So today I made an announcement in BIG church for charity water! I was so scared to talk in front of everybody! As my time was coming closer, my friends had to hold my hands to calm me down because I was shaking so bad! I almost had a meltdown. Mr. Tom gave me the famous nod to come up to the front because I was almost up. So I went up to the podium and... it was a success! We raised over $1,000 today just from t-shirt and water bottle sales and donations!! I'm so thankful for all the great people in my church! Now we are 73% of the way done! And we still have 59 days left! I'm so excited to be a part of this project and I can't wait for this well to be built!

Here We Go!
So I'm kinda new at this blogging stuff but i thought it would be really fun and interesting to write things down that I'm thinking about or whatever!
Something I have been passionate about lately is an organization called charity:water. It is an awesome thing! They raise money and build fresh water wells for people in third-world countries who walk miles to get to a little muddy water hole. Water is something we can't survive without and people are dying everyday because they do not have clean water! That's just crazy! Here I am taking my time in a hot shower, drinking clean water whenever I want, and wasting it! People are very unaware of what is going on in different parts of the world and I think it is our job as Christians to do something about it!
My awesome cousin Travis was the one who told me about charity:water and he and his friends raised over $5,000 to build a well! So, I thought my youth group could do the same! So far we have raised over $2,000 which is awesome! We still need $3,000 and with God's help I know we can do it! But we also need everyone else's help too. :)
