Waddup Nikkas?!?

Haaahaaaaa.....I crack myself up.....forreal.
ANYway, I've missed you and my internet relationships with yall! Hope you guys are staying strong.....keep fighting suckers!

Yay for an UPDATE!

-I just got back from a mission trip in the Pines of Philip and Hawaii (<--did you know it's actually pronounced "huh-vuh-ee"?). Lots of great stuff....God's so mighty!

^ So that up there is our team minus Mai Mai. Sorry Mai, we'll photoshop you in .

SO much to say....about the team, the work, the people we've met, what God has taught us, random stories...everyTHANG!

For this entry...I'll write about the team. I absolutely LOVE the team. No one complained (even when injured), everyone got along, everyone was real, and everyone just worshipped the Lord and allowed Him to do His thang. No joke. Each and every single one of them was, and is, a blessing to me. I'm not just saying that....God seriously revealed Himself through these people (not to say that He normally doesn't do that....I'm just....saying). Every one of them has pointed me to Christ in one way or another....even through their quirky actions. Sorry for my redundancy kinda...I just can't help it! But yeah, I'm lovin the Body of Christ......and......gosh! PI06 Missions Team--I LOVE YOU GUYS!  .........*tear*


I could write an essay on each person.....but I'll just give you a lil summin summin.... I'll give you 4 people for each entry:

Vianna- She's allergic to dogs! Haha....but forreal, she is one super-cool cat. She jacked up her pinky trying to fix this one toilet in PI....and dude. When I say jacked up...I mean jacked......UP. And it's so funny cuz she's all like, "I'm a baby when things like this happen", but she didn't cry at all....and she was still all giddy n happy....she still worked out (yes, she works out....but guard your hearts boys!)....and she didn't complain ever!!! What a trooper! Trouper? Naw.....trooper! She's also extremely funny! If someone says a joke, she'd just add on and make it funnier! And she could do the FOB accent very well....I'm impressed! Also, she's really good with little kids! It's so cute! Actually, she's just very sociable with all people.....but when you see her with kiddies....it's just cute. And I get blessed. And during team meetings she'd always have something encouraging to say...and she'd always suggest new ideas...and we'd always use her new ideas because they totally worked....and she always had a good attitude about everything (cheerleaders...)...and she's a baby christian yet she understands SO much...and that just reminds me of God's power! Praise God for Vianna G.

^ Vianna and the kiddies ^

MG- emmmmmmmmmmm geeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! <--the whole trip everyone has been saying that because of the funny stuff he says or does. I didn't know MG was so funny! He's high-lariously funny! Like, I know he likes to kill squirrels n all with his bb guns....but he has another side of funny that I've never seen before! Also, he is THE youngest member of the team (15 years old...but his sweet 16 is coming up August 8th I believe....so make sure you wish him a happy birthday....if only there were facebook to remind you). It must be hard being the youngest.....we gave Camille and Nikki so much crap for being the youngest....but MG played it well. Haha. Man, through this trip MG has become a brother to me. He actually looked out for us, even though he was the youngest! He'd walk with us girls (actually it was just Mai) if we wanted to get banana cue down the street, he'd stay with me, Vianna, and Mai in the internet cafe place when there were a lot of boys talking about us in Ilonggo....by the way, he can understand and speak. What a great skill to have! Bilingual! Hahahaha.....I really do crack myself up guys....I'm seriously laughing right now....anyway, I praise God for MG because he really opened up to us, and he talked with the students and got to know them well. I'm so happy we got to go on the trip together!

^ MG sleeping...awww ^

Johnny B- He looks like he's 18....but he's really 25. Praise God! Haha. He also showed his brotherly love toward us all....not just the girls....but the boys as well.....yaknowwhamsayin....hahaha. He'd make sure that we didn't get hit by a car (awwwww...so blessed!), and he'd always be the one paying for the tricycle rides, and if I said some random quote from a movie, he would know what movie it was from...and would usually end up reciting the whole scene! Yayy....haha, and I like Johnny B's stylish clothes! He has plaid shorts....and they're so cool...and everybody's getting them now....and it's all because of him. Way to start the trend Johnny B! Also, he's the one that brought over Kenny (the guy that nobody knew in the pictures)....and I praise God that Kenny got to come on the trip! Anyway, I'm also blessed because many times he would have to preach....and you know when he would find out that he's preaching? Day of! Yaaayyyyyy. Haha....but you could truly see the passion he has for the people when he speaks, and that was blessing. Johnny B. also blessed us by opening up to some of the team when we were in Hawaii......but what happens in Hawaii....stays in Hawaii . Gotcha back Kuya!

^ Johnny B. acting like he's in jail...when he's really in a nice school ^

Joel- Oh Joel. So much to say about this kid. He was born 4 days before me! And....the whole time on the trip he said, "Dude....I miss my dogs." That's Joel for ya. He's also that guy on the trip with that huge book called War and Peace (<--that book's really about marriage....jk....but it is). Anyway, I'm blessed by Joel because he doesn't just straight up believe what someone says, but he looks to the Bible first. Whatta wise guy! No...he really is....he's slow to speak...and he never has anything bad to say about anyone. He's super-funny too! Dude...I could crack jokes all day with Joel...we have the same humor  . One time we were all shopping and he was like, "Oh look! A handkerchief with marijuana on it.....I'm so blessed!" Haha. Also, he really stepped up and took leadership positions...whether it was leading classes, being the one to straight up share the Gospel to VBS kids, or walking older girls that work at Jollibee home, by himself at night in the dark after Catanus Cup in Kabankalan. Oops! Nobody reads xanga.....right?? Hahaha....to be honest with yall, Joel was my first real crush...and I've only had 2 in my entire life! It takes a lot for me to like a boy....so there must be something special about Joel. It could be the chocolate hills....hahahaha. Team One!

^ Yup...Joel got them did ^

Man oh man....that's just 1/4 of the team! There's more to come.....so stay tuned and stay blessed! Hahaha...I'm so queer.
