being a good friend and carrying all Stultz's stuff to our van..
.
Oh this was funny, sooooooo we're standing out on the porch of the dorms a bunch of us and I'm walking by Sis. Devi's room and I look in and see she's packing their stuff up...buuuut a bunch of it was just being organized or whatever but it was sprawled out on the bed, I was like to everyone, OoooooH WOW, you guys, Sis. Devi's room is ACTUALLY A MESS!!! Buuuuuut what I didn't realize was that...
THE WINDOW WAS OPEN!!!
I can't remember what she said to me buuuuuuuut I was just like, OOOOoOOOOPS!!! Then like HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
.
Here's Stultz again...Awwww poor guy...buuuut it did get him A LOT of girl attention!!! Something about a guy being hurt and every girl wants to tend his wounds....AHAHAHA!!! Plus even the guys were talking to me about what A MAN he was! They're like, He was just so chill about it! He jumps up, falls and yells out, I broke my leg and just lays there, They're like, HE DIDN"T EVEN CRY, now that's a MAN!!!" AHAHAHA!!! That's Stultz, the King of NON dramatic!!! The only time he yelled out was when this man, that was a volunteer paramedic I believe, when they were moving him and Stultz said his leg some how got caught in the man's big belly...He said, THAT WAS PAINFUL!!! Eeeeeks...LOL!!!
My sis was like, So I guess this means your NOT driving home!!!  AHAHAHA!!!
.
.
Everyone saying their goodbyes...
Me and Miss Daisy...OH yeah girrrrrl, you DID have braces at camp...NOW I see them!!! AHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! We didn't get to hang out as much at camp buuuuut we made up for it at Joe and Anali's wedding...Hee, hee!!!
Joe and Sergio...
Lil Gally again...
.
Our group pic...Stultz in the middle, everyone said he was the camp HERO...
Buuuuuut if you ask me he was just the camp's wounded hero, I MEAN, I don't see how breaking your leg makes you a hero... I say he was ALREADY a hero because he's been living for God on his own since he was 12, being an example to other young people that you can make it living for God in an ungodly environment...that's what's heroic to me...I mean come on, he didn't even make the shot...Ahahahahahahahaha!!! Juuuuuuust kidding STULTZ...JUST KIDDING!!! :))))
.
Ooooooh I ALMOST FORGOT...Broc!!! You wanted me to make mention of you on my blog and I said only if you did something that was mentionable annnnnnd this is what I noticed...HOW you ACTED like you were ALL EXCITED to see me when you arrived whenever you got there...buuuuuut...what you were REALLY doing was standing there talking to me so you could take cuts in the dinner line!!! Uh huh...don't think I didn't know!!! AHAHAHA!!! I just didn't say anything cuz it was YOUR BIRTHDAY...dinner line cuts was kinda like my birthday present to you...Yes, soooo giving of me...YOUR WELCOME!!! :)))
.
All in all, it was a good camp...UNEXPECTED events happened buuuuut still very memorable!!!
.
Writing this post I started going through old AMA posts ... I could NOT stop laughing when I read THIS post, "Knocking on the floor!" Read it you guys!!! Annnnnnd if you happen to be reading this Alahondra, I MISS YOU being at AMA!!! COME HOME!!! :))))
 
This BLOND MOMENT!!! BAHAHAHA!!!

Apostolic Jr Camp 2023!!! (Part 1)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllll it's TIME TO BLOG ABOUT JR CAMP!!! I was going to try and just fit it all into ONE REALLY LOOOOOOOOOOOONG POST like I did for AMA, buuuuuuuuuuuut that just wasn't going to be possible....soooooooooo it's looking like TWO REALLY LOOOOONG POSTS!!!!
.
Soooooooooo I have to start off by saying that Jr. Camp was absolutely amaaaaaaaZing!!! Kid's just have the ability to bing down the presence of God!!! That must be WHY Jesus tells us, "Except ye become as little children, you will not enter the kingdom of God" Weeeeeeeelllllll let me tell you something, when the majority of a conference is children, the power of God is POURED OUT!!!! 
.
And I was telling Denae Monday night, I ACTUALLY think that JR. Camp was better than AMA and thats really, really hard to say because that camp is POWERFUL!!! And she said I shouldn't compare conferences, it's not like I'm writing a yelp review...WHICH  IS TRUE...buuuuuuuuut God really touched me in some areas of my life that i needed to work on and maybe it was just that things are simplified for children...buuuuuut some of those object lessons made some things clear for me in a child-like way and weeeeeeeelllll we all know I'm just a BIG KID trapped as an adult!!! HAHA!!! 
,
Buuuuuuuut don't worry Denae, I'm NOT going to yelp review Anitoch...I'm sure it will be JUST AS AMAAAAAZING in a completely different way!!! HEE, HE!!!
.
ON OUR WAY!!!
