OCTOBER NEWSLETTER

Well i was having trouble with emailing my newsletters to people so im going to try this and hope it works better.

The month of October felt so much like one big trip for me. Before i start on the Paducah trip i want to say i got my report card back and i got two a's and two b's, i was really excited about it and hope that yall will share in my excitement.

Paducah, KY where to start, where to start? Well i guess i can start with the number of 10 days through 9 states and over 40 hours on a bus.... then add no sleep night the night before.... me and a group of friends decided to stay up all night.... we left at 5:30 in the morning. I had a lot of time to sleep on the bus.... beleive it or not the floor of a bus is one of the most comfortable places i have ever slept. We made our first stop in St. Louis, Missiouri, the arch was so cool.

and i went to a museum it was so awesome. i would really love to go again sometime.

Then after that we went to Lone Oak Church of Christ for a few days. LOCoC is such a loving congregation, they made me feel like i was home again. which made me miss you guys more than i already did. I got to do my first flag presentation as an AIMer..... my first one was with the 07 class in childress. Holding the flag of a nation that is not your own, to me is a powerful thing. Just knowing that each flag represents over a million lost people.

Mike Tenero was there to teach a class about loving the lost like Christ would. He again as expected did an amazing job, he is such an eloquent speaker.

Ok so we got into a little bit of trouble while in Paducah, apparently they were under a burn ban in KY........ We did not know this, and the church asked us to burn a bunch of old broken/ unfixable furniture. Fire Department wasn't too happy but we told them we were from Texas and they left and told us to be careful.

On the way back home we got to stop in Montgomery, AL for the World Missions Workshop at Faulkner University, which had some awesome classes that we sat through. there was a lot of people on this little bitty campus.

Yea!!!!!! for buses breaking down in Dallas. Our bus broke down and by the time we left from the church parking lot and got home it was 2:00 in the morning, but the good side of that is that they cancelled school the next day so it gave me a day to regroup .

My new classes are Acts taught by Ray Young, Romans taught by Charles Speer, New Testament Church taught by Victor Ellison, and Spiritual Nurturing taught by Jay Jarboe and Our own James Henderson. Im really excited about our new classes.

Okay the most stressful time for me will start next week and end right before Christmas break..... The Directors will start the team/ field selection. I know that God will put me in a place im needed and people that are best for me to work with. So i ask please pray for me because i will definitly need the prayers.

Thats all for this newsletter but please feel free to contact me 940 \585/ 8147

AIMing to fulfill the great commission
