Chuck E Cheese

Well... this Sunday was Chuck E Cheese. I'm not sure if I spelled that right. This Sunday my bus route ran three buses. That's a little scary when you have only 12 workers, and two of them aren't going to be able to be there!!! On 89-3 A, my bus captain was on there, my male worker bro. Chris and a freshman lady worker, Ashley. On my bus 89-3 B, there was two of my male workers, Andrew and Zed, me and a lady worker from 89-8. On 89-3 C, there was two male workers, Daniel and David, and two lady workers, Jade and Sarah. On my bus we had a total of 53! I was really excited because that's the most that we have had in our section and we had the most out of all three buses! The total for the day was 158 on 89-3! That includes all the workers and the drive-ins. I was really excited!!!
There's these four boys that have been riding my bus for about three weeks. They are the cutest little boys!!! Stephen, the oldest one who's 9, always make sure he's sitting with me on the bus. Well, this Sunday their mom came a
nd she brought her little daughter with her and one of her friends. Well, the morning was kind of crazy and she got mad because our rental driver was taking off too fast. She told me that her sons would no longer be allowed to ride the bus. I was mad because I had just started to get attached to them! We dropped her off to church and then took all the kids to their Sunday School classes. After church we were getting all the kids on the bus and she had just gotten on the bus. She came up to me and said " You know how I told you that me and the boys were never coming back? Well, I changed my mind. I'll ride this crazy bus every Sunday to hear that Jack Schaap guy preach!" I was so excited to hear that! It was also amazing to hear her call someone and hear how excited she was about what happened in church that day!

Zoo Sunday!!!

Well...it's time for my weekly post! This past Sunday was Zoo Sunday. It went pretty well...better than most Zoo Sundays go for our bus route! We had two buses again. Our bus was a lot better this week! We have a new section leader and he knows how to handle the kids a lot better!!! Me and Chelsea had two visitors so that was good! After church we went to the zoo. They split up all the kids between all the workers. I ended up getting eight little kids to take all by myself! I was a little worried because some of the kids have a tendency to run off and go by them self. Well, they didn't run off. One girls Julissa went around the corner so I thought she had run off. She had my purse because she insisted on carrying it for me. I went around the corner and she was waiting there for me. I ended up carrying a different kid throughout the whole time we were at the zoo. (All their legs were getting tired!!!) Both of our buses ended up having 114! So all in all it was a really good day!
Below are pictures from Christian Womenhood. I helped out in Jr. Spec. It was a lot of fun! There was six different teams. I was on the orange reeses team! The girls were so cute and I enjoyed it very much! Oh and by the way I am still praying for Jordan to heal very quickly! I love him very much and hate to hear how much pain he is going through!!!!!

Rocket Launch Sunday...

I'm getting a lot better at doing updates on my blog. This past Sunday was Rocket launch Sunday. Me and My Soul-winning partner, Chelsea, had two visitors. We were supposed to have three more but their mom told us at the last moment that they couldn't come this Sunday.We were bummed out because we have been trying to get these kids to come for three weeks!!!!! Oh well, there's always the next week! Our Sunday started out kind-of rough. 89-2 another bus in our division didn't turn in their money for a bus this week. So, they crammed about 30 of their kids on our 2nd bus(which was the bus that I was on), plus about five of their workers. Well, we had about 35 of our own kids on our bus, plus five of our workers. There were seats with four and five people and a lot with three. It was packed out!!!!!
We get to church and we dropped of our teens and adults and then took our kids to City Baptist, where they have Sunday School and a Jr. church service. I had 15 girls in my Sunday School class. It was great!! They were so good! Then after my cl
ass one of my friends texted me and told me they had seen three of our bus kids at the other location where the other bus kids go. It was Kiaralyn, Giovanni, and Alina, which is my main family! The two girls were in my Sunday school class last year and we're very close. Kiaralyn, the youngest, often calls me mom! Well, I guess it turns out that they moved off of our route on to a different bus route. I was heart broken! These are my kids and now I most likely never see them because the route they are on are on a totally different schedule. I've cried a lot over this and its frustrating because I know that there is nothing I can do about it!
Not only that happened though. One of our teens brought three first time visitors. They're the cutest boys ever. One of the boys got punched in the face in teen center. So,
when we were loading all the kids on the bus he was missing. Then his younger two brothers started to get worried. Then after he came back we noticed that we were missing two other kids. It was a sister and a brother. What happened was they got off the bus in the morning when we dropped of the teens and went to the wrong Sunday School department. We ended up finding the little boy by himself! (He's only four!) Then about fifteen minutes later we found the sister! Talk about the craziest Sunday ever!!! It doesn't usually go like this but everything just seemed to go wrong! I was glad when all the kids were dropped of and we were done!!!

I have this picture of Jordan that I took while I was home for the summer. It was probably one of the last pictures that I took of him. I don't know why but I love this picture. I guess because it was before he was in so much pain. I really wish there was something I could do to make the pain go away! On Tuesday in chapel they announced the prayer request for Jordan. Many of my friends have come up to me and tell me they're praying for Jordan! Before the prayer request was announced, I had already asked a lot of my close friends to pray for Jordan. There's a couple thousand students at H.A.C. and many of them are praying for my little man to be healed!

Our fall program and some pics from college...


Well, this past Sunday started our fall program. This past Sunday was Goldfish Sunday. My bus route had two different buses. We had a pretty good day. Me and my soul-winning partner, Chelsea, had four visitors. That was very exciting!! Our bus route did a lot to promote Goldfish Sunday. We gave away Goldfish to every rider, we had pizza on the bus, and we also had a few different raffles. We raffled of a basketball, a fishtank, and a playstation 2. On the way home, a few of our male workers swallowed a goldfish. They kids love it when they swallow a goldfish. I only got to get one picture because my batteries in my camera died.
Not too much else has been going on. It's been really hard being at college while Jordan is going through so much pain. I wish so bad that I could be there for him. He's my little man!!! I've been praying for him so much and today I put a prayer request about him to get announced in chapel. A lot of my fiends that I already told are praying for him to be healed very quickly!
Here are some pics that I finally was able to put up.

Hey Everyone!!!

Well... it has been a very long time since I have been on here. Well... I've been back at college for about a month now. Things are going great, I guess. It's a lot different this year for me. It's something about being graduated and knowing that I don't have to necessary be here that makes it different and harder to stay. I do love it though. The first week we had camp week. That was a blast!!! They had eight different teams. My team was the Blue Venom. Each day we would have sessions split up by your class level. Then later we would have team competitions. It was soo much fun. Well, my team ended up winning this year! So, we get to have a pizza party sometime. Then classes started the week after. that's going great. My bus route is amazing. My soul-winning partner is a freshman this year. Her name is Chelsea. We have a lot of fun and this week we had two first time visitors. That was very exciting!!! My Sunday school class is going great. My girls love the Sunday school lessons I've been teaching them and they seem to learn a lot! After the lesson, I'll ask them questions and they seem to remember everything. It's amazing how much they have learned! I've taken lots of pictures which I'll have to put up another time because I have to go. But I miss everyone lots and can't wait to see them at Thanksgiving!! Especially Latoya, Jordan, Kelsey, and Kaylee!!!!
