OCTOBER 24

Well Kids!! I leave in about 32 hours to travel to Nicaragua!! Please if you remember, pray for me. I am feeling a little different about this trip than I have been on past trips so I do not know if that is a good thing or a bad thing but..... God is going with me and that is all that really matters right!! It is now 20 after 10 at night and I still have to go home and finish packing and clean out my car so I have a lot to do before I go so I must make this short, but will try and post photos and write again when I return!! Have a GREAT week while I am gone!!

Guess What everyone!! I FINALLY got to see my condo today and we have the keys!! I moved some of my littleler things in tonight and that makes it feel more like it is mine and I have a home again!! Plus only 14 more sleeps till Nicaragua and on the weekend of the 21-22 I have a Compassion booth set up at out church and hopefully I will get quite a few kids sponsored! Plus when we go to Nicaragua we get to sing for one of the projects and we are going to try and learn Here I am to Worship in spanish! I am soooooo excited. Thes next 2 weeks are going to go by so fast, I will not even know what hit me!!

Well kids today is officially THANKSGIVING DAY!! Wow, what to be thankful for hmmm... so many things!! A home, a job, a car, family, friends, and we would not have them if GOD had not been the provider, what is there NOT to be thankful for? I only had 2 thanksgiving dinners this year and I am grateful for that so as not to be soooo sick of turkey that I do not want to eat it till next year!! I hope that you all had a FABULOUS thanksgiving!! Till next time!!
