Hi guys
this week’s blog is from Jacob Joe and Nathan Pun. As the prayer leader and the prayer leader's pairing, we decided to tell you
stories from our past and connect with prayer request that you should pray for.
Also, make sure you read all the way to the end.
Fondest Church Memory
Nathan: My fondest church memory was 2
years ago when I was in 8th grade and we had to run the maze for
autumn festival. We made the maze very short, but it was pitch black with only
a strobe light and wall that we were able to walk through. We also had Dylan
Che dress up as slender man, which looked pretty real. As you can imagine, with
Dylan as slender man and walls that we can walk through, the maze was
horrifying. I won’t go into too much detail with the rest of the maze, but we
made it a bit too scary. We made a couple kids cry.
Jacob: My one of the fondest moments
for church for me was during Hi Koi. The Senior Honor Nights, now I pulling
photos from my archive of FB photos of past themes.
Theme:
Mary Poppins
We
were the Chimney Men lol
Theme: Bon Voyage
Theme: Super Smash Bros
I’m an Ice Climber
Prayer Request: Pray for the children at our
church. Pray for their spiritual growth and that they will have a stable
foundation in God.
Favorite Camp or Wire Memory
Jacob: I’ll choose a WiRe memory… now,
as you may know and I’m not the greatest writer in developing imagery and
background information so I’ll answer with pictures, because a picture is worth
a thousand words.
I’ll
leave you with a picture of one time we had prime rib, now we all know the end
pieces are the best because of the skin…so we got a little excited. I think my
expression shows how delicious it was,
Nathan: My memory is also from WiRe.
Since I have only gone to WiRe once, you could guess when this was. This was
the first time my grade actually started talking to each other and hanging out
WITH OUT BEING FORCED TO!!!!!! Whoa. I know. It was a big accomplishment for
us. But, it was great seeing most of my grade just playing around at the
playground and talking to each other for the first time.
Prayer Request: Pray for WiRe which will be
coming up soon. Pray for good planning and that the speaker would really impact
all of us.
Favorite High School Memory
Nathan: Drum line. I have to say my
favorite memories from last year were from drum line. I love to perform in
front of people and just doing something that is different. I remember just
hanging out with my friends, talking, eating and sweating. There was a lot of
practice involved, but it paid off because we got third place out of all of
Southern California. Hopefully I can make even more memories this year
performing in front of more people.
There
are a lot of people in this picture, but that’s alright because I’m in the
front.
Jacob: Cross Country and Track. Whether one would call running a sport,
Cross Country and Track were my sports for 4 years. Now throughout my archives
of photos, I couldn't find the defining photo of me on my sprinting form. As I
would be coming in on the home stretch, people would always think I’d pass out
because I would move my short arms moving like t-rex. Tilt my head to the left
and looking up. Eyes would roll back. Terrible form, but I love the last 100
meters of a long distance race.
Here’s
a picture of my marvelous running face.
Prayer Request: Pray for all the non-Christians
at your school. Pray that you could show your friends who God is. Also, pray
that you would be a stable Christian at school even when people start to
question you.
What do you like to do?
Jacob: Sports. Anything really, watching or playing I just love every
aspect of it. The strategy that comes into play, the techniques the athlete has
to make the most efficient moves, and the disciple that is necessary that leads
for success. If you want to talk about what sport you do, or debate about
professional sports I am down to talk about it with you!
Nathan: Reading. I know that sounds
weird, but I love reading when I’m bored. I also like to play pokémon. Pokémon
is the best. I can’t wait for pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to come
out. I know I sound like a nerd, but I love pokémon, not the show but the video
game. What else do I like to do hmmmmm……. Oh I know. I like to sleep and eat,
which is what most of my grade does anyways.
Prayer Request: Pray over your hobbies. Pray
that you would praise God in everything you do and that you would spend some
time with God instead of doing what you like to do.
