New Orleans and the kids are amazing!

I am often confused about what I am good at in life. I enjoy so many things but if you ask me what I am good at, I could not tell you. I am passionate about kids and service. I love hangin out with kids while doing service. I am here in New Orleans with kids while serving. I love it. It does not mean I am good at it. What are you good at? I am shocked that I really can't answer that question well. I am a very confidant person in what I do. This also doe not mean I am good at it.

The kid have been amazing her in New Orleans! I can't wait to bring another group of kids. We have painted, organized stuff, and moved a lot of things. I got the chance to do what i enjoy and that is meeting new people and making them laugh and have a great time being together. Is that what I do best? I don't know. I did have a great day. I would say the best day of the trip. Yesterday we tied Christmas trees to be dropped in the levees. I have bumps all over my arms. Not complaining but the kids were awesome yesterday as well.

We head home on Monday with stories and hopefully changed lives. Our goal is to make God even more famous. It is not about us, but all about God. I love these kids so much. I don't think they really know how much I care for them. Well, I'm going to bed. Another Great day tomorrow. Peace,

Purity Study and New Orleans here I come!

Well, I have been busy teaching 7th grade boys about purity. I and another female teacher are teaching every class period between last friday and February 20th. It is going well. I am having a lot of fun although teaching all day. I am exhausted by the end of the day. I am not getting much sympathy from my fellow teachers. Oh Well, I enjoy 7th graders. They get my jokes and listen very well to the material I am presenting. I told them I am the non-sexpert. I can tell how to not have sex. I'm good. I should take this on the road. Pray that these boys continue to listen. I am getting good feedback from parents as well.

New Orleans here I come with 35 other people. This is my service trip with Junior High kids. Our winter break which I need will be spent in New Orleans serving along side junior high kids. I love our group and I look forward to what will happen while there. Please pray for our efforts.
