Hey Guys,
Sorry if this seems a bit garbled, falling asleep while writting thi...zzzzz
So a bit about where I am at: So I'm almost done this semester, one week of exams left, then I'm done school for a while. I start full time working with elementary kids after they're done school after next week. Basicly I get paid to play with kindergarteners for 4 hours. I'm droping electrical engeneering and going into a math and physics program next September to go into teaching highschool math and physics. I've been fealing that this is where I'm supposed to be for a while, but couldn't have droped out of school earlier, I just missed the date to drop out without academic penalty by 2 weeks.
All this year I've been leading a grade 7 small group at my church full of hyper active boys that resemble a group of untrained puppies more than middle school boys. The group can range from a 5 to 18 but I've been leading it with 2 great guys, Ross Borden and Evan Hagerty. But even though the kids are crazy and hard to deal with. I'm loving it. They kids are really challenging at times (Not listening, randomly running out, taking off their shirts...) but there are times that remind me why I do it and why I come back every week when some weeks I go home and bang my head against the wall. Funny story: So most of my group goes to Pacific Christian School (Where I graduated from) and they had Pastors Day there a few weeks ago and the kids invited me to come, so me and the other lead Evan Hagerty went and we walked into their class room and they all cheered our names and ran and gave us hugs, it was really cool, then we skiped their class to play tag. If was awesome.
Now some prayer requests: So I got home from youth tonight and my dad told me that my grandpa had a mild heart attack down in Mexico. A few days ago he was hit by a car down there and was put in ICU and apparently he was complaining his chest was hurting today and he had a mild heart attack. Their flying him home in a few days (Don't know the details) and my parents are flying down there tomorrow morning to drive back up with my grandma. Its kind of hard having this all happen 2 countries away and not being able to go down there. I am really close with my grandparents. Its also really hard having it all happen just before exam week.
You're prayers are much apreciated.
Thanks Guys, miss you all greatly. If any of you find yourselves in Victoria give me a call.
