For the forth of July:
some friends from school and I went to CHI=Chicago cuz Hannah and Tamsen live right out side of it. We staid at Hannah's on Thurs and Sat night. For Fri night we staid at Tamsen's friends house which was a very nice house. It was on a lake, well not exactly on the lake but was built right next to it! LOL
She(Tamsen's friend=Rachel{i think}) also had a indoor pool! :D How spiffy is that!!!
Any was when we actually went to CHI City it was beautiful!! It has to be the most beautiful city I have ever seen! (and clean to)
You can look at the pics on Picasa (which if I get it to work right you will be able to click on the pik that is on the blog and it will take you to the whole album, on Picasa) or you could find me on face book and do it that way!!!
FIRST OFF: Before I tell you anything about CHI City we got there by train and it was the FIRST TIME I have ever been on a train!! IT WAS SO COOOLLLL!
The greatest part about CHI City besides chillin in it like we lived there and the great pics and not so great LOL!
I got to talk to a homeless person sitting on concrete post on the side walk, Sarah was the one who first was like "hey lets go back and talk to this guy"
So we(Sarah Halburge, Abby Johnson, and me) talk to him for a min. Then Sarah went to get him a drink along with Abby who got him a burrito. Mean while while they were getting him food.
I got to talk to him on a personal level, his name was Mahmoud. He has lived in CHI City his whole life. The exciting part he knows that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Saver and know that He was a plan for his life. Even that means he will be homeless all his life or not he knows that God is in control, and that he knows he is going to Heaven!! It was a delight to talk to him and see how life is going for him. It was pretty incredible!! (sorry I didn't get a chance to take pik){didn't want to make him fill like an attraction}
After a while of walking around CHI City we ate real CHI deep dish pizza and it was goooooodddd!!!
Then at night we went to see the Fireworks by the bay! It was really pretty and got great piks.
Then while we were walking back I got in a conversation with a dude named Bruce! We just casually talked about were good food was and what his favorite spots were, and then BAM (here it comes)! He told me he believed in God! I ask him "what do you mean by that?" He said "I am a Christian"! Then we shook hands like we were brothers, cuz I told him "I believe that Christ died for me also"! Then opened a whole new conversation in play. He opened up and told me he just got out of prison about 2 to 3 day ago! And how the Lord has blessed him sense he got out! [I for got to say he got saved while in prison]
He found a place to stay for really cheap and that he all ready has a job lined up in the next week or so.
Then we had to go separate was and we prayed for each other.
{I do not want these experiences that I am telling you to come across like "Ah, look at Drew he is such a good kid!" or "Man what a show off"}
I am telling you these things to tell what God is doing in my life and how He is forming in with each situation that He puts me in!
Then we went back to Rachel's house to sleep!!
Saturday we(Hannah, Sarah, Zack and I) went back to Hannah's house to chill, and do nothing!! We went to go see the Fireworks in her town which were so much better than CHI City (surprising I know!!) LOL :D
Then after that was watch the stupidest movie ever but still funny(funny cuz we were up so late)!!! {the movie= 'The confessions of a Shopaholic }
I suggest ever person who loves shops see that movie!! But if you don't its no biggy! (that way you do not waste you life!LOL)
Then the next day we went to Hannah's church!!! Which was very big about 1000-2000 people!
After that we went to this place called 'Beef-a-Roos'. It's bascially like a 'Stake-n-Sake' or 'Johny Roket's'.
The funny part about this little adventure was the Loaded Bake Potato!! It was good but they added some extra sauce in the corner of the contaner it came in!! It was about an inch and half long and about a half inch tall of PURE GREACE!!!!! So that was really funny I pured it out and it slowly make its way to the try and when it gently tapped the tray it instantly started to absorb into the paper on the tray. and it soaked up to napkins instantly!!! It was very funny and gross at the same time!!!!! LOL {the laughs you get out of the weriod things in life!}
After that the other people that stayed at Rachel's house meet up with us at Hannah's and headed back home to BCOM (Bethany College of Missions)!
Man it was a fun ride home!!!
You know when your in the car to long and you start to act really werid that HAPPENED, and to put a funn little twist on the trip we got a little lost on the way back LOL.. hahahahaha!! LOL
We I hope this wasnt to boarning for you or too long!
Hope you have a fantastic week! and toon in next time Drew's life!!! LOL
Grace and Peace

Hi Drew. WOW! You are quite the traveler and have quite an awesome agenda. I know what you mean about Chicago. I visited when I was about your age...hmmm...that would be about 30 years ago, and I, too, fell in love with that city. Thinking of you. Lots of love from your Aunt Ann
