Pictures of the missions trip to Texas!

These are some of the pictures I took in Texas. I had a really good time. I hope you enjoy looking at these. If you haven't read about my trip scroll down the blog posts.



This was the main room in our side of the church. The bedrooms with the bunk beds were off of this room. This is where we kept all of our luggage.



This was the shower trailer:-)



This is the van that we rode in. It was a 15 passenger van, but we usually fit in at least 20:-)



This is Ryan. He used to live in Del Rio but now he lives in Germany. He flew to Del Rio to help us.



This was my bed. As you can see, it isn't made:-)

Days 8, 9 & 10

Day 8
Today Master Woolman took us(Me, Daddy, Ryan, Hailey, Mr. Dan, and Amanda) into Mexico to shop. We had a great time. I was very thankful that Master Woolman had made it possible for us to go. When we got back we had to go do a demo at the mall, we did the same thing that we did at the church in Mexico. Then some of the girls went shopping. I went to the Wilson's and had a snack and played Uno Attack with Forrest. Then it was time for conformation. We had to do forms, a few kicks, and break concrete. I broke 2 pieces of concrete. I broke it wrong though and I hurt my wrist. I was just glad that the concrete still broke:-) Daddy and Mrs. Tina both hit theirs wrong and hurt their hands and wrists. We all sat around with bags of ice:-) We had Dominoes for supper. Then we went back to the lodgings and went to bed.

Day 9
I got sick this morning. So I stayed at the lodgings instead of going to church and slept for awhile. Mrs. Tina, Daddy, and Amy took good care of me:-) I was feeling better by the time they got back from church. We went to the Scheller's for lunch. They had a swimming pool. So we went swimming:-) When we left there we went to the church to teach the beginners class. Jackson and Taylor joined TKD. I helped in the beginners class the first hour and in the Little Gators the second hour. After that we went to the lodgings to pack. I took a shower and I packed up all my stuff. Then we went to Applebee's for supper. It was very yummy. Then we came back and went to bed.

Day 10
We got up at 6:00am this morning because our suitcases had to be in the hallway by 6:30am. We left at 7:00am. It was a 3 hour drive to the Antonio Airport and I slept part of the way. So it didn't feel like that long of a drive. We got to the airport at 10:15am and checked in our bags. Mine was exactly 50lbs. That is has heavy has it can go or you have to pay for the extra pounds. Then we went through security. After that we all ate some lunch. I had McDonald's. Then we boarded the plane and took off. We were on our way home:-)

Day 7...

Today was the last day of Sports Camp. Kayley led three older girls to Christ in her small group today. We practiced for the parents night. We set up for the second Sports Camp and then went to the lodgings to eat lunch. We came back for the second Sports Camp and then we had to set up for Parents Night. There was a little boy in the monkeys who became very attached to me. He decided that he wasn't going to go up and do the stuff or break a board in front of all the parents. So afterward Daddy was going to let him break his board but he refused to. His mom started to get frustrated with him so I asked her if I could try to get him to break his board. After about 15 minutes of trying to convince him to break it. He finally broke it! He was so proud of himself. He gave me a big hug and his mom took a picture of him breaking his board. Then after the parents night a few of us went to see the Batman movie "The Dark Night". Reid came with me and Daddy. Pastor Wilson's neice who was staying with them for the summer and I became pretty good friends. She came and with us and she sat beside me at the movie. It wasn't all that great. When we got back Amanda was upset about the movie. So Jill, Amanda, Maddison and I stayed up until 2am talking about the movie. Then we all went to bed.

Day 6...

This morning I got up and got ready for camp. We got to the church and I was asked to help in the beach volleyball area. It was not a very good place to be. The morning camp did okay with it, but the afternoon camp was terrible. They wouldn't listen, they were rude, and they would hit the balls really hard and the helpers would have to run and get them. Then this little boy who comes to the 1st camp came and helped me. He was there because his sister was in the afternoon camp. After that I helped Mrs. Sosa in her tumbling class:-) I don't know how I got chosen to help her in there! I can't tumble at all:-) Then Grandmaster Sosa was teaching the little gators. So Master Jamie told me to watch so that I would know what to teach in our school's little gator class. Tonight we went to Mexico to do a demo at a church. It was one of the most amazing things we did during the whole trip. The people at the church had a great and amazing love for the Lord. They cried, they danced, they laughed, and they even shook tambourines while they were singing and dancing. We did Kungfu Panda, One-Steps, The purse skit, Pirates, Breaking, and Secrets. I sis one-steps with Hailey. I did a regular round kick and a tornado kick to break my boards. Master Woolman preached and 6 people prayed to receive Christ. Kayley also led a little girl to Christ in her small group. On the way back from Mexico we stopped be McDonald's to eat supper. Then we all went to bed.

Day 5...

Today was Mrs. Kay(the cook's) birthday. We made her a big card and sang "Happy Birthday" to her. Her and her husband are really nice and make really good food. So then we left for the church. We did "For By Grace" and the Heaven skit. I was the Grace in "For By Grace" So then we came back for lunch and then went back to the church for the second camp. After the second camp we had demo practice. Half way through the demo practice it started to rain. It rained really hard for about 10 minutes and then it just stopped. When we walked outside after the rain had stopped there was a gigantic puddle right in front of the door. So then we came back to the "lodgings" for supper. After supper we had to practice the demos for Mexico. Then Grandmaster Sosa and his wife arrived. They are really nice. After that I went to bed.

Day 4...

I woke up this morning and got ready to go. My arm had been hurting yesterday and it was kind of raised up and swollen. So this morning I decided to show Doc. Cromwell. I had tennis elbow(the muscle in my arm was inflamed). So he told me to not lift anything heavy and to basically try not to use it. He gave me some lotion to put on it. It stings and it smells a lot like Bengay:-) It is called Pain-a-Trate. He said it could be a little while before it stops hurting. I helped Amanda do the laundry today. Daddy is gone right now. He is at the church setting up for tomorrow. I played some cards with Hailey and Amanda and eventually Kayley and Jill joined in. Then we ate supper. After supper I played a game of spoons. Then Mrs. Tina, Hailey, and I folded some laundry. We also made the boast sign for "For By Grace". Then Mrs. Tina and I played cards. It was a pretty good day. Grandmaster Sosa comes tomorrow.
