Where did February go?


It feels like last month literally blew by. Life was so busy that it was hard to stop and think about anything that was happening. I got accepted to Mission Year, an inner city ministry program, and will be moving in August somewhere unknown to me at this point. We obviously had our fun fiesta for Valentine's Day. We got a new roommate Abi, so now there are three of us. Eddie and Emilie, two our dearest friends, moved in next door to us. We went to Texas to a homeless outreach center to serve the homeless, but more likely we were the ones served. Here's a few pictures from that:












I am getting ready now for Spring Break during which I will be going to New Orleans with the College Age to rebuild houses. I am so excited for this trip. I am actually hoping to visit a Mission Year team while I am down there, but we'll see.
Things at God's Resort are going really well. The neighborhood has come alive with the warmer weather we have had off and on the last couple of weeks. We have had so much fun playing with the kids outside and getting to talk to people more. Winter is so hard because no one comes out of their homes. The kids have been coming over for homework help a lot more which is good because a lot of them have not been doing so well as we thought they were. Ashley and Dominique had a big social studies project and both of them did really well (A's)!!! There are a bunch of new tenants to get to know as well. It really just feels like having a huge extended family all around us. We have moved into the new auditorium at College Heights and it has completely changed our Sunday mornings, but so far we have really enjoyed all the changes. It just seems like lots of new things are going on and everyone is on one wild ride I guess.
