Update

So...I got a job. I start Tuesday at the Caramel Apple Gift Company. I'll probably gain twenty pounds within the first week, but that's okay...because I have a job.

Halloween was pretty fun this year. I was proud of my make-shift costumes. I went to the band party as a nudist on strike. So, basically I wore the same clothes I had been wearing all day and carried around a sign that said "on strike". On Halloween, I put a little more effort into my costume. Only a little- but I thought it was pretty funny. Can you guess what I am?

In case you belong to the large majority of the human race and don't get it, I'm a ceiling fan.

I carved quite a few personalized pumpkins this year. If anyone is still interested in buying one, please let me know. It's past Halloween, but these pumpkins are actually artificial so you can get them whenever and use them for many Halloweens/Thanksgivings to come. Or you can be like Meagan and just use it as a lamp. :o)








It's been fun. Oh, one more thing. I got a letter from Nelson the other day. It was adorable. I've gotten about three or four letters from him so far, but this was the first time he wrote a sentence by himself. He'll be nine next month, but the grade equivalence in Uganda is 1st grade here. He wrote, "I love you along with my parents." It's just so neat to see it in his handwriting. The rest of the letter goes on to say that it's cold and rainy over there, he's improving at school, and has been playing football and learning mathematics. He enjoys singing to God and has discovered that God loves children so much. He has also learned that it is good and necessary to love God with all your heart and all your mind. The letter ended with two things. 1)He hopes to see my physically, and 2)He will be praying for my studies and future. Wow. It blows my mind that he's praying for me. Hopefully one day I will be able to go see him. That would pretty much make my life.

God is good. Just had to say that after this week.

*PS: I just added the links to 5 new photo albums. Enjoy.

Until next time, peace.
