I'm Back!!!

Hey I'm back from DCLA and I am soooo happy! DCLA was so fun (and so was Disneyland!!) I learned a lot from it and now if I witness to one of my friends I at least know some stuff that can help me through. Anyway, when we first got there (after 9 hours in the van) we went to the church in LA. It was nice but it was real big. After that, we went to the Hilton where the confrence was being held. After we got in, we soon realized that practicly 85% of the population was made up of korean people! And by the way there was 5,000 people there. Then we went to the room where all the shopping was done and went shopping. After that we went to the Big Room. This is where all the concerts and sermons were done. And guess what......I was about 15 feet away from David Crowder Band!!! It was so cool! But anyway we got back to the church at about 11 P.M. and went to sleep. The next morning, we went back to the Hiltonand in the other section is where the Labs were held and the Lab is like the place where you learn about how to witness to people and guess what in my Lab group, I was the only white person. It stunk, because one of them didn't speak english and another had to translate and the others just wouldn't talk unless they were forced, so I had to answer almost all of the questions that our leader asked us. But after that me and Jason played on the escalater until the high schoolers got out.

That night we went to the Super Chick concert and it was awesome!! And the night after the next we went to the Hawk Nelson concert!! (That's my favorite band by the way)

On Friday we went to one more Lab at like 8 A.M. and then it was all over and so the rest of the day we went to like this one glow in the dark minigolf place and then we went to this super good Italian resturant with a few of Melony's friends. When we got back to the church that night we were going to play sardines, which in case you don't know is where one person hides in any room in this building that is like the Jeffery's building times 2 and when someone finds you, you have to squeeze in next to them like sardines and you can't move or make any noise, oh and did I mention ITS PITCH BLACK! It was so freaky!! the first one wasn't too bad but the second one pastor Lugo kept popping up out of no where and scaring us! And the third round we weren't allowed to be with anyone but Alex could because she was scared out of her mind. But I couldn't handle being by myself in this huge building so I followed Alex and Melony for about 15 min. and then I went to find Stephany and Kara. In the last round we were trying to find Pastor Lugo and we couldn't so we went outside on the roof and Kara went inside and yelled to him that the game was over and when he came outside we through rocks at him (don't worry, they were little).

The next morning Melony woke us up and said, " You guys! You gotta wake up! We're going to Disneyland!" and we totally didn't beleive her because they had been telling us, " When we pass Tower of Terror, you just have to imagine you're there" all week and so when she told us we didn't believe her and so she kept saying that she wasn't lying while kara was saying, " STOP! Stop lying!" and Stephany said, " Liars burn in Hell Melony so stop lying!" and Alex said, "If you are lying I am gonna be really mad and I said still laying in bed half asleep, "If this is a trick to try and get me up, it ain't happenin'!" It took her like ten minutes to finally convince us that we were going to Disneyland. Then we went into the guys room to tell Jason and he didn't believe us until we told him we were dead serious.

So then there was Disneyland. The first thing we did was ride space mountain twice, then Indiana Jones, then we went to California Adventure and rode soarin' over California, then rode California Screamin' twice, then Tower of Terror twice, then ate lunch at like noon, then we went on Grizzly Bear Rapids, then we went on Sceamin' two more times and then we went to Disneyland and then went to the Haunted Mansion, the Splash Mountian, and the last ride we went on was Thunder Mountain Railroads. Then we ate a turkey leg, went shopping and left at like 11:30. It was soo much fun

Well this morning wasn't anything special. We just got up packed up our stuff and left. This time we left and got back to Vacaville at like 3 PM . Then we went to the Cheyane house and spent the rest of the day there and then we came home.

I had a lot of fun on the trip!! Hope to see you soon! God Bless.
