Boise, Idaho (Males post)

We embrarked on our trip to Oregon today, 14 hours for the first leg of the trip. It was tiring, but as the ride progressed, we got really lively and the conversations were pretty interesting. We got on the subject of the "Truth behind hip-hop" series, which led to discussions on how the world will turn out in the future. I got to say, its pretty scary how fast bible prophecies are being fulfilled. There are so many hidden messages inside the hip-hop songs, and even other music. The devil was the head musician in heaven before he was cast out into heaven. The bible didn't say anything about him losing his musical abilities. Maybe the devil is going to try and use music to take over the world. Well we are excited for Pioneer Boot camp. We know God is gonna move in this town, we are in a revival, lets pray God will allow a nation wide revival to be sparked through PBC.

I know Robert is eager to see Boise State, so maybe we'll head over there before we head out. I find it amazing how people say Colorado is green and beautiful, compared to the states we have pasted through, Colorado has nothing on them. There were luscious green trees with pastures flowing further than we could see. Foot hills and mountains rolled towards the horizon, captivating our eyes. Livestock roamed throughout the feeds, cows, sheep, goats, llamas, a variety of animals. I'm getting hungry.

Stop #1- Boise, Idaho

We are here! After a 13 hour drive with a few stops for gas, we are finally in Boise. God kept us safe and nobody got hurt. We will stay the night here, then off in the morning to get to Oregon. We slept A LOT, or some of us did. Abby hardly slept at all, while Robert and Shanity practically slept the whole time! Mrs. Cherise and Pastor Marshall switched off on driving. We all tried to keep ourselves entertained with games. We went around and named things in a certain category, such as movies- that one lasted forever. Some also played card games such as Go Fish and Spades. Nobody killed eachother, so that is a plus. Now we are in the hotel getting ready for dinner. Between playing games and having long convorsations about little baby fetuses and Jesus/Heaven and Hell, it was a good trip. All of the suitcases were crammed underneath the girls' seats, so our legs were in pain, but we made it. Aren't you proud? I just thought I'd mention that the hotel is beautifully nice (like my wording?). The air smells like lilac and is heavy- as Abby says- but it's gorgeous. That is all I can think to write to you now. We hope you all have a nice trip tomorrow! Keep us in your prayers. See you all soon. Until next time,

So long, fare well, to you my friends...

Ha, anyone ever watch "Out of the Box"? I love that show...I always wanted to do the crafts and learn their song at the end. That's where I got the title of this post. But anyways, we pioneers are leaving in about 13 hours!!!! I can't believe it's here already. I still have to pack. I just got back from the store, talk about last minute. We are pumped though. I hope you all are prayed up and ready to go! I prayed so hard in the prayer room this morning for safety and for fruit and unity. We are done practicing. We have 2 or 3 rap songs and about 4 skits, plus a few movies, compliments of Pastor Marshall. Pastor Tim and his family headed to Sinapore yesterday, so we will be answering to Zach, their youth director (correct me if I'm wrong). The rest of you leave in less than 48 hours! I hope you're prayed up, suited up, and packed up! If not, you better get started. We will be leaving at 4am.

Oh, so you all know how I said we would be staying in 3 states? Well that got changed, we are now staying in 4 states in one week! I couldn't be happier. On the way there, we are staying in Idaho, while there, we are staying in Washington, but yet the church is in Oregon, and on the way back, we are staying in Utah. We pioneers are ready to go! Well, for the most part. We are praying for all of you and hope you're doing the same. I should probably go pack now. Until next time...

Getting Much Done?

Only three more days until Pioneer Boot Camp and we are all SO excited.. and I think some people are too excited... Cough Cough Daniel Cough. By the way, David had no idea this was going on until the end of the video. I apoligize for the angle of the video I was holding the camera wrong. Pray that the rest of us roadrunners can survive a week with these crazy guys!

DENTONATORS!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, it's Natalie of the Denton Dentonators. For the past few months, we've been preparing for PBC. We started our skits last week, but have a rap group prepared for outreaches. We started a little band, but we decided not to go through with that. We are so excited for PBC!!! We head to Denton, Texas in less than 4 days!

Tonight we had our last leaders meeting and I have to say we are very excited. Going over some last minute details, we still are having practices this whole weekend. Can't wait to see what God has in store for all these cities, the pastors and what God has in store for everyone. We are praying for all the teams. ABQ Roadrunners

Buckle Up

We are nearing the final stretch to the beginning of pbc. Everyone is anxious to go and i'm sure praying for these trips to go well, and that a mighty harvest will come out of this in which God can reap much fruit. We have to remember to keep a right attitude and heart and to keep our spiritual guard up, or the devil will try to discourage us and keep us from doing the Will of God.

Well another practice down for the 180's, and surely one to remember. I found a wonderful costume that works well with the boyfriend part in the Everything Skit, hopefully it gets approval, if not, I wont cry. We all have been working vigorously to be prepared for this trip. I'm sure with just a little more practice, we could probably do these skits without a single mess up. Our rappers have also started up, so our group isn't without some musical talent. So look out Portlan Oregon, because your about to get rocked! (cheesy lines are the best)

Keep praying everyone, God has something great planned for the youth, and we got to have Faith and keep walking.
