So Mysore was INTERESTING!!!!! On the way there I saw a very rare animal...it was a flying elephant!!!!
Just Joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually did not get to go to Mysore. I spent the weekend being sick. Everyone else got sick earlier in the week, but I got the bug late! My bug was not as bad as everyone else, but I just felt super nauseous and had a low fever off and on. So I spent my Saturday watching sport...Cricket and girls Field Hockey. Our school invited another school from about 10 hrs away to come play matches against our teams. We won both the matches. I would tell you the cricket score but most of you do not watch/care about cricket so I will not bore you. In hockey we had 2 of our team and 2 of their teams playing against each other and we took 1st and 4th.
Then on Sunday I was feeling much better!!!! So I went to church and we had 2 baptisms. They were my first to see in India and they were great. The 2 people that were getting baptized were the sermons of the day. They got up and gave their testimonies in front of the whole church. Then once the service was done we went out back to a small cement bath in the back filled with some really brown nasty water. They did the traditional asking of questions to the person then dunked them. As they came up we sang

"Lord, I give You my heart
I give You my soulI live for You aloneEvery Breath I takeEvery moment I'm awakeLord, have Your way in me"
After both people had been dunked we had our Lord's Supper together outside around the bath. I loved the atmosphere, and the excitement that was there from people getting baptized.
Since I was feeling better I decide to have a BBQ. So me and my roomie got some ground beef, and veggies so we could grill. We made some great burgers, and got to hang with some of the Std 13 boys since they wanted to cook on our fire as well.
The week went on pretty smooth for most of the week until yesterday...I was having a Choreography Club practice. My part of the club is doing Cheerleading...I know it may come as a shock but most of these kids have never seen cheerleaders except in movies....It surprised me sooooo much, but on with the story. So I was doing a stunt practice with a group of girls after school, so lots of people were out and about on campus. I had picked an out of the way spot so that no one would try anything we were doing with out talking to me first. So we were doing single man stunts with me hold the girl by myself. Well....Things went a little wonkie sooo I was trying to bring her down, but her foot got stuck in my top. I was wearing a white V-neck shirt, aka a guys undershirt from Wal-Mart. Well when her foot got stuck in ripped my shirt. I thought it was just a shoulder rip...well to my surprise it ripped from the V to my belly button. So there I am standing with my shirt ripped open, and not realizing that I am flashing anyone looking. Thankfully the spot I picked was out of the way, but one guy was standing close by. I talked to him later and he said that he did not really see anything, and he walked away quickly. So that has been my week so far.
This weekend is the SC event. The theme is Brazil. I still do not know what I am wearing, but I do know that I am performing 3 times... Twice singing and the last doing a dance with some staff members. Then next week is Parents Weeks, so almost the whole school's parent body will be here for a bunch of events. Then on Thursday everyone leaves and I get the campus almost to myself. I am not travelling with everyone else, because I was to save for Seminary in the Fall.
I hope you all have a great week. Please keep asking the Father for health here at school, and for a good end to term.
