Summer has really begun

Last week, Megan and Janelle came to spend the week with me. We did the Seattle tourist thing and had a lot of fun, but now it's over. Being home has been nice so far, but I really miss Redding. I really have enjoyed church lately. I have begun taking membership classes, and I am really excited to become an offical member of Alliance Bible Church. My parents don't understand why it's so important to me, since most of the year I am not in Redding. I think the main reason is that sometimes, it's hard for me to go to my church when I'm used to the Stirring. They are two very different groups of people, and my love for the Stirring makes me feel like I don't belong at my church anymore. I think that becoming a member at my church will help me feel more a part of it. I have been asked to help with high school girls and to join the worship team. I'm really excited to really be involved at my church. I've also been a part of the adult sunday school class for the last two weeks, and I had never been a part of it before. I actually can contribute to the discussion with things I have learned at Simpson. It's really exciting to be able to live out what I learned at school.
