Merry Christmas Family and
Friends,
This year my discipleship
girls and I sat down and wrote out our favorite memories together from
2013. It was fun to hear them recollect
the things we had done over the past year.
This letter is a collection of paragraphs of what each of them had to
say about the past year.
Hi, I
am Alexa Sapphire Weaseltail. I am a
member of Hope Fellowship Church. My
favorite part of 2013 was in the summer when we built a shed at the new church
building. I also remember in the summer
when we floated down the Yakima River.
We played a game in the river where we raced upstream to the closest
branch. I also love singing with Heather
and being a leader at Sunday Church. My
favorite songs to sing are: On Jordan’s Stormy Banks, Our God, More Love, Soon
and Very Soon, and Amazing Grace.
Hello,
my name is Yaanibaah Starr Singer. I am
14 and I am in the 9th grade.
2013 hasn’t really been good, because I have had a family member pass
away. It was sad, because they were very
close to me. But after all that has
happened I have had really close friends that supported me and made me feel
special and loved. I am really glad
that I have them. I have had some really
good times at youth group with all of them because they support me every time I
go there. Over this year I have been
nice to a lot of people because I am thankful for a lot of things and I am
thankful I turned to the Lord.
Hello,
my name is Justine Andrade. I am 13. The best part of 2013 was my birthday with
the d-group at Dairy Queen.
My name
is Miranda Dehart. The best thing that
was fun about this year was when we did work on the [church] building. When that happened I got paint in my
mouth. My favorite part of Hope
Fellowship Youth Group is coming together and singing and praying
together. I have learned that Jesus died
on the cross for us and sacrificed for us on the cross.
Hello,
my name is Judy Bergevin. I’m in 8th
grade and my favorite part of 2013 was meeting all the interns over the
summer. I miss everyone that I met over
the summer because they meant a lot to me.
I got complimented on art so I got inspired to be an artist. I’m in art
class and doing I’m doing hard tasks.
My name
is Whitney Lewis. This year I really
liked being in the Harrah Parade (with the youth group). I really liked my birthday and Halloween and
Easter. I am in Heather’s D-group.
My favorite memories surround
my d-group girls. I have loved having
the girls in my home this year for d-group, or slumber parties or just for the
weekend when they needed a place to stay.
My house feels more complete when it is full of girls.
We are very eager to get into
our new church building in January. Hardly a week goes by without one of the youth
or children asking about the progress on the building. The building will multiply our options for
outreach. It will be a safe haven for
children and youth throughout the week.
We are in the midst of raising funds for a playground, basketball court,
volleyball court, and playing fields to complete the facilities. Pray with us for the completion of our
building and facilities as we enter a new year.
Thank you for all of your love and support.
