Nationals

We just got back a little while ago from the National Talents for Christ competition in Lancaster, PA!! It was so much fun!! I did not place, but thanks for everyone who was praying for me, it meant a lot!! I had a ton of people who told me they were praying for me! But it was still a great learning experience!

I felt that I did a great job, and I did my best for the Lord, the judges were just really strict about it... that's okay though, I still have next year!!! I'm so happy for everyone who did place though!!

We had TEN people from Iowa that placed!!! YEAH!!! Eight of whom were on the Tour! Joshua got 1st place in Male Voice; his sister Julie got 2nd in Bible Knowledge; Bekah got 1st in Female Voice; Nick got 1st in Visualized Bible Teaching; Anthony got 2nd in Preaching; Ethan got 1st in Brass; Jessica got 1st in Oral Interpretation of Scripture and Mary got 2nd in Piano.

Five other people from Tour competed but did not place, but we all did a great job, and I'm very proud of everyone!! It was great seeing everyone again as well, and I can't wait to see them again at camp!!

Now I got to finish getting packed for the Mission's Trip - I leave tomorrow! Just got back from a 17 hour drive one way and now I get another 6-7 hour drive! See you when I get back!
