Possible Mission Trip?

Putting It to Good Use

   My parents and I have been talking and we are trying to find a way for me to make a trip to Belarus in June. We aren't 100% on it happening, but it would be a great experience if it happened. I would be going to an English camp with people my age and "attempting" to talk to them. Another thing we are looking into is finding a way to get our friend Sergey from Belarus to here for a week or so. It would be pretty cool to have someone from another country stay at your house for that long, and to meet someone who you have only seen online. He also says he was the best player on his high school basketball team, so I'm sure he'd enjoy the basketball goal in our backyard. 

   Updates on my life would include my girlfriend breaking up with me, which really sucked. I'm only 17 though, and it being my first relationship I can't expect too much. Life goes on or whatever they say. I'm looking forward to co-op starting back, especially with the coding class, which reminds me: I really hated having to blog at first, but it's not that bad. I get to talk about pretty much anything that interests me, plus it's something I can do to take a break from schoolwork and not get yelled at.

   Tonight, 1/10/2018, I'm actually leading a bible study for my youth group. We were given the option to choose a piece of "the armor of God" and make an entire lesson about it. I didn't want to, but after some pressure from my youth pastor (all he really said was, "I think you would do good with it") I decided to focus on the belt. I have a lot planned, so typing it all would be very exhausting. And it's more of a physical "group lesson" sort of thing, if that makes sense. That's pretty much everything going on. I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas.
