Flexibility

Last week at Christian Challenge which is Gunnison's version of BCM, we learned about flexibility. As an illustration, Tim, who was presenting, decided to change the location on us, without us knowing. So we arrived at Joe Rick's place, where we normally have CC, only to bump into Eric and Nick on the way there. They said that the location had been changed to Trinity. So we drove all the way back into town to Trinity only to see another sign saying it had moved to Tim and Jerri's place.

At this point, we had figured out what was going on. So me in my lil blue mini van with the 4 other girls followed Nick and Eric to the location. They taught about what it means to be flexible. One of the things Joe said was that ministry is rather inconvenient and that we should always be flexible.

Well, me being miss punctual was rather annoyed in the car before i figured out that this was all a "joke" but seriously, it taught me about how inflexible I am sometimes.

So on Sunday, we had a youth mission group come from Missouri and that night I found out that our plans for the whole week would be changed. First, we were only going to help at the carnival and minister to the carnival workers which I've been so excited about. This would mean we would have a rather light week. Well, turns out that the group wanted to do a BackYard Bible Club With us and also a Youth VBS. Oh the memories of VBS. Though it was a great week, it was so tiring.

So I was grumpy. I had to call everyone and set up vans to get the kids in the morning, ride the routes to show the missionaries where all the kids live and etc. OF course I wanted to be all grumpy about it but I remembered the talk about flexibility and also remembered what my mentor, Miss Becky said. She said that even if it's a short time, when you pour your life into someone else's, it never goes to waste.

I also wanted to report a praise. I have asked many of you to pray for the Cottens, the family that I've fallen in love with. Well, I called their mom after I sent you all my email and she agreed to allow me to teach the Bible to her kids. PRAISE GOD!

I visited the Cottens on Sunday to see the kids and the mom wouldn't even let me into the house but I got to ask them about some of the Bible readings that I gave them to do. Donovan, the oldest twin who said his fave guy in the Bible was Moses because of the Ark (we straightened that out later), actually read about Noah and knew about the Rainbow. It's a miracle
