Snowflakes and Subway

Well right now I'm sitting in my room watching the snow fall after a good day at work. My dread of going back to work has so far ended up in being a really good experience! I've found that I have a lot more joy there and that I am able to handle the customers well, as well as remembering basicly everything. Being home has been really good. I've been able to see my friends, as well as lay around with my cat, and make money. The snow is making everything better because I LOVE snow!!!
This week was interesting but really good! Umm it started with a trip to the bungee zone and our kaleo christmas banquet, then to our interns sharing an AMAZING secret with everyone, to my birthday, to kaleo christmas and home. I can't tell you everything that happened because SO much good stuff happened. Below's a pict from kaleo christmas, the bungee zone, my birthday, and umm.... I think that's it. Ooh, the banquet! On my birthday at midnight, ny roommates set up an AMAZING (wow Im using capitals a lot haha) party for me. Cake, presents, a card, and everyone! I was really happy and felt SO amazingly loved. I was almost in tears because I have NEVER felt so loved on my birthday before. It was that moment, when I knew that everyone at kaleo loved me. That may sound crazy, but it's true!





When I came home, I got some unfortunate news about one of my youth girls. It ended up in her getting help and she should be ok. I dont want to mention any details, but it would be really good if you could keep her in your prayers for safety. Umm...but it was really good because another girl that I've been talking to a lot and I meen a lot, was able to see the power of prayer actually happen in front of her because of this incident. It was so thrilling to see God work through her in this situation!!! It really made me happy.

This week consists of me working at subway and hopfully seeing more friends. We shal see what happens this week, especially with this snow! I'm really excited to be home, and though I miss my kaleo family, I'm not to sad. Hope everyone has an amazing week, I'd love to hear from some of you too! God bless.

Christmas is upon us!!!

Well I'm pretty sure I have never been excited for christmas before my birthday untill this year. Jordan has forced christmas music on us in the office and in the vans, I have wrapped all my gifts for here and I'm waiting to put them under the tree, and Yes kaleo has a live christmas tree!!!! We got to go to a tree farm and pick out our perfect christmas tree! It's a really nice one. Here's a picture of it all decorated.




This week was a busey week. I worked on my papers quite a bit, umm.....Ooh we had another guys and girls night. It was pretty sweet. We went for a hike, and went to the pool, and had coffee, and then went to Jim's house and chilled and ate food and ahhhh it was so relaxing. Ya it was pretty sweet. Here is the pict of us from our hike.
So to talk about my ministry, this week was our last youth for the year of 2008. This comming friday we will all be taking off in different directions and going home for christmas. It was good to be able to chill with the kids, we didnt do much, but it was still fun. Slowly I find my heart melting for those kids because I love them so much. I love just being able to talk to them and see where they are at in life. I hope to see a few on sunday and say goodbye till the new year. I'm going to miss them. Ooh we also had our kaleo 6 tallent show sat night. If you check our K6 blog you can see some photos of that. http://kaleosix.blogspot.com/ This next week should be AMAZING!!! on monday we get to go to bungey zone and watch everyone do something crazy, (im doing a zip line some are doing other things) and we have our christmas banquet with the staff, Tues we are doing HOMEWORK!!!, on wed I get to have the honors of being legal all over the world (aka I turn 21) thurs is our kaleo christmas morning!!!!!(so excited for that), and then friday we all say goodbye and head home! It's pretty sweet. I'm going to be very sad to say goodbye to people here for 3 weeks, but I'll be so occupied with work when I'm home that I'll be able to keep myself busey. Anyways, hope everyone else has a good week. Pray that I get my papers done, cause I'm really struggling with them. Other than that, happy holidays!!!
