Alright...well my blog is gonna be short today cause im am tired after this long and exciting day. I got up and helped ms Gloria prepare breakfast which was delicious(shrimp crab and bacon omelet). Then we went straight to work assemblong the float with all the pieces from the prior night. Then the parade outreach. It was soooo awesome. We gave out about 400you tracks and a bunch of bibles and candy and atuff and it was just a cool way to reach the time people of Nome through a really fun activiry.
After that was the bank robbery reenactment....that was pretty stinkin cool. I about died when the "fake bomb" blew up. It was behind the bank but it made my heart shake ot was so loyd and pounding. After that.....came.....you guessed it. The polar bear plunge. Not as bad as i thought. I think i set my expectations so high that when it wasnt that bad...it was kinda nice and not excruciating. .
After that Aubrey and I had to go to the folk art festival becauae Ms Dorcas had a booth but as stated...she ia in Gambell with the Arkansas ladies so we worked her booth for her. She was selling handcrafted beadwork. We made her about 600some which is awesome seeing that all the monetly goes eight back into missions.
Okay so Jesus presents himself EVERYWHERE when you allow him to speak through you and be in cpntrol. I know i say it ALOT but its so true. So this girl from summercise walks in with her aunt and grandma and I say hi and just make small talk...no biggy. But then her grandma says thank you that meant more to her than u will ever know.
I saod your welcome....but felt convicted to go talk yo her aunt and her grandma (nana).
I knew about this girl previously from summercise. I know she is having a TOUGH time here and that she doesnt come from a great place in terms of home life. But i talked with her aunt and grandma whom she ia staying with ths summer. They tell me more about this awesome little girl and about how she gets made fun of constantly back home because she has aspergers and is just different.
I told them about youth group and they were SOOOOOOO excited. She ia coming on Thursday and I can not wait! She just needs friends who love her and will embrace her for who God created her to be. She has a rwlationship with Jesus already which is Great...but I dont know the deth of it . It is obviously not extremely high because she has very low self esteem. So lease keep her in prayer as she takes this step. I AM SOOO EXCITED FOR HER TO COME. She just needs love and friendship......and she WILL get it here. Jesus was just all aroubd there today and he helped me and apoke through me as I reached out to this girl desperate for a single friend. Praise the Lord!!! I am so excited! I lift His name on High it is so cool and great! What a glorious day this was!!!
I love you all!!! :) miss you!
Trust in Jesus and love always! :)
