Dear Friends and Family,
Hello all, I hope you are doing very well and have had a bless couple of months. I personally want to apologize for this letter taking so long to get out, I have had very much going on and I was trying to do something fancier than this but then I realized I was running out of time and need to get something out. So be expecting more exciting goodies from me soon 🙂 This letter is to let you know of what is going on in my life, the ones around me, and any exciting news I may have; but most importantly keep up connected and you updated on the World Race 2010. 
Recently I have started a new job which was a complete answer from God, I had been praying for an escape from the job I used to have what ever that may be, it was breaking me apart and the people there were not supportive. If you didn’t know I worked at a general dental office for a year and a half. It was hard to leave because that is where I began my career however the Lord gave me courage. He gave me a new job as well; the best part was after much prayer they called me it was an answer from God because I didn’t even turn in a resume there. I am now an oral surgeon and implants assistant. I love it; it is so wonderful the people I work with are wonderful and so encouraging. They even threw me a mini surprise birthday party on Friday; I didn’t even know they knew my birthday was Saturday. They have shown me so much love and welcomed me into their lives.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter as well and a joyous time with your families full of many blessings. I had such a wonderful time; we had family come in from Wooster, Ohio for the weekend Saturday we went to the Loveland Castle an actual castle that one man built himself over a pe
riod of 52 years (wow). It was such a great time spending time with each other and the weather shaped up for us. We had a cook out, made S’mores and even got to go on top of the castle we had a view from above. Sunday was Easter and a memorable one it was, I went to Church and we talked about Jesus and His resurrection how amazing it is that He laid down His life for us to wash us free from sin and make us pure. He saved our lives so we can be free and have eternal life in His Kingdom. I am proud to say that he has risen from the dead, and I can call him my father. We had an Easter egg hunt for the kids and search for the last one of 53 eggs for a good thirty minutes. Then we had a very good dinner and time with the family, I had a wonderful time spending the weekend with my family and cousins.
This weekend was my 20th Birthday, I am getting so old, I can now say I’ve lived thr
ough two decades. Woah weird! A wonderful 20 years it has been though, I wouldn’t relive any of it. Friday I went to leadership for Young Life and then Mongolian Grill with 24 people and hung out afterwards. Saturday I had family come in we enjoyed our time together then went to Red Lobster, and had an amazing Birthday dinner. Then I finished the night with a bonfire with some wonderful friends. Sunday, I had church and I am learning the meaning of community, I have a wonderful community of people supporting me which is truly amazing and I am so grateful. Sneaky Moe and Harmony wrote on my car while I was in kids church helping they are two sophomore girls I love and have reached out to.
I have had such a blessed life and I am learning to appreciate it more each day, and the beauty in my life from nature, to community and even waking up in the morning. I still have a long way to go with support raising but I want to thank you for every bit you have contributed, weather it be in prayer or financial. I have about $2,000 and still need about $13,000 to go However, I believe the good Lord will provide. You have helped me tremendously, if you have any suggestions on raising money I would love to hear them. Right now I am meeting with my church and discussing options and a rummage sale we want to have. If you know anyone else I could ask for help I would love your helpful advice, I am also going to make prayer bracelets and sell them and possibly a calendar of each place I will be in every month. So there are big plans hopefully going to happen hear in the near future. Again I appreciate you more than words could ever describe I thank God every night for you and your loving support.
