I probably should be blogging more, but I've been lazy about it.

Life right now has been slow....no work, no school, just doing whatever whenever with my grandma until my schedule of work starts in a week. It's been so relaxing and I am SO greatful that God has allowed me some time for doing "nothing" although I should be studying the Bible more than I am...it's been a slow process studying the book of 1Sam. I am enjoying it a lot. :) And I can't wait until I get into 2Sam.

Idaho is an awesome place! (And for those who said "Why Idaho?" Because Idaho is awesome, that's why!)

For the first time in my life, I get some freedom and privacy like I never have before. (Some days I have been using it better than others) Although, I can say I have been doing a lot more talking/meditation to God lately. :)

And I know why God called me to Idaho, specifically:

Not so much to mentor/minister to the Deaf here, like I originally interpreted, but to be here for my grandmother, to show her God's grace and compassion by serving her and going to church with her (she is not saved, but goes to church and Bible study).

My grandmother's heart is softening, and I am so glad to see that. :)Because she never stepped inside a church when I was younger.

And I am getting connected to the church my grandma, her sister (my great-aunt) and my great-uncle go to. :) Grace Bible Church is a great church, very welcoming people and staff and I am going to start helping them with their children's ministry. :) Kids are awesome!! All kids are awesome!!

My NNU is all figured out, I just need my finalized schedule and then I'll know what books and stuff I need.

My work transfer finally came through, altough there was a hiccup with that. The person I needed to keep in contact with during the process went on a two week vacation, but that's okay, this extra time of quiet is a really great thing.

:) I just can't say enough about Idaho...

But I do miss my family, they called today, and I was really great to hear their voices and I do hope my dad gets his pilot's license back so they can visit more ;)

God Bless you guys! And thanks for reading and for the prayers!
