yo yo yo
greeting blogworld!!

yes, i know you all can put the tissues away and rejoice for we are posting an updated blog!
Our weekend was a bit busy and separated. I (adrianna) had to work my first M199 this weekend! most people complain about it, but I LOVE it sooo much! yes, my feet hurt like heck and my back wants to die but i love it! The people are amazing, and the ladies i serve are soooo emotional, haha just kidding. they are amazing and sucha blessing! While i was serving my 16 hours, mandy was at the staff retreat in temecula with the gang. :( .. she had a good time!

today.. we had our first monday class and we found time to draw superman on our book covers.. they were amazing!!!! seriously!... we got a butt load of homework.. and we got the news that we will have omewok everyday!!! ahh haha... um after class, we went to the mall and went ona mission. As we were going down the escalators we remembered that we were supposed to saty on that floor, so brillaint mandy decided to turn around mid escalator and run up the escalator that was going down... this was all fun and games until she totally ate it!!!!! then it became HILARIOUS! oh my goodness bloggers.... i was dying and almost peed my chones!... it was even funnier because it was the thrid time she had triped today! oh man.... goodtimes....

so we tried to start on our HW after the mall "trip", but we remembered we had to go buy something else.. so we moseyed on down to the truck and wound up here.. looking for a good ice cream shop...

no worries mom bloggers we will get our HW done... its only doing an OICA to Psalm 1 and being prepared to share infromt of our 200 plus peers omorrow morning.... we are GOLDEN.. i mean how big IS psalms anyways? .. eh the Lord is in control.... He knows what hes doing... :)

so until tomorrow! (christines coming!!)

so here are the pics for the day...
our trip to wendy's
and in-n-out...and stewarts accent...
and oh yeah we watched this very informational video on how to properly dread mandy's hair (coming soon!)

set apart

Hey blog world, tonight we come to you with a little bit of a more serious approach.
Though, like all the previous days it has been an adventure, it ended with a little bitter-sweet heart ache.
Today we had a few repettative dorm meetings followed by some nasty tuna sandwiches, which required us to drive on down to Wendys. After this we went back to chapel and met up with our new friend from Wisconson named Stuart (aka Stuie). He had some unfortunate news to tell us, and broke our hearts in doing so. Stuart has a series of cronic ceasures that have spaned over the past 3 years, and last night, he was attacked by another. With this news came the bummer news that he was going back home tomorrow! We had planned to all go to In-N-Out because he had never been there before, and he wanted to experience how a “ture” Californian feels. So with no delay, we went! It was amazing!.. he got two cheeseburgers and a fri (he didn’t know about the meals haha) … little stuie also treated us to our meals! Soo sweet! … you’ll see pictures of him and his spilt fries and everything ☺ …

After this life changing experience, we headed back down to evening chapel. This would be normal routine, except for the unexplainable, soft, mushy, warm, fuzzy, Im a good friend feeling that came over me. Im telling you, it was not me, it was for sure Jesus…
Ready? …yes blog world, I let mandy wilmoth get behing the clutch in my vehicle. 3 words …. Lord Have Mercy … don’t worry, im not gonna list the negatives, she did really good.. she just must have missed the part on the driving test about turning into another cars lane and then not knowing what to do, so instead she pulls half way out inot an on coming intersection when her light is red!!! I was half way home to heaven, when Jesus whisperd to me, “I am not ready for her to be left alone… and I NEED you as my most humble servant, she is a special one.. and she will never be able to drive in heaven as your reward”.. so, I mean, its Jesus, I had to go back…

So here we are, sitting at “It’s a grind”, sharing their internet. They are closed, and I think they forgot we were coming, so we are sitting outside on the curb. ☺

In reflection, I must say that the Lord spoke to me in a mighty way today. Probably, the first all week. As we have met some amazing people, we have soaked up all their personalities, and wondered how we appear to them. Its so hard not to judge people and the facades that are notoriously known. We have been blessed enough to meet some genuine people.. and have ourselves prayed to be shielded from “fitting in” and impressing people. The Lord is good, and has showed us what it truly means to be set apart.

This is going to be an amazing semester, with a plethora of opportunity, not only for others, but for us as well. We have sooo much to learn, and the Lord has brought some incredible people here to teach us. We are most excited to learn what He has to teach us about ourselves. Please join us in these prayers, (and for stuie too!) – our wisconson angel ☺

… sorry if this is all mish moshy, but I just worked out, and iam using it was my excuse.


..oh yeah, I got my food handlers permit today!!!! Se se puedu mama!!!!

Much love!

His daughter -anna

Capture me with Grace

Wow so this blog is was kinda a joke... we have been bored durring oreientation week and need something to fill in the time...so i thought hey lets post a blog of what we have been doing.. if you know anything about adrianna or i...we umm.. well..uhh.. how do i put this? Well we are crazy! fine i said it and will admitt to it.. but anyways we all ways have "adventures" i dunno why but the lord has blessed us this way! (thank you) it makes our lives interesting and fun... so anyways i wanted to be kinda serious in this one.. we had some major stuff happen today that i want to shar with you all... When we were standing in line the other month..oh wait we've only been here for 3 days!!..j/k we met this guy named Stewart. he was so funny and just a real person not putting on the "bible college" face... so we started hanging out and became friends..yes we do have friends! but we didn't see him last night or this morning and when we finally did meet up, he told us that he was having ceasures last night and his rooming took him to the hospital and they told him he has to go home! this was a huge shock to us.. he has been through a bunch in his life and we were all excited to see how the lord was going to touch him this semester. his plane leaves tomorrow afternoon so for his last dinner adrianna and i took him to his first in-n-out burger! it was amazing for us aswell as him. he order 2 burgers fries and a coke!! crazy while adrianna and i are trying to keep the freshmen 15 off had protien style!! ummm.. it was awesome!! I drove us home in adrianna's stick!! in rush hour we saw jesus in a new and glorious way! :) naw don't trust her side of the story (it wasn't that bad)... we went to the gym again today!! oh yeah i found out that my m199 (work kinda job thingy) is gonna be sweet!! i had a little training today and i only have to work on thursdays! praise him!! we also treated ourselves to lunch (not knowing we were gonna have in-n-out later) it was grub asusual... oh i must not forget our chonie run!! adrianna and i got some sweet chones from walmart---i got sponge bob amd she got these colorful breathable things...there preety sweet.. so u might have seen my title "capture me with grace".. well this is why.. stewart and i and adrianna and u and my mom and chuck smith and denzel washington and well u get the point we are all captured by his grace but it is our choice to accept it and live by and through his grace. we had an amazong time of worship tonight that really let me seek the lord through that song RESCUE if u dont know it ask jeremy to play it for you. i just kinda was refreshed in that we all are huge sinners and that just because i have done THAT thing or gone THAT far...it doesn't matter we still sinned and fell short. but the greatest thing that he spoke tonight was that he is right there to pick us up and carry on...forget about those things and live a new life and that every day, moment, hour and second of our lives we just fix our eyes on him. i am so blessed to be an environment that supports this life style. we as christians and fellow believers need to uplift those who aren't in our positions. we need to encourage them and be their for them as they may face the world..potentially..out side of our "christian ghettos" ") well wow that was a sweet sermon see you all next sunday..just kidding again if you know me at all.. i hate writing and can't believe i am doing this for funn...ewww but hey its the college life to sit on some random persons law and enjoy the public internet.. again PLEASE pray for our friends as they come from all different backgrounds pray for stewart as he returns to wisconsin tomorrow that the lord would stay near and he would beable to feel his presences and know that he is not alone pray for this week end as we meet with the youth leaders of wildwood for a little get away that it would be refreshing and an exciting time!... well i hope you all have forwarded our sight to 5 people cause if you do you will recieve 100 dollars in 10 days but if you only keep this to your self...you will be punished. (just don't come to me looking for the 100 dollars!)... thanks for stopping by don't forget to leave a post... its not worth viewing if ur not gonna talk back! see you next weekend!! mandy

hi! blog world... okay so ill probably be the more informative one of the duo :)
right now.. we have a orientation in like 40 minutes and we are currently on some neighborhood "borrowing" their internet service, cuz its 20 bucks at the college (phew,inflation) .. but we got our scheduals today, and we waited in line from 7:30 am to about 4:30pm literally the whole time!!!! so , i think its safe to say that the lesson today is patience and long suffereing. :)

we are making a lot of friends and our roomies are all unique. we will tell more later but i gotta get mandy off the phone and back to our cribs.

peace out yos!
