sad day =[

so today 3 of my friends frm arizona left. i was okay about two of them leaving because i had only been with them for a week.....but when the guy[ben] left i was soooooo uspet! I have been with him almost constantly for the past 8 weeks and now he is gone and i dont know when i will see him again!=[ last night me, and the 4 others that i have been with for this past week were talking and ben goes "This is the first time i can actually say that i will probably not be able to come back next summer" I was so flippin close to crying when he said that....but i held it in. then when we dropped him off at the airport...i was fine....until he gave me a hug and said bye then i was so close to crying again but once again i held it in. then me and mom got in the car and she said something and the same thing happened. i would be totally fine if i knew he was coming back but i dont! he will be in the navy next summer and im pretty sure the only way i wil get to see him during this year is if i go to phoenix. but mom cant leve my grandparents for more than like 12 hours. im pretty upset about that but at least i got to spend so much time with him this summer. okay well i am gonna be home tonight but i leave again 2morrow morning and i will be going to carpinteria! yay! the beach! woohoo! but yeah. okay well i will highlight some stuff that happened this past week.
-i am the official "Water Chugging Champion"! i chugged a bottle of water in 13 secs. it was fun!
-i can say the alphabet in one word
-10 people accepted Christ this week!
-i made friends with people who live in michagan
-i got so sleep deprived that i had the worst headache for like 3-4 hours. i was so tired but then i got overtired and was hyper.
-i got so much closer to 4 of my friends
-we went to china town on wednesday
-i went to an awesome japanese store thing in torrance
-we went to the beach on thursday
-i learned hhow to step back and let others take charge even if they dont know what they are doing
-i realized how awesome my youth leader is!

yeah thats about all i can think of right now.

im sorry about ben, i know it can be hard.
im excited that so many people got to come toChrist, and that you had a part in it- that makes it all seem so real, doesn't it?
i cant wait to see you again, it feels like forever, even though it was only like 2 weeks ago
