Hey guys, It has been a while. I just wanted to come on and say that i got invited to Nationals even though I am not in the top 120!!! I don't know if i am going yet due to my schedule and how far behind I am

Lol! No, I wasn't! :P At least, it was hard to learn. It actually wasn't all that hard to perfect - I got it on the second try. :P

Um, hi! Although, I never left! xP

Matthew Minica

Okay! I don't know if I've already asked you this, but are you more of an auditory learner? I think I'm more visual myself… although I can definitely learn both ways.

No, I'm definitely more visual. But, haha, if I listen to it a whole bunch and then look at it, then for a lot of things I'll have it memorized instantly. xP

Matthew Minica

Haha, okay! I'm the same way. I like to listen to things every once in a while to learn them too. Sometimes with some passages it just helps me to remember the exact way it's said in the recording. In 2010 my grandma was kind enough to record all of the verses for us. In recent years I've used Max McLean occasionally, along with recording it myself a couple of times too.

Emily H

Oh wow, that's a lot of verses to record! I recorded myself once…a really long time ago. It worked really well! :P But usually I just do whatever is the quickest way for memorizing. I asked my mom to put the car CD player on repeat for Psalm 103, and so that made it a lot easier to memorize. Even though I didn't purposely listen to the tape over and over, and it was just playing in the background.

Matthew Minica

Yes, it was! It was really great, I used it a lot! Haha, that's one way to memorize something! I haven't ever tried this, but I've heard that if you play scripture while you're going to sleep, and even while you are sleeping, you'll learn it very easily. :D

Emily H

I bet! Lol, one time I did that not on purpose. :P But I wasn't trying to memorize John 1-6 at the time, so I'm not sure if it worked or not. xP

Emily H

And then I think I woke up again at like 2 am because I pulled the CD player off the nightstand making a huge crash. :-/ xP

61754db001e2e2ef52b2b9212cdda1ec?s=128&d=mm

Matthew Minica

Hehe. xP I'm not really. Although I do remember one time when I fell off a bed in an unfamiliar place and didn't wake up. xP I usually sleep really light, but I guess that night I was tired. xP

D31c974fe43f1230dbcb183971bfbdec?s=128&d=mm

Emily H

xP Lol, I usually don't wake up for anything, but I think I did every time I fell out of bed when I was little. I think. xP

Courtney and I do that all the time. There's no break in the conversation, but a complete change in direction because something one of us said reminds the other of something else. We ask each other "Where did this conversation start again?" xP
