Happy November Day!!!
It’s November first and it is starting to get cold…ok maybe it already is cold. Last night Becky and I participated in Trunk or Treat at Heartland, the Christian school here in town. It was a lot of fun, I went as a frozen person, well actually I didn’t dress up but that’s what I became after a while.
We took our truck and used the decorations from VBS this year and made the lodge. We took the fire pit that was given to the Youth Group as a beautiful decoration, and we had our camping chairs on it. Well, we actually lit the fire, it kept my friend Kody and I warm most of the night until we started packing up. It probably wasn’t the brightest idea to have a fire on your truck bed right above the gas tank surrounded by cardboard and a bunch of people, but hey it was fun!! Actually mom, it wasn’t a big fire and we were safe the whole time.
After that we came home for 2 minutes and went to Bible study, well ok young adult hangout. We were all tired so we didn’t really do anything. I got a phone call to tell me to go look at the front of the house. We had plastic wrap around our trees and forks and knives lying on the sidewalk, evidently it was to cold or frozen to stick the forks in the ground. I left it up, I thought it was somewhat creative so our neighbors should at least get to see it.
As for our trip we had a great time…once we left the airport. We arrived in KCI to blinking lights and buzzing, the fire alarm had be set off. Just believe me when I say it got worse from there. But the conference was awesome, I learned a lot and we connected with some of the youth pastors from Kansas. Plus I got to see some old friends from IWU. Becky and I were blessed to be spoiled by Sharon (Becky’s Mom) and Uncle Dan & Aunt Carol. I enjoyed eating real food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TEXAS ROADHOUSE
We also got to pick on our cousins, who I will not name for their own sake…but they will never see Olive Garden the same again, I hope you two had fun!!
We also got to share some pretzels with James and Rebekah, we went shopping and oh yeah James, I don’t like where the pants hit me and I hope everything comes out ok, call me if you need to talk about it!! We also got the privilege of getting spanked in bowling by James…surprise, surprise. We went to IWU and got a tour from Ezra, James could you make one of those games we played in the lodge? I really want one of those to play with my teens.
I spoke in Introduction to Youth Ministry…those kids don’t have a clue what they are getting into…Well I think that’s good for know…I hope everyone is doing well…we are also trying to get home for Christmas…we’ll let you know…
Love Ya..

It was great to have you back at The WU! Good to see you guys. You are my favorite Youth Pastors in Jayhawk country!!
It sounds like you had a lot of fun. Wish Heather and I could have come down to visit.
I think the only time I beat James in Bowling is when we were at Ottawa Lane's and are lane wasn't working properly. You had two chances to get a strike.
When are you going to be home next?
We miss you. Are you coming for Thanksgiving?

"blinking lights and buzzing, the fire alarm had been set off."
SOUNDS LIKE CINCY 94 Was it another forklift backing into a pole? KEEP ON KEEP'N ON. Youth leaders are a special breed. We're all CRAZY!!!!! Later
Well Maddie had fun seeing you guys even though she wasn't good enough to get an honorable mention!
Sorry we missed you by only a few days!! IWU has changed so much, huh? We ate at Baldwin one day and we had such a hard time finding our way around. We are coming home in March... anyway to see you then?
Love,
