You saw my entry in the Prayer Request thread? --> that's what's been going on the past couple weeks. Other than studying for Bible Bee, not much. This summer I got my first job! :D :D :D picking blueberries at a local berry farm. How about you? ---------- TO ALL: I have updated my post with more info 'bout me! :)
Yes, I did……I am so sorry to hear that. I am praying for their family, and for you all. Was she saved?
How is your Bible Bee studying going? Excited for Locals?
That's exciting! Are you working every day/every other day?
We've been busy all summer - which is sort of abnormal for our family, so I'm exhausted. :) We're all excited about Locals, busy with fundraising and preparation for that (we're co-hosts).
With me, I've been busy with various things - laundry (considering the big family we have, there never seems to be an end… xD), Bible Bee, my babysitting job, school, little bits here and there of good book reading, nearly killing myself climbing trees, hiking with Dad, cooking & cleaning around the house, etc. etc. in a big family, there's always stuff to do at home. :)

Do you like bike-riding?
ZachB
@Rosie - Yes, she was saved!! And yes, I am VERY excited … and a ^little^ nervous, as always. My job is Monday through Saturday, from 8am till noon.
@Amara - Yes I do! Last month we were having an issue with one of my pedals not staying on. I think it was because I rode too hard too much. My dad cement-glued it into place and it has been holding. We haven't done much biking since then.

Praise God, we can rejoice that though she is no longer on this earth, she now sees Jesus face to face!! We can sing for her, it is not death to die!
Same here! At times throughout the day, I feel like I'm going bust with excitement (inwardly, of course xD)! Do you feel prepared?
Wow, does that take up a lot of your time to be gone for so long every day?

Wow!! I didn't know you could do that to pedals!! ;)

They allow vacations, etc for our Bible Bee camp, sick days, buzz sessions, etc. I study when I get home.

I could never thanks you enough for saving Memverse the way you have! You came back at the perfect time!
Sarah B.
Yep… well, for a little bit.;)
Yes, he saved Memverse, because if he had not been here there would have been no older Memversers to help instruct and invite you new people into the community. :)
Sarah B.
YAYAYAAAAA!!!!! I will indeed do that! XD
ZachB
I could never thanks you enough for saving Memverse the way you have! You came back at the perfect time!
Haha let's just hope I don't forget about Memverse again! If I do, send me an email and scold me real good!

I definitely will! You are very valuable (as are all our people)!

Dear Zack!
Please take a look at this map. You will see that you only live "Not too far" away from my home state. I'm setting out this invitation for you to come visit me soon! What do you think? Can you come? After all we are practically neighbors. ;)
ZachB
Which means it's "not too far" for you too, right? ;)
Sarah B.
Zackly! I was in Michigan for three days. (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) where were you???
ZachB
I was at my house! Or my grandparents' house. One of those two locations! That is, except for church and such stuff. Where were you?
Sarah B.
Grand Rapids! Is that close to you at all?
ZachB
It is!
Sarah B.
Oooohhhhh! What a shame! :(
ZachB
If you happen to be in Texas in mid-November…
Sarah B.
I sure hope so…. but right now it doesn't seem likely. Keep praying!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Hey Zach! I was trying to access your set you were telling me about, the one that you're making with questions from 7-12. I found it, but can't access it because it's private. =/ Is this accidental, or did you mean for it to private? if so, that's okay. ;)
ZachB
Oh yea, I hadn't made it public yet because there weren't many questions on it yet. It's public now. :)
2 Corinthians 5:17
So I saw, thank you!
ZachB
Yep!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Great to see you at Nats, Zach! :)
ZachB
Thanks - great to see you too, Rachel! Will you be coming back next year to volunteer?
2 Corinthians 5:17
I truly hope and pray so. :)
Sarah B.
I truly hope and pray so. :)
Take me with you!!
ZachB
I truly hope and pray so. :)
Yay! And we'll have to get a new group picture with us and the (_)s, right? xD This year was so awesome, and I was literally crying yesterday and today missing all of ya. Can't wait for next year!!!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Yes. xD We actually saw them in the airport and chatted for 10+ minutes. :) It was. I had some crying spells too. xD xP
ZachB
Yes. xD We actually saw them in the airport and chatted for 10+ minutes. :) It was. I had some crying spells too. xD xP
Yea I know - they texted us and said they saw several Bible Bee peoples at the airport, including you.
Misses them and you all, and starts crying again. Did you happen to bring any tissues this time?
2 Corinthians 5:17
Noo, don't cry. :( hands you a tissue xD Well, I did get a tissue for the Opening Ceremony, and then I really needed one Saturday morning, and I used one Saturday night, and in the airplane I didn't have one. xD xP ^Wow, I cried a lot this week. xP^
ZachB
Too late starts crying even more thinking about all the awesome memories.
Same here. It took like an hour to say goodbye to the (_)s when we left them, and I lost track of the hugs exchanged after 100 (jk - idk how many for sure..)
We just got back to MI today and have snow….I wish I could have been smuggled back with them! xP xP How's it over there with you?
2 Corinthians 5:17
Yeah =/ thinks about them too
Yeah, a lot of hugs were exchanged when we were saying goodbye to the group at the Minica's. :'( x)
It's chilly, but I think it feels good. :D
I'm going to sign off now, ttyl!
ZachB
'Twas the best year ever cries again
I wonder whether there were more hugs exchanged or tears shed? Both have got to be extremely large numbers…
At least you don't have snow!
Alright ttyl Rachel! See ya next year, hopefully! :)
2 Corinthians 5:17
If I was to guess, I'd say more hugs. x) But I could be wrong. :P
Lol, I sort of wish we did have snow! xD
Yes, hopefully!!!!!
ZachB

Probably. It's like hug all your friends and DON'T LET THEM LEAVE!!!!
Brr…I'll have to post the picture I got taken when we got to the snowy region here! shivers

It depends on who you're talking about. I've cried about six times this week, most of them with others.

I meant, overall, there were probably more hugs given than tears shed. ;)
Gloria
Yes! And Henry needs to too. XP
