about pine springs


well the first day i got on the bus to pine springs of
course and matt mckenzie was kind enough to entertain me on
the way down...i made him and me a necklace and did chris's
black and blue one. hmmmm ummm well the bus ride was a long
ways there it was like 6 hours but we arrived early cuz the
bus driver dude was going 80, haa haa. well me, rachael,
and starla got in line and like i was the 3rd one in line
then they all the sudden decide to do it in alphabetical
order....venegas is not a fun last name...
well anyways i was last in the girls line but ohhh well..
hehe im always last and i learn to suck it up and take it
like a man....ok woman but still i could suck anything up
just as well as a guy.....most guys r pretty wussy anyways.
lol most of all the football players...geez the biggest
bunch of babys ive ever seen.

well lets see they told us from then out they would be
celebrating a new holiday each day. that night we did a
cabin devo and went to bed

day 2: this day would be monday.They declared this
valentines day. so we had to write people a valentine note
and stuff and the hole point was love obviously. We played
a bunch of games with a ball missing....and then they had
an olympic thing where u learn to swim but theres a
catch... theres no water....hahaha ok well ben was
drowning... so we had to go save him. that day we talked
about how its so awesome that Jesus loves us to the point
where he died for us. Matt Mckenzie once told it to me like
this " Think of it as u were in a street and a car was
comming and was going 2 hit u, and someone jumps in front
of it and pushes u out of the way, he goes into a coma then
dies....he loves u that much." and thats a good analogy. I
dont remember too much else we did on v-day exceot the
cheesy games...lol ummm guess thats it.

day 3: that day was easter.....wow what a cool day. ok well
i had a dream it would rain and it hasnt rained in jan. at
pine sproings so it needed itand so we woke up then had an
easter egg hunt. they threw candy and we had relay races,
haha. ummm everyday we do chapel and wake up call and stuff
and today was our day to do flag pole so we did the bunny
hop then this like broom with a broom song. OHHH AND THEY
SANG SWISS BOY !!!!! sweet..... i love that song, its the
best. on this day we acted out the final hours of Jesus
with Dustin (the camp director being Jesus) well they built
a cross for him to hang on and everything and a tarp house
sorta thing for the tomb. well we all had to dress up do we
did the whole sheet bit with the girls having it over their
heads and dragging and the guys as a toga. Matt Mckenzie
and Dusty Jones were 2 of the wonderful 12. ummm later on
we had a real weird dinner where we sat on the ground and
ate on the ground with grape juice and bread. It was cool
the way u cpuld see how they all cracked jokes and stuff
with Jesus like Thomas said something like yes i could be
the son of man and someone else was like no i dont think u
could walk on water, then matt was like yeah i dont think
ud get to far....lol they were picking on thomas alout.
well when they were trying 2 take jesus and junk they were
actually kicking him and hitting him...but this is mr " i
played football in high school so i can take it" kinda guy.
well they did that and the most awesome thing that night
was when he came back to life. It was about 9 or 10 and
they got a really bright light and got dustin to walk
towards us at a distance with a clear plastic raincoat on
(so it looked like he was glowing) and it was so
awesome.....i guess that was all.

day4: the day of Freedom or 4th of July. on this day we got
up did chapel and blah blah then they told us to brig our
bibles to the chapel cuz we were playing a game and so
everyone had to participate so we did that and it was game
time so we had to leave our bibles there and when we did
that they pulled us into a room and told us the 1st
amendment had been repealed and we couldnt pray for the
rest of the camp, and not to mention his name...just about
that time this guy shouts extremly loud that Jesus is the
lord and he was escorted out of the room. We were
dissmissed and i was walking with David Mckenzie (mstt's
bro) and Trent (a total and complete hottie) says to go to
the chapel so i do and see matt m. and jp
there....supposedly they were in jail becuz matt had a
christian shirt on and wouldnt take it off...lol so then i
was trapped so i stayed there and i was there for 6 hours.
Finally they told us to either stay here and worship or go
eat. I wanted worship so i was willing to stay and so was
everyone else...about that time mason asks if we can be
released for a short amount of time to go get our sleeping
bags and he does....lol well finally they kick us out and
make us go to dinner...all of us are madd at this time
becuz they lied to us. and i mean theres really no way to
tell if they were telling the truth becuzu have to remember
there isno tv radio, newspapper, nodda. so we had to trust.
so after dinner there was a quote "plan" and we had to
sneak to the reck center to do a silent protest. well they
got madd made us go to bed early and so then they had
another quote"plan" where we run in twos to the camp fire
grounds which im guess is alomost a half a mile up a dusty
road to the camp fire grounds. We did and we had camp fire
and blah blah. lol

day4:thats thanksgiving today it rained :D the power of
prayer.by the way im sure all of u r going to love this...
this chick prayed that brittney spears wouldnt come to
lubbock on the night of the concert and sure enough it was
canceled...haha the luck and again the power of prayer.
blah maybe its not alwys good...lol oh well i got to watch
the stars with Brandon that night and in other nights i
watched the stars with diffrent guys...its fun though but u
know its interesting to see what a guy would say about a
star...lol well i gues sthat it

day 5: Christmas !!!! ok we had to draw names and get a x-
mas present for them so i drew this guy andrew and he was a
7th grader so i made him a necklace. and this guy travis
gave me a rock that has a verse from the bible which is so
awesome becuz i wanted something i could take home like
that. some people just got bug spray...haha. ok well the
verse says " God is the rock, his words are perfect, and
all his ways are just. DEUTERONMOMY 32:4
pretty over all awesome day. we had talent show that night
and i wasnt happy by the end....ok something upset me in it
and it was that night and blah blah its not that important
but it just offended me....well i didnt tell anyone but
jerms so i guess now ill share...well like at the talent
show they said let us pray and they did the whole hand
movement thing of catholics that goes, father, son, holy
spirit and everyone cant contain themselves and thinks its
so hilarious. well whatever i wasnt going 2 say anything...

one thing i did ponder about was chris...i missed him alout
and at pine springs becuz he was supposed to come but it
got complicated and everything so that idea crashed. its
all good. BUT when i was lisening to these people preach it
really touched me the way they were like "o u have these
non believer friends and such but u give up when they tell
u to shut up ?? what are u going 2 do just let them burn in
hell ???? " well since chris is like one of my best friends
u could say he shouldnt got there and i dont think he
will....thats what im hoping atleast.....well im tired talk
2 u guys later, im sure i left out some stuff,s sorry its
so long...

p.s.-the stars were so beautiful

Love Always with Coconuts,

Julia Venegas

that night: NEW YEARS !!! lol well that night it was new
years and i chased david trying to tickle him and then
Brandon got the same idea and was tickling me....lol wow i
was tried after it all. I had been praying with matt and
dusty everynight but thansgiving cuz it was raining....well
we prayed that night for the last time... and i was almost
in tears...so yeah i was sad. well lets see that night we
raided the kitchen and we got messy with the whipped cream
haha (not like that) but we were squirting it in echothers
mouth and miss of purpose...lol fun times, then weplayed a
fruit basket game which was fun and I WAS A COCONUT !!!!
ohh heck yah ! lol and we would smack each other with a
pillow...lol it was the best. then i realized how i
addopted morgandys (one of my counslers laughs) lol it
