this week

So we got home on Sunday (11:30) and they gave us Monday off YEAH. On Tuesday we had a guess speaker come in and talk to us all about being internet coaches for this internet ministry that they are doing. It was really good and it sounds really exciting and pretty amazing. Basically they have these commercials that air on a TON of different radio stations Christian and secular and they tell people that for help and support they can come to these Website (They also talk about Jesus) and when the people go to the site there is a bunch of pages on all different types of issues and there is also the option to E-mail the people asking for help or go to the chat room and have a chat. So they had a respond to 5 different mock E-mails just to see how we communicated. And then on Wednesday he (Sean Dunn) critiqued are E-mails and gave us some more guide lines on how to do it and the does and don’ts of it all and showed us how to log on. So we will all be doing Chats primarily. Which means that once a week, for two hours we log on to the website and wait for someone to want to talk and then we talk to them? Then we had mid week ministries that evening and that as always was a ton of fun. Trevor and I are going through Rainbows with the Preschoolers and we finished up the section on turkeys. Which is giving thanks and all the kids actually new there verse? It was really neat but the kids were also very hyper we are going to try and figure out a way to reward good behavior because just punishing bad isn’t working to well. If you have any suggestions let me know. Thursday we had Lunch buddy interviews this year it is much more in-depth and took a lot of time but we got everyone through. Then we did Scripture review test and after that the 1st years did INSTE and us second years started working on getting water to boil for a ministry that we were going to do that evening. PS3 is coming out and there are lines of people waiting to buy it so we were going to go hand out Hot Chocolate to them all. Then we all meant up to debrief on Ignite (we hadn’t had time at any other time that week) after that people started setting up the sanctuary for the ladies event Friday night and Esther, Trevor, and I started putting the hot chocolate together. Then off we went to minister well when we took on e of the corners both things of hot chocolate spilled everywhere. So we spent three hours cleaning the van instead it was actually pretty fun just not what we expected.

Nice to hear from you again. PTL for you being able to do some ministering chatting in chat rooms. That certainly is needed and we'll be praying for you both etc.

One group had set up a tent at our Circut City a few blocks from our home several days ahead of last night. This group was first in line. Some of them went over to a Target store across the way to use the bathrooms. Coming back they were held up at gun point etc. They also lost their place in line for some reason which I don't know.

I simple don't have that much patience to sit and wait. Of course it is reported that on Ebay these are going for between 2-5000. Maybe the sit would be worth it?
