My Salvation Experience
Before I knew Christ, I was attended church when i visited my grandparents or on holidays. When I moved to Missouri in 1991 from all my childhood friends, I was invited by a friend to attend Young Life. It was a place where all the kids socialized after school on Wednesdays. That year, I was the group was going to a Young Life camp in Colorado for a week in the summer. It was on this trip, where I met the person of Christ.

Honest Scrap Award

So as recipient of this honesty award, I now need to tell you 10 truths about me: I don’t like chocolate. Yes, I said it.
