Sorry i havent been on in awhile. I am as of 2 months ago a freshman at southwestern high school. my life is currently going great1 i love high school and its going great! My life has changed a lot since i last posted! First of I went to camp (twice to be exact) where there myrealationship with god has grown a ton! I had a great time both week! And if possible I love it more and more each time I go! I cant believe it but the fall SR HIGH retreat is in 2 weeks! Im pumped:) after that I went to Hilton Head on Vaction and that is always! Since school started I have reunited with a couple people that I havent talked to in years and I am now Leading the IMPACT program at my school. That is a progream at my school that meets during lunch and we teach other kids about God! Its really fun and I enjoy it and try to learn from it because I have recently decided that I want to become a youth pastor when I grow up. I am in high school and need to start thinking about my future. Honestly I have grown so much as a person and in my faith with god that it is incridable!!!! I am now in XFORM and its pretty sweet gotta be honest! High school has been super fun and I am defidently looking forward to the future. Finally musical try outs were this week for this years musical Bye Bye Birdie. I GOT INTO THE MUSCIAL. I am super happy! Another thing that I learned this summer how to be confident and this is just one example of success! I am looking forward to the future and relizing that I am growing up (haha)!!:)
God Bless,

Scholarship
As y'all know I LOVE CAMP MISSION MEADOWS!!!!!!!! Last year I was so impacted by this girl who was there on a scholarship, when I got home I decided I wanted to do something. One of the many gifts got gave me was the gift of helping people. I love helping people it gives me great joy! I am so blessed in my life! I mean I get to go to my favorite place in the entire world like 3 times a year! That's awesome! First of this girl had been and 9 house fires with no injurys I thought that was a miricle in it self. When this girl shared her testament it had a great impact on me and I wanted to do something for people like her who have been through a lot, want to go to camp but can't because of money, and love & want to praise God! So when I got home I decided to do something about this. So I came to the conclusion that I should start a scholarship to send a kid to camp who like her loved God, didnt have all that much money, and have been through a lot. The next week week was my birthday I just asked for money from every one I made around $75-100. Around Christmas I also asked for money I also knew that it wasn't possible to make like $275, so I asked for donations. In Christmas money I made around $150! Then I sent out papers to all my family members to explain what I was doing and they were happy to help. Now came the hard part finding the right person to sponser. I just made all the money last month ($350) of my own Money and savings. I asked God to put a person on my heart that he believes would be the right person. Last week I finally found the right person to sponser. It took almost I year but thats fine! She will be going to camp for Full spectrum 2. Our church moto says "to know God, and make him known" I think by making one person known to God that will make I big difference. I think I have really grown In my faith with God and that he is really working in me through this. I will share this story tommorw when I get CONFIRMED!!!!
Love,
Maddie

Good Friday
Easters almost here! Today is Good friday. I'm sure you already know this but I just want to see if I'm right. Good friday was the day when Jesus had his last supper. Am I right? On sunday it will be Easter. Our family is greeting at our church. We are having 3 services this year. My family is greeting at the third one. I like greeting because that way i get to meet new people who hopefully have a relationship with Christ. But, there are always thoose people who only come to church on holidays (like Christmas and Easter). But most people are there beacuse love God. Well have a good Easter and a good, good friday.

How my spring breaks going
spring break is awesome. I have got to sleep in a lot lately (i usually dont get to do that). Yesterday I spent the day with my cousins in erie. First we ate at the olive garden at lunch. Then we went back to there house and hung out for about an hour and a 1/2. after that we went to the zoo. The monkeys were my favorite. They were really funny. Have you every been to a japanese resteranut? We went to one and it was super fun. They cook the food right in front of you and act really silly. It tasted very unike. Finally, we drove back to jamestown and spent the night at my grandparents house. It was fun but, at the end of the day i was very tired. I hope i have a good rest of spring break.

Spring break
Tomorrow is our last day till break. Unfortunately I'm not going anywhere this year. Last year I went to Hilton head island in SC. It was fun but we go there a lot. I'm just gonna sleep in, enjoy my vacation, hang out with my friends, and hopefully get a tan if it gets warm enough (but it probably won't) lol. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day because every one just wants to get out of school and go on vacation. The good news is I will be here on Easter Sunday and as usually like on Christmas and Easter we are greeting lol. Have a great Easter. Do they celebrate that in china Anneli? And are you coming hope Rachel?
Love,
Maddie

No school Monday
We have no school on Monday! Yeah! Since we went back to school earlier than everyone else for Christmas break we don't have school. I am going to spend my day doing a Spanish project though:( tonight I am going to watch "The Help"with my mom I hear that is suppose to be really good. My sister and dad are at the faith night hockey game with my grandpa. I went to Becca's (my mentor for conformation) baby shower today. She doesn't know if she is having a boy or girl yet. I hope it's a girl. She is due April 7th. Also today I went to my cousins house and watched eclipse (the 3rd twilight movie) I didn't like it that much it just wasn't my style. I like movies like courageous and blindside. Other than that I didn't really do anything today. I hope you had a good day.

Guppies
Tonight I am going to my favorite resteraunt! It's called guppies and it's in Maple Springs, NY. My parents now the owners and there really nice. They just had a baby boy named Miller. It is a very small resteraunt. They have the best food in the whole county. I get the chicken wings. The best part is its only a couple minutes away from mission meadows. Sometimes we go up and see it we don't stop but its good to remember the memory's. Oh and it's by sunset bay. If you haven't been there you should go.

Almost High School ;)
Today was a good day! I had an asemblely on what my life will be like in the high school. Wow time has gone fast. It seems like I was just starting middle school and now in a few months I will be in high school! We start scheduling next week. I met my new principle today and he seems really nice. I am still deciding on what I should do for my electives. What did you do for your electives? I am thinking about taking studio art which leads into photography which interests me and I think would be fun. I am taking choir cause I like to sing, and I like to cook so I am thinking about doing gourmet. Do those sound good to you? I need to plan this right so I have enough credits. As far as clubs there are a lot I want to do. My parents want me to do S.A.D.D. which stands for Students Against Drunk Driving. My parents would love if I did this especially because my dad is a police officer. Also I think it would be a good awareness program and I think students should be against drunk driving. I like to take pictures so I want to be in year book club, and finally I want to be in Spanish club because Spanish is one of my best subjects and every 3 years they go on a field trip to a different country and I have never been out of the country (other than Canada). I am so excited for high school

Boston
This summer I went on a trip with my school to Boston, Massacutts. We drove up on a coach bus and it took 6 hours. On the way up there we watch Forest Gump:), Blindside, and anothor movie that I don't know cuz i fell asleep. We had to wake up at 5:00 in the morning and get on the bus at school. As you might know i am NOT a morning person! And i think you can tell from camp i am not an easy person to wake up. I am the type of person who likes to sleep in. Anyway we drove there and it took a while. We stopped 2 times once for lunch (i got chicken nuggets, fries, and a pop) and another for a break. they were both about 15 mins to a half hour. Then we were back on the road again! We were there 5 days and we did a lot.It was only $600.
The First day we went to the Old Sterbrige Village. It was what Boston was like 'back in the olden days'. Then we went to this awesome resteraunt called Fire and Ice. It was like a buffet you could get what ever you wanted and they would cook it in the middle and joke around. It was really funny and really cool.
