Wow, so this year has just flown by! I can't believe that in 2 days it will be May already!
So, during Spring Break I went up to Atlanta and interpreted the PASSION 08 conference. That is always an amazing experience! And God definitely brought together some cool interpreters. And I think I met my long lost sister - Stacy - she is a red head, graduated high school early, a young sucessful interpreter... So many things alike, it's crazy! And of course it was great to see Beth again! The two of them were such an encouragement and a God send to hang out with right before I took my national performance test the very next day. I don't have the results - they said between 3 - 11 months... But I can call and check the status after 150 days (Sept 10th). So... You know that is circled in red on my calendar!
PASSION '08: Me, Beth, and Stacy
My Mom had a birthday last week and we got all dressed up and I treated her to a yummy dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. YUMMY!
What a Beautiful Mother and Daughter Pair!
This past Sunday we had a middle school baptism service which was amazing. We had 15 middle schoolers baptized! One of my girls that I worked with for 3 years now and been on mission trips with was baptized and I got to be in there with her! She is a huge blessing and encouragement to me!

Last bit of exciting news for now... I am graduating from HCC this Sunday! Then the only way I will ever set foot on that campus is if I am being paid to interpret something! Our church is having a graduation service, so here is the picture I took for that! I am graduating with a 3.99 GPA (stupid Geology class!). Not sure yet if that is considered "Honors" or "Highest Honors". But, still very exciting! I have decided to take a year off from college in order to save money to buy a house at the end of this year. I am applying for freelancing jobs in the community for my evenings and summer vacation.
No More HCC! Hallelujah!
Ta-ta for now!
Love,
Joy
