The Facts of life

Wel for those of you who were hoping for a birds and bees speech. Sorry to dissappoint. I got kicked out of youth but I don't blan on being banned from the blog.

I just thought I'd give anyone whos interested a brief over view of what has been new and exciting in my rather boring and routine life in the last couple of weeks.

Umm well as anyone who've I talked to knows most of my life has become work. I'm getting between 37-40 hours a week working in 3 departments, Photo, Merchandising, and cashiering. Fun Fun Fun. It hasn't been to bad and becasue the store is in like the victoria version of the bronks I get a pretty good opportunity to try and reachout in smal ways. I think one of the biggest differences of noticed since being at kaleo is how I deal with or escorts, these are heroine addicts who are on our methadone program who have been caught stealing. Before I was really filled with Hatred and tried to subtley show these people I pretty much thought their lives were worthless. Now God is starting to change me, I have tried to show these people love by doing small things like greeting them with a smile or asking them how they are doing. It is not always easy but change is coming. I think maybe the people who went to unio gospel will be able to appreciate this the most becasue they met with smilar types of people.

I hangout with matt alot wel because of all the Victoria people him and I are actually the only ones here now. It is fun. He takes me out for lunch for "youth leader" meetings which of course are covered by our church and we're looking at some different events hes gonna do this year.

Kailey came down to go to Disneyland so we hungout a couple times which was fun. I think shes doing alright, we chilled at her new house before she left to go back to Ness. Its prett sweet. We watched a classic baliwood movie Bride and Predjudie. I'm fairly certain I'm pretty fematized now.

So yeah I haven't had a chance to talk to everyone. Actually I've talked to almost everyone once except MIKAYLA, obviously she is giving me the cold should, JK JK ANyway I don't know everyones writing boring things on the blog like prayer requests (Its a joke) but not very many people are saying how life is so wel i thought I'd lead by example, I hope everyones having a great time. Ally hope to see you soon. Lindsay stay strong out there al alone. Ummm Weaver bro congrats same to you kidd, yeah all the rest of you bums I love and miss you. -HAWS (But not any of yours)

Haws buddy! Who are you trying to kid? You'll always be mine :) Well you said to write about life so why not eh. Qwanoes is good! Its super challenging for me to adjust from kaleo to camp mode and to work in a position that is, well, pointless without campers but they wil come...in a week...holy crap! There's lots of super cool people here but it's challenging to connect with them the same way I was able to connect and trust people in kaleo...especially with the guys but that will come with time. God is also challenging me alot with what I believe about worship and why I believe what I do. Haha I should really be writing all my thoughts down so I have something to write in all my essays next year. It was super rad to see Lampard last night out here at our bible study. God brought him at just the right time...for both of us. Was so good to have someone to talk to! Love you man...even though you are a putz :) Anyways its time for breaky. Miss you guys!

Well since Mikayla is super busy, I'll give ya a rumdown, she went to North Carolina for a few weeks to visit some ppl, then some ppl from there came back to Langly to visit there, then she was gonna go on (probably is right now) a family vacation somewhere on the island. Shes made some new friends and is very busy with life. But yeah, good to hear form you man, work is always the hardest place to let your light really shine (especially in construction) but yeah, your in my prayers bro, God Bless.
