Hello Everyone!!!

This week has been a rough week! I have been sick!!! The Flu bug finally hitt me, and I have been out of comission all week. Please be praying for complete healing, as I start class tomorrow night at the Fire Department! Also, This week has been tough, as tuesday, my best friends niece, not even 2 months old passed away in her sleep from bilaterall Pnemonia. They are like a second family to me over here in Montana. Please be praying for healing and peace and comfort through this hard time. Wednesday was the anniversary of my good friend Justin who died in high school. Its always a rough day for me, but always trying to see the good and remember all the good times! today, thursday is the 1 year anniversary of Eileen Fehlen, Grandma Pie, my pastor at Stanwood Foursquare of her passing last year. Eileen was one of the biggest influential people in my life, of why and how I ended up here at Lakeside, Montana YWAM to do my DTS. She is a huge reason why and how i completed my school also. Losing her half way throught my DTS, was not east at all! But God taught me in the midst of all the hurt, that He is my number one person to go to, for comfort, guidance and peace. So even though i couldnt just go call Eileen anymore, God taught me that i needed to go to him first. That was a huge lesson in life. I am remembering today all the memories of Eileen and miss her everyday! Please be praying with me today and this week.

Love you all!
