Well I been coming to Faith Assembly of God for 2 1/2 years now. I'm not really sure when I got saved. But I do remember how I got caught up in this church. It was the summer of 2001. I had a boyfriend that summer and I didn't want to go to my gramparents that year (I thought I was in love) so I stayed in the area. In the first week of Aug. my mom went on vacation for a week and I had to go to her friends house for the week. They where leaving on a Saturday. But her friend Alcesta and her family was going to Faith Assembly for a while now and that saturday was a saturday the chruch had something going on (Feed the Need). So Alcesta and her family was helping out so I had to go there and hang out until they where done. Well trust me it wasn't the way I wanted to spend my saturday let alone that saturday. On Friday I got in this big fight with my boyfriend mom and I couldn't talk to him and I was really upset about that. Also I didn't like the idea I had to stay a whole week at Alcesta house (I wasn't saved). Anyway...I ended up helping out in the children area and got to meet some of the teens. It was kind of funny b/c the first person who talk to me was Alicia King and I thought she was older then me as well as the other teens around me. But come to find out most of the teens was a few year younger then me. (I was only 16) Anyway little did I know that was the first and not the last thing I was going to do with Faith Assembly of God. So that sunday I went to church didn't really cared for it. I thought it was boring but I also didn't know Jesus and I was so caught up in myself to care about that stuff. Anyway....later on that week they had wednesday night service. So I got to go to youth group. But I also got my boyfriend to go with me. I don't remember what we sang that night or what the service was on but whatever it was it got my hooked. I really enjoyed myself. But I do remember one thing that night Pastor Jason made an annoyment about something they where doing that saturday. They where going to be saling these cards and for every card you sale you get a dollar back. Well I really wanted to do it. So that Saturday Justin and I went to the chruch and got involved with it. I didn't think much about it. So then in eight days I have done two things outside of the chruch and been to two services. (Well it wasnt my first time I been there I have gone once or twice on sunday morning with Alcesta b/c I stayed over there house on a weekend) So that is how I got hooked to this chruch. So my boyfriend and I went every wednesday and on sunday as well. The very first trip I went on was Seeker Retreat. So from Aug. to May I was starting to change my life and the things in it. But I believe I really didn't change until after my boyfriend of one year and 3 month broke up with me. I was so upset and so mad that I had to leave for two month during that summer of 2002. But with the brake up God revealed to me that I had a very bad anger problem and other things. That brake up was the best thing that happen to me b/c it change my life. God has bless me so much. But that wasn't the last God has done for me.
