End of Shooting

Last Thursday was the last day of shooting. I missed quite a bit, while I was in Oklahoma, when we had Kelly and Ana here, ect. ect. But Thursday I was able to go. Mr. Lewis picked me up and we drove to Logan, where the gun range is. {My Dad couldn't make it, he was busy, as I'll talk about later.} We got there early to find a spot in the shade {It was almost 100 degrees out side!}. I used Mr. Lewis's AR-15 during the shooting, as I did the week before, instead of the M-1 Garand. After the shooting {and following events} I compared my first and last targets, and I could see a huge improvement. I was pretty shocked. Mr. Lewis said next shooting time he wanted to see all X's. {The X is the very middle of the target.} Fat chance.

Blog Competition update

O.K, so in my post Blog Competition! I said that the competition ended August first. It actually ends September 1st. So, its going on right now and that's why I'm blogging so much. I'm really wanting that pizza.

Right now I'm behind Molly by two posts. I can already taste the Pizza. {Did I say that already?}

MCT Robin Hood Play

This year me and my siblings were in a Robin Hood Play put on by the Missoula Children's Theater {MCT}. They held auditions on a Monday, Mom found out about Sunday night, we had to wake up early on Monday to do our chores and milk our cow, Tillie, then we all drove down to where the auditions where, and we still got there early! At first only the Four Little Kids{That's what we call the four youngest members of our family, Andrei, Viktor, Abby and Landon.} where auditioning, but Molly bribed me 5$ to do it to, so I did.{Don't worry, I payed her back.} Molly came in later to be an assistant director.
We all got parts in the play, Andrei and Landon were two guards, Abby and Viktor were Merry Men, and I was The Sheriff Of Nottingham. The play was on Saturday at the Sweat Pea Festival. We arrived their a little before eight, and it was starting to rain. We got in to our costumes and did our first dress rehearsal.{We spent the last week practicing our lines, but didn't get to see our costumes.} We then changed back into our regular clothes and had lunch. At One thirty we went back and got our make up and costumes on. At three we had our play, and it was over at about four thirty.
The play was lots of fun, and I hope we will be able to do more MCT shows in the future.

Kelly and Ana

This summer my family was an emergency host family for two little girls from Columbia. There names were Kelly and Ana. I was gone for the first week they were here, so I don't know what all went on, but I do know that Ana was afraid of me when I got back home. She never really lost that fear. Oh well. Maybe I'm just a scary guy.
The girls mostly stayed with Molly. They LOVED her. They only loved me when I made pop-corn or drove them on the ATV. The LOVED that ATV.
They were with us for about 2 1/2 weeks, then had to leave back for Columbia.

Camp Yeshua Part Two-Tribulation Game

In CP {Camp Yeshua} We played a camp wide game called the Tribulation Game, simulating the tribulation. It started while every one was dancing. The C.D started to skip, then a voice came on, there was gun fire in the back ground, along with screaming and Sirens. The Tribulation game had started.
You needed to form a team of some one from each camp. {All the tribes were split up in camps, red, blue, green and yellow.} Then you needed to find a councilor with an Israeli flag. After that you and your team would race around the camp ground visiting different stops with councilors that would help you. You needed to gather up several glow sticks from each position, they would also give you a clue you needed to know where to go to next. The clues would lead you to random letters, which you had to de scramble to form a bible verse. The first ten teams to find the verse won the game. The whole there were more people with highlighters that would 'mark' you with it. They roamed the whole camp grounds, in groups, pretending to be teams, as loners, striking in the shadows. If you were marked to many times, you would be dis-qualified. The markers added a realistic addition to the game.
Sadly, my team lost. The game finished well after midnight.

Camp Yeshua-Part One

So, on July 10th I took off all by my self to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for a week long Messianic camp for youths. {Youths. I hate that word. That's all the camp councelors called us. Youths. Yea, it got annoying.} I stayed with Monte Judah, and his wife. Monte Judah is the founder of Lion and Lamb ministries. Yea, I felt pretty special. Me and some one from Oregan stayed there over night and went to the camp site at around two. After getting situated { found what room I'm in, met my room mates, ect. ect.} Ephraim Judah {Son of Monte, director of camp} told the rules of the camp {After which one of his councelers would break it, like when he said "No cell phones, one of the leaders called him on his phone to complain about him being a cowboys fan.

The worship was led by a Messianic band, called Mason Clover.

All the youths {There's that word again. Man, I got to stop using that word!} were divided into the twelve tribes of Israel. I was in Judah.

Each day the 'tribes' would compete against each other in different out side games. Now keep in mind this is in Oklahoma. It didn't get under 100 degrees, and thats not counting humitity. Now I'm a Montana boy, used to 50- wheather, not Oklahoma weather. Oy gevalt, was it hot.

Excuses, excuses

O.K, so I have not blogged in forever. I would use the excuse "Ive been busy", which, don't get me wrong, I have been busy, but I just haven't wanted to. But, hopefully, I'll blog a lot more. {Can't you tell its almost September 1st? I can almost taste the pizza.}
