Youth Group

Tonight was a lot of fun.  We went out to Broadway Junction and were passing out tracts, praying for people, and singing in the station.  A lot of us were so excited to be there and some of us didn't really want to go and after a while we could feel the pressure lift.  It was awesome.  The expressions on peoples faces were so fun to watch.  The one time I guess there was a lady who didn't like what was happening and I guess she gave us the finger.  I didn't actually see it but others did.  So while we were singing, even without thinking about it,  we sang louder when that happened.  It actually happened more than once.  Everyone was nervous when we were going.  But after a while we calmed down and sang our hearts out praising God.  It was so much fun.  I haven't sang that many songs in a row at one time for a very long time.  For those back home, it was so much fun, it was getting very close to being as much fun as singing on tour.  I don't no how many of you know how much I love to sing, but I think some people up here found that out tonight.  There were some amazing stories that happened tonight, but I do not feel like writing them out.  All in all it was a great night and we had so much fun.

BAD DAY

Today was one of those days that was not so good.  The day just started out bad and then it wasn't too bad for a while.  Just to say the least when you want to leave at four and you wake up at six its not that much fun.  most of the stores then today weren't that bad.  Towards the end of the day I was doing a store that I should have gotten to in about fifteen minutes.  It actually took a little over an hour to get there.  Stupid construction.  They had exits closed and a lot of traffic on top of that yet, just doesn't turn out that good.  Even worse when the GPS you are using doesn't have some of the roads on.  Just to say the least that i did a little exploring today.  I did eventually get there and then it took over an hour to get home. So my day didn't go like i expected it to.

Great week

Its been a great week so far.  On Sunday a bunch of the youth guys were here and we had a blast.  We started out by watching the hockey game and that ended pretty quickly.  Some of us decided that was boring so we went up into the attic and were working out.  Fun times, fun times.  It was a lot of fun hanging out. Monday and Tuesday fun runs for me and then today we had a lot fun working at the warehouse.  Also started to work out again.  One of the guys has a core work out that we are doing, a lot of fun, but hard work.  Also looking forward to Sunday evening, we are doing a ministry evening with the youth.  We are going out to Broadway Junction and singing and praying for people in the train station.  Sounds like its gonna be a lot of fun.  And we also got some new toys today as well. 

Saturday 4-21-12

Today was awesome. Wat more can you as for a beautiful day for sleepin in and then some ballin aka basketball.  Lots of fun with the guys playin three hours of basketball.  Had some of the guys over last night after boys club and hung out till about 2:30 or so.  Lots of fun times telling the city guys about the amish and the country.  They get kinda scared thinking about camping out in the middle of the country with all the animals and stuff. It's kinda funny the way they talk about stuff like that and we think stuff like that is normal.  They could hardly believe that we would go and camp out, in the middle of what they would call nowhere, with no guns or knives for protection.  You kinda have to know city kids to know how they would act.  Anyway, we had a lot of fun hanging out and then today again with ballin.  Every Saturday the youth guys get together at the park and play a sport.  We were playin football, and today was the first day for basketball.  A lot of fun but after three hours and not being used to running and jumping that much the calf muscles get sore. Not that cool, mix sore muscles and blisters, bad combination.  Either way it was a fun day.  I am also very jealous that I could not be around for the ballgame last night, makes me wanna play ball so bad.  But, its one of those things that I need to give up for a year or two.  To the Ball team, have fun this year, it makes the whole year go better if you go into and come out of the game with a good attitude no matter what happens.

Yesterday was a good day for me.  I didn't have to leave the house until about six o'clock and got home around three thirty.  Today was a little different I left the house around six and didn't get home till about six forty-five.  Last night was one of the guys last night here so we had a party here with youth guys to see him off.  Had a good supper of rice and chicken and then just hung out for a while.  None of us got to bed before eleven o'clock.  So it was a late night for everyone but was a good time hanging out and sad to see him leave but thats the way that life is.  We get to make new friends and then we get to see them move on in life.  Anyway, I just want to say a big thanks to everyone who is praying and ask that you continue to pray. The days are getting a little easier, but are still hard.  Once I start to think about home the days and evenings are hard but with the grace of God I can get through the hard times. 

Thanks

Again I just want to say a very big thankyou to those of you who were praying the last two days.  I just wanna ask you to keep on praying as the days go on and the adjustments are made.  The days seem to be getting a little bit easier but it is still a challenge being away from home.  For me it is a lot harder to stay up here away from all the action but I have to rely on God to help me through.
