So this weekend I was faced with a decision, go to the Living Proof conference with my friends, or go to this thing I had no idea about with no one I know. Well, as is said in my title, I chose the thing I had no idea about. It was a lock in! I had more fun last night than I have pretty much EVER had! That was the best decision I made! Ill tell you a bit about it:
-Arrived in downtown LA at a church around 7:00 friday night.
-Very awkward to start with! But soon, I met a girl named Grace! She was so LOUD and so bubbly! She was AWESOME! Grace pretty much took me under her wing and i went around with her! I love her!
-People started arriving, I made some friends, and soon enough, we were all shootin hoops inside the church!
-So we had a chapel type thing and a lesson etc. Then we began having fun!
-First, we played "Sharky sharky in the darky darky"! That was awesome but some people ended up with some bruises! Then we played a game where u were in a chain and the front of your chain had to catch the back of the other chain! FUUN!! I ended up on the outside of what was kinda like a line spinning abround except of course, the person on the outside goes VERY fast! I cracked up and let go. Kinda went flying when I let go! Haha! Then we played sardines in the dark. Then we played "Honey if you love me you'll give me a smile" which was hilarious! I laughed so hard last night that my abs hurt SO bad!
-After the games, some people were trying to sleep so we went into the sanctuary and lay around and told scary stories and stuff. It was kool.
-THEN, we went to a "secret" room all the way at the back of the church, above the balcony seating and we hung out there. There were no lights so we got candles and sat around and talked. Now, this room was not what I would call "nice". There was no ceiling and there was crap all over the ground. They are in the process of fixing it up. The good thing, you looked out a window and you could see the sky scrapers and all of downtown LA! It was beautiful! We decided to stay up there until sunrise so we talked, laughed, cryed, told jokes, scared people (although that was mostly done to me!). It was an amazing time of fellowship! I really felt God in that room! So yeah, we waited for the sunrise only to find out we couldn't see it because a building was in the way! But, since a lot of the people up there left to go play b-ball of w/e downstairs, we found a water gun and had a mini-water fight while we were still up there! So much fun! So yeah, then we went down and hung out.
-Everyone found out that when I laughed really hard, I make NO noise! The pastor was like..... "What's wrong with her??? She needs to breath!! Look at her shoulders! Wow, its like she is having muscle spasms or something!" Haha. Good time, good times!
-Today, we did a devotion and stuff and then went on a "scavenger hunt" where we looked for clues etc. The thing was, we were running around one of the worst places for crime in LA! Kinda scary but super fun! So then, we ate lunch, and then, the best part: we had sleeping bag races down the stairs! There were two staircases leading to the second floor so we had one person either side. Even I did it! I absolutely loved it! One guy decided to go down on empty pizza boxes! Didn't work so good! It was funny!
-So that was my friday night/saturday. Btw, I have not closed my eyes (as in napped/sleeped) since 6:30am friday morning! Thats like over 30 hours of NO sleep! But once we were running around for the scavenger hunt, we forgot we were tired! l0l.
-Another reason I really enjoyed the Lock-In was because I finally met a guy who is like my "perfect" idea of a guy. He was chill when we were just hangin, he was not over competitive in b-ball like most guys, and whenever God or the Bible came up, he was so passionate about it! He never disrupted when we were talking about God etc. He had an awesome personality and definitely a strong Christian! SO yeah, that is the type of guy that I would be able to check off all my requirements for! Haha, so at least I know they do exist!
-Hardest part of the night: not having my phone. They made us turn them off and give them to them. I felt naked w/o it but we had so much more fun than if we would have with them!
-I met a girl, her name is: Xiomara! Isn't that cool?!??!?!!?
-It was pretty sad leaving, but I am going to camp in the summer and THEY ARE ALL GOING!!! I am so excited now!!! I am so overtired now! haha.
