Prayer

Guys, some of you may know but, my mom has cancer and is in a lot of pain in her back because thats where the cancer has spread. And she is going to the states tomorrow to get it checked out because the pain is so bad she can hardly move, she will have to be in a neck brace and on a lot of meds. Please pray for her, I’m here in Wisconsin and I can’t do anything but pray. I’m really worried not just for her but for my dad and brother that they will know what to do. My dad will be coming with my mom and my brother will be staying there. Pray for my brother, because he’s struggling with this and he doesn’t know how to handle it.

Just pray during this time of uncertainty for my whole family and that we would all be seeking God through all of this.

Wisconsin=Frozen Extremities

So the weather up here has been really weird.  Last week it was in the high 40’s sunny and all the snow melted. Well in the last couple of days the temperature has dropped and right now I’m pretty sure that it’s about -11 with the wind chill. And it’s supposed to be that cold during the day….DURING THE DAY!!!  So it’s recommended that under a certain temperature you aren’t supposed to be outside for a certain period of time. And I’m sure that this weekend will be one of those times that kids won’t be able to be outside for more that 20 minutes for fear of FROSTBITE!!! This weekend we have about 375+ kids coming for our winterXtreme (winter extreme for in case you didn’t get it) camp and we have tons of outside activities like tubing on a hill and tobogganing onto the frozen lake and broomball.  Just pray that kids keep their noses.

Just a quick update on the internship we are on our 4th week of winterXtreme. The 13 interns are in charge of running and programming the camp and it’s just been tons of fun.  What we have is a bunch of youth groups that come anywhere from Minnesota to Chicago and we have lots of activities and food and just a time where the youth pastors can bond with their youth groups and a time for the kids to experience amazing worship and a great speaker.
