Trip to Texas #4

The Sampson's little girl Joy is nothing but a Miracle. She is so sweet and there are so many things that the Lord has healed her of! It is an awesome testimony!!

On my earlier posts I forgot to say how long we were at camp. We got there Wednesday and left Monday afternoon after helping to clean up a little. Saying good bye was really hard, but hopefully Lord willing we will be able to go again next year!

After we left camp we stopped in to see the Sampson's. Years ago they used to be our very next door neighbors and now that they moved to Texas we don't get to see them very often. 
A quick family pic before we left. You can kinda tell that we are all a little tired. We had all only got around 2 hours of sleep the night before.
It had been years since these friends had seen each other! They were very happy to meet again! :)

We then left there and went to Dad's second cousins place. The Miller family came and saw us one evening while we were there. JayBerry is with the boys in the picture above. I am sorry to say that I didn't get a picture of his parents. Tina Miller was Jessica's school teacher at one time, so we had lots to talk about! :)
Our cousins Seven Sister Bakery Shop was really neat to see. We left feeling rather full from all the yummy samples! :)
In the bakery....


The store...





Talking....

Playing games....


Cousins for ever!!
The whole Strite family except for one.

Yup, that's us again. We had such a grand time, but it seemed to pass by too quickly!!

Trip to Texas #3

This is us before the banquet.. not sure where Jaylon was :)
I was very disappointed to find a big smudge on my camera lens ( making all my pictures fuzzy), so you will have to bear with me, cause I am very sad about it! :( I guess I was to occupied in other things to take time to notice.

The theme of the youth banquet was Catch The Vision and we all got matching t-shirts, which was really cool!

It was an awesome time we had there. The presence of the Lord came down so strong that not one person left the building without getting a blessing. It was one of those times that you wished you could just stay there and never leave!!! When there are no big "i"s or little "u"s! There is such a love that everyone has for each other.. you just can't express it!!  The banquet started at 7:30 P.M. and it lasted until 1:00 A.M.! Praise the Lord!!
