Busy Busy!

I am having a great time guys! On Monday when we got to the Taft Housing there was another group there so we decided to go in the mornings. We have been going to the Taft Housing from 9-12. We are doing something similar to a vacation bible school with kids that live in the housing. They are so cute and so appreciative of just a smile and hug. They are so excited about the songs and games even at 9 in the morning. I have been seeking God on what my mission is here, you know. I unfortunately haven't been seeking him enough. I really have one of the workers their heaving on my heart. We hit it off from day one. She's 18 and her name is Maria. She is going to be a senior this upcoming year and I'm really trying to encourage her to go to college. She of course if scared of leaving home and her family. Please pray for me to find guidance in what I'm supposed to be in her life. Overall things are going really smoothly. Today me and another girl named Michelle had the kids in two shifts and man I can tell you all that I definitely am not ready to have children. Those little ones were all over the place. yeah I'm in charge of the recreational part. Using games to teach the lesson they learned and man they can't focus more than like 25 seconds. It's truly amazing to me. We eventually started playing duck duck goose because the older were taking a long time. I tip my hat to the elementary teachers our there and the pre-school. I will put you all on my prayer list.



On the sight seeing part I have enjoyed seeing all the sites the NY has to offer. I went to were the Twin Towers were and that was honestly humbeling. There definitely is a presence there. I call it a peace. God's love is amazing! That is what I felt down there. Time Square is exactly how it looks on the TV. It's so cool to see though. I think i'm going to do a photolink once I get back, but for now here are a couple.

Well, thank you all for continuing to pray for me and this trip. I've received texts and phone calls of encouragement and I appreciate it. Love yall! See some of yall soon!
