All else that happened in the last month!!

This post is to catch me up on my blogging experience. The job status: I started working for Venturi carpet cleaning company but ended up quitting after working 21 hours in two days. I was not happy working so much, this was a bummer because now I wasn't able to collect unemployment because I accepted a job and also Silver Cup called me to work with them. I was mad at myself for making the wrong decision instead of working for Silver Cup but the other job was a more permanent thing as opposed to the temp warehouse job. I worked for Silver Cup for about 7 days all together and was hoping that they would hire me on as a permanent worker but that didn't work out. This last Monday though, I got hired by a corporation called Bonney-Watson funeral home. My job description is a courier for the company. I basically go to the county health department and file death certificate for them and then when they are complete I go get them signed by doctors. It is a fun job but it only is about 25-30 hours a week at 10 dollars an hour. This is good and it is better than being on unemployment, I will need to have another part time job to help supplement this income so i am looking everywhere.

The cool thing about this job is that I am replacing a really cool old guy named Clancy. Clancy is a former pastor of a Methodist church and now he is ready to retire and that is where I come in. My first three days of work I had the great opportunity to spend with this man. He did so much for me, for instance he bought me lunch two out of the three days there. He also offered to get me some suit items because he always gets free stuff and then gives them to missionaries. Clancy is just one of the sweetest, most well liked people around, he is a guy with a contagious personality. Clancy rules!!

Another thing that happened in the last month is that we had a winter breakaway camp for the youth group. This was a different experience for me because for the first time I was one of the main leaders of this group. Breakaway ruled. We started out the event with some prison ball and sardines the first night. The next day we had our teachings and the grossest game I have ever played called: Get Janie out of Jail. Basically the concept of this game was to get your Janie out of jail by winning challenges, it was designed to be a team building event and it definitely was. We had some major teamwork and team spirit. Some of the challenges included some gross eating contests ending with one event that was supposed to get as many kids as possible to throw up. A couple kids ate live goldfish. I had about 15 live crickets and worms and a bunch of different really gross stuff.

The service on Saturday night was off the Hook. We started out by having a really cool fun catchy start that got people bobbing around even Ken was hopping up in down and that is a miracle I have to say. After that we did a human video but more of a dance to the song Shackles. It went off well and the kids loved it. Then Fela and Poppy did a rap that they wrote which was cool and then after that worship continued to build to being off the hook. After that we had the seperation of the sexes talk which went well from the guy point of view. When the whole service was wrapped up we went outside to have a bonfire. Sunday service was good, but the most important part of the whole weekend happened after that when we prayed for each kid. The whole event was leading up to this time and it was awesome and powerful. I felt like I was getting words for every kid that I prayed for it was amazing.

Another thing that is beginning to be hard for me is that I am really struggling with God about this whole situation with girls. All my friends around me are beginning to get hooked up with one another. I feel like I am getting left behind. I don't understand why God hasn't brought my young lady to me yet. I am a wonderful guy and I have so much love to give I just really need to have that relationship soon because it sucks, I have been waiting for 9 years now and I am still waiting and then I see all these people who are either together now or are now on the path to marriage and all this has happened in the two years I have been here in Seattle it really isn't a long time. I feel I have been patient and I really feel like I deserve to have this wonderful relationship with the right person. God loves me and knows what is best for me but I just don't understand. ARGHHHH!!

Anyway that is a recap of my life I will try to get back onto writing every couple of days again, See you all happy Blogging hope you enjoy!

Love,
