Welcome Week

Sorry this is so late... kinda been busy... studying of course. : ) Our first five days we were in Belton, Texas at THE University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, us incoming freshmen participated in what we call Welcome Week. Basically it's a crash course in the school before everyone else moves in. We played games, had rec, did worship, hung out, ate, all that good stuff as a 'family group' where our big brothers and sisters took good care of us and showed us the ropes of UMHB. Each group had a name based on a tradition of the school. Ours was the Easter Pagent (Which is in it's like 120th year... and it's NEVER rained on it either...), so our team name was the Krunk Disciples. : )


This was our group... minus a few soccer and baseball players... We're all still pretty close and hang out together all the time... it was an awesome week. : ) The guy on the far right's name is Pancho and he's probably one of my best friends down here.



This is me and Pancho at the Dubbing Ceremony where we officially became Crusaders Forever. It's a pretty nice event so we kinda dressed up for it. This is also where they break out the eternal flame... but it was so windy, it almost caught the back three rows on fire... so we used a quick flame. : )


Dr. Theodore... dubbing us!! : ) After Welcome Week was over, we had a huge rally where we worshiped and gave out awards for the most spirited and best dressed, etc... Guess who's group won what.... : )


: ) That would be us... All in all Welcome Week was like a miniature youth camp where we met people that i'll be friends with for the rest of my life!! : ) I'm loving every minute of this place and wish yall could experience some of the things that i'm getting to learn and go through. : )
