so i ended up calling my friend Kaliegh but the funny thing is how i got her #. I don’t have cell phone so i had to use my friend Leah’s cell phone. I called my parents to get the # of my good friend Stephen and then call him and ask him for Kaliegh’s # since she had given it to him b4. so after i called Stephen and got Kaliegh’s number the devil got in my head and was like “Christina, you shouldn’t call her! she probably hates you anyways! why even try to make it worse?” and i was like “no devil, i’m calling her” so i stepped out into the hallway and i called her…it felt like it was forever before…her answering machine picked up…i left her a message, hung up, and walked back inside.

After I returned home from Lincoln Nebraska where i had gone to the conference, i went to church the next day. I saw Kaliegh there and I said, “we need to talk” and she said “ok”. the thing about her is she goes to church but she isn’t much of a christian…she smokes, and probably other stuff but i don’t get into her personal life. anyways, we sat and talked and she kept on getting distracted and i kept on stressing to her that this was imporatnat…the sad thing is i lost my G.O.S.P.E.L. thing and the booklet thingy u gave us the 2nd day, u know the one about “Rock, Paper, Scissors”? well, of course u know, u were there…anyway, i told her G. and O. and that was it…and nothing in her life (that i know of) changed…i know I planted a seed in her life but she hasn’t really changed…it kinda made the attempt seem worthless but i know it wasn;t…i have a feeling that if she rememebers what i told her she’ll think hard on it and decided to come back to Christ with a childlike faith…
thanks for having the most amazing conferences ever!

PS: i didn’t know that we were having a drawing for a Wii, but i wanna be in it..and i absolutly luv Soul Fuel! i look forward to reading it all the time!

When Zane told his story i was like shocked because Zane and i were like in same complete situation.
and we have sooo much alike of common which is kinda werid.
but my story was filled with alchol, drugs, killing myself and huffing all that stuff i done it.

of course some of my freinds are non-believer of jesus christ and i never really told jesus christ to them. soo this time i did during Dare 2 share. some of them were mean to me and they were like ohhh well i dont beleive in jesus Christ and stuff like that. i told them that jesus died for you. do you know which place where you died? or how do you know when you died in heaven stuff like that.

well it was hard at first because they were saying nasty comments but when i told them they were like wow!!!

they now believe in god!! which is great!!!

Going home, she decided to work on her friend Zoe, but not much has happened there yet(that we know of)…however, since the conference, Ellie has been inviting friends, sharing the gospel and has gotten 3 of her friends to attend our youth group on a consistent basis. I’m extremely proud of her, as she’s grown so much, and I just wanted to brag that Ellie rocks.
