Day 141-The best youth leader in the world! (Sorry Mark...)

Hey guys,

     So, I know that I talk a LOT on my blog about Adrienne, but that's 'cuz, to me, she is more than a youth leader, she is my friend. Beyond that, she's probably my closest friend here...<3 Yeah, she's a good deal older than me, but that's okay :) We are so alike in so many ways that it can be freaky at times, we both LOVE to have fun...and make fun of each other...we can both be very loud and bubbly and energetic at times. When I got back from Chicago, the two of us were sitting in her office and I was telling her about my trip and the senior pastor walks in and goes, "Yeah, I figured Rose was back, it just got REALLY loud..." In the not even 6 months that I've known her, we've already had SO many memories, SO many laughs, and it's basically guaranteed that when I'm around her, I'll have a good time ;) Anyways, as I was sitting in my room starting on her Christmas present, I just realized how incredibly lucky and fortunate I am to have her as a youth leader, she is a truly amazing person, in ways that words can't even describe, so I'm not going to try. If you know her, you understand what I mean, if you don't...you probably should get to know her, because she's pretty fantastic! So as I sat in my room writing this letter to her for Christmas, I just felt so happy and so blessed to have her in my life, I spent a good 2 hours writing this letter to her, THAT is how much she means to me :) Adrienne is one of those people that just wants to know everyone, and sometimes, she succeeds. She truly and genuinely loves each and every student and leader in the youth group, and if we ask to meet with her, she will make it happen. Obviously, she's not going to have enough time to meet with each and every kid in the youth group, but I know a few select students who have asked to meet with her once a week, and she does! Not only this, but she also wants to meet and get to know the parents as well! She truly devotes all her energy and time into what she has been called to do, bringing young people to Christ, and I just really admire that!

<3 Always,
Rose
