My Kansas Family

I wish someone had invented a transporter already. It would be awesome to just transport home so I could see my family and friends. In fact I wish there was a transporter that would transport me back into the future so I could see my Dad and brother. I miss all the memories from the past. We had an amazing family. 

Even though they are gone I still believe I have an amazing family. Something that I have always loved is when Jesus says that everyone is family. In Mark someone tells Jesus that his mother and brother are waiting outside for him. He responds by saying, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mothers and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” I think of what Jesus said. Everyone here in Kansas who does God's will is my family. I thought it would be great to introduce you all to the team.

Garret, Sarah, Tristen (middle), Kindy (left), and Uriah (right)

Since I have been out here these two have been so loving. Garret and Sarah are on fire for God and you can see it in their desire to build myself and the rest of our team into strong disciples for Christ. Sarah has her hands full with these kids while she also is working hard with Garret for this leadership team. Garret is the high school pastor for Life Church and a huge hunter. We have been getting along just fine!

Victoria Davis, Torrey Goring, and Kelli Pugh

It's been great getting to know these girls so far. As you can see from this picture they like to have fun and joke around. When I left my computer they took this picture and set it as my background. Torrey came here from Colorado and the other girls live here in Kansas. They all have a strong heart to serve the Lord, which is why they are here!

Ryan Meador

The first time I met Ryan he introduces himself  saying, "What's up dog?" Right away I could see him as a funny guy. As you can see from this picture he looks like a goof ball. He is a goof ball but most importantly he has a heart for Jesus. Ryan loves to freestyle rap about Jesus. It has been nice having him here with me and I look forward to growing in our friendship.

It has been almost 2 months out here! Crazy! It has been full of ups and downs. When I am down everything inside of me wishes that I could just be home. Although right around the corner God does something amazing and I am on cloud nine praising Jesus. He is teaching me so much here and I can't wait to share with everyone what I am learning. Keep checking on me because I will be blowing you away with news of how amazing our God is.
