October, where are you?

Although I can't hardly believe it, today is the first of November.  I write that in astonishment and think where did October go?  I mean, seriously!  We just finished up our third modular class and have a week of service coming up.  I'll be working with the children's ministry all next week helping paint, organize and work with the kids.  That should be interesting...

I hope you all got my October support letter.  God is really doing some amazing things here in Kansas City.  The other night there were a few of us hanging out and I felt the only place I needed to be was with the Lord.  So, I went to the Prayer Room and went home around 5 a.m.  I told a friend of mine, "I sat in the same spot for more than two hours...that's a miracle."  You guys probably know that I may be the most fidgety person you will ever meet.  Either way, my heart was so struck and I couldn't leave.  I tell you what, staying up until 5 will really wreck your sleeping habits though!

My roommate Danielle left for The Call in San Diego, CA, Friday.  For more info on The Call, click thecall.com.  It's been a little lonely around here without her.  She gets back on Sunday and another friend, Heidi (who's been staying with us), and I are going to pick her up from the airport.  Dang, I miss that girl!

Just wanted to shortly thank everyone that has sent prayers out to our family when Grandma, Treva Crabill, passed away two weeks ago.  She was such an amazing woman!  I remember the funny names she always used to call us...Bladderskiders...as we were sliding down the slipper-slide on wax paper.  Where she came up with that remains a mystery.  But thank you to all you guys who have been thinking of us.  I have a wonderful family and was able to enjoy them while I was home for the funeral.

Bless you all!  Hope to hear from you soon!
