Short and to the point...I hope

Hey y'all

It is late and I am tired. Today was our first day of programming..this basically means that we had our own youth participants here in Texas (they arrived sunday) and we worked at Kids Club. Everything went amazingly well!! Yea God :) and I am excited for the next couple days. The way we have things set up right now I am in charge of the first three meals that we have (sunday dinner, monday breakfast and lunch, and monday dinner...breakfast and lunch is like one). This has made it hard to get to know the youth, but I am excited for the rest of the week where I have less of a role for dinner. Our Kids Club went significantly better than expected, and the kids that we work with were angels today. one of the five year old boys was about to get a drink and a four year old girl came and he stepped aside and let her go first. It is abnormal that the kids would be so great, but I praise God for even one day with such great behavior. Tonight our evening activity was at a place called Triple Play which has roller skating, batting cages, and arcade type games. It went very well! I love the groups that we have here this week. **I know that this is skattered, please bear with me** I have really bad allergies or something and I cannot breath out of both sides of my nose like I normally can, and I have a cough. All is well though, becuase God is great!! We had 23 or so kids at Kids Club, and they are great!!! I cannot wait to get to know them better and carry them around on my back and hug them and everything. Kyle our site director is here, and I am very excited to be getting to know him better. He reminds me of my friend Ben Barnes which is always great! Kyle is great too!! I got to take the chocolate off of his snickers, that is fun :) he does not like chocolate. My accent is getting stronger which is great!!! It is really hard for me to have time for this, but I am going to do my best. I enjoy texts and calls, that is not to say that I will be able to get back quickly if at all. God is shaping me to be a confident leader, and is helping me by placing people in my life (like Jono and James...james is the site director at Marvell) to remind me that eating is needed and I am beautiful. Also, we have a section of CLUB that focuses on the media's influence on us. All of this is always a great reminder.

We go to the nursing home tomorrow and also the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame for a tour and also we will be learning how to line dance. I know right!! so cool!!!!

I'M EXCITED!!! AND GOD IS SO GOOD :):):):):)

mucho amor
