ok so now im like majorly fulllll =)

starting on friday at 2pm....i started something known as a 30 hour famine with my youth group. we went for 30 hours with out food. so from 2pm friday till 8pm on saturday. its really not that hard to do as long as u dont concentrate on food. ok ill tell you about my famine...

so it started when i was in ap statistics...i had to spit out my gum at 2 =( i like gum. after school i went shopping w the mother for clothes for my cali trip (ahhh so close!) and then i had to cheer at the bball game (we won...good job boys) and then i went to the church where everyone else was fasting. we watched the first lord of the rings movie to pass some time....then passed out =) then mr ian woke us all up around 915...which is really early when u dont go to bed until like after 2ish. and we did this awesome scavanger hunt thing....oh yeah i forgot to tell u....we were all divided up into 'tribes' to simulate tribes in different countries that dont have stable food supplies. i was in the Kaputei Tribe with Lucy Annika and Jess. we were also all given the identity of a child and some facts about them. i was Wanjiru, a 7 year old orphan who likes to sing. so me lucy annika and jess did an awesome job in the scavanger hunt...and if ian didnt mess up the last clue (silly ian) and if pple didnt sabatoge our last clue we would have gotten first place...cuz we kicked ass in the word puzzles! but oh well, second place was fineeee. thennnn we played some clue and that was alright, no one really won tho cuz we got fed up with it towards the end. then everyone else went to go see finding neverland...but i had to go home to clean my room cuz my mom loves me oh so much. and my brother decided to give me a kit kat bar cuz he is evil....and my dad decided to cook some food that smelt really good cuz he is even more evil...but i surviveddd! then i went back to the church and we played 20 questions for a while then started watching Hook. and all of a sudden it was 730 and time for a little church service before our FOOOOOOOOD. i thought the service was really good...and u could hear all of our stomachs groweling as it got closer and closer to 8pm. then it was 8 and we could all eat...but there was one catch. we couldnt serve ourselves anything and we couldnt ask anyone else to serve us. we had baked ziti, ribs, pasta w chicken, salad, baked potatoes, lotsa bread, oreos, really good fudge thingies, richards moms 'famous' dessert thingers, ICE CREAM, and im probably forgetting lotsa stuff. dinner was definately really funny. u had pple asking every few seconds...JENNY DO YOU NEED ANYTHING???? DO YOU WANT MORE FOOD? HOW ABOUT A DRINK? A NAPKIN? ANYTHINGGGGG???? and then u have lucy who says...here jenny u want some oreos.....and i ended up with a huge cup filled with oreos...along with the many other deserts piled onto my plate by jess and annika! good times. and then we were all so insanely full cuz we ate EVERYTHING in sight. and it was so good. and when all the food was gone, we all went home. and lucy and i still have a cup each of desserts that lucy decided i wanted at some time throughout the dinner...lol.

so then i came home and was so lazy cuz i was exhausted from not eating for 30 wholeeeee hours...but it really wasnt that bad. i didnt get hungry until the last hour really. i watched lotsa tv =) law and order was on...good times. then mr jonas called me cuz he is so cool. and now im here. and now its bed time. good night everyone.

one final thought....

during the 30 hours we were fasting...29,000 children died from malnurtition.

29,000

im still collecting money from sponsors...so if you would like to help save lives i would really appreciate donations. if you want to give me a donation i can tell you more about the company the money is going to....just post a comment and ill fill u in, or ask me in school.

$1 will feed a child for a whole day...think about it.
