Auction + Church

The last weekend before Spring forward was a good one.

I really would love to say that it was the last weekend of Winter --  But I don't really know if it is or not. Anyway, I was able to attend my very first Auction. Yay! I had no clue what was happening around me and I had to keep asking my husband, and my in-laws.

My first Auction was -- confusing.
I could not really understand what the person was saying haha, it was too fast.
I also was not sure how he saw everyone who would raise their hand to bid since there were so many people!

When you go in, you pay for your food, and the ticket you get will be going to the raffles. At the door, you're already allowed to buy tickets for bidding on some stuff, but main event, if I understood correctly was for 2 guns. Auctioning guns is actually illegal, so, they auctioned "hot wheels" (similar to tomica) instead, and then you get a chance to win the guns! Pretty sneaky, haha.

They have bean and ham, and hotdogs, and cookies! Yum! I'm so glad there were sweets! 

I didn't win any. T-T

Watch this video!

That's some great skill!

It would also be good to note, that the auction biddings will all go to the Fire Department. It was basically a donation funding event. Many people were willing to donate. There was a cake that was auctioned up to $70! Haha. Just think of it as donating for a good cause, not really for buying a cake.

Then that Sunday, I was formally accepted as a member of the church, and I sang "Lord, I Offer My Life".

Yes, I had a good weekend. :)
