Last week we drove to North Carolina to the YWAM Charlotte base in Monroe! We went for a gathering of all the south east YWAM bases. Back when I went to Scotland in 2003, ’04, and ’05, I went with YWAM Charlotte so, I got to see my old friends who are on staff!
Kristina, and Amy my Scotland leaders in 2005. I love them!It was fun to get to meet DTS students from different YWAM bases around the area. It was so much fun! We had a very exiting 12 hour trip up in an old yellow school bus. I was in the back which meant I got the breeze of all the slightly open windows, it was chilly. Plus to add to the drama the bus stalled out twice! 
Oh No the bus died again! (my roomates Kelsey, Jordan, and carsia)
Me and Lish, staying warm
I also got to go home for a few hours which were amazing. It was so great to be back in the NC, cause I have missed it. I have also really miss fall and cold weather. One afternoon a group of us went to the YWCA and had a great time with some inner city kids, I loved it so much. We did a little teaching on the fruits of the spirit, and then danced and sang a bit. Afterwards we helped them with their homework and played. It really wasn’t much but you can tell it meant a lot to the kids.

Our teaching last week was on evangelism and spiritual discipline, it was good, although most of it I already knew. But my highlight of the week was on Thursday night when my family came down and Ken Helser came and we worshiped and just had fun in the presence of God. It was so awesome! On Friday we drove back to Orlando!
This week is Thanksgiving! And although it feels nothing like Thanksgiving due to the fact that the temp is in the 70’s I am convinced it is. ;) YWAM Orlando has a big Thanksgiving blow out every year and although I am sad to miss my family I am excited about the YWAM Thanksgiving Extravaganza! Each person is supposed to make something but if you know me one thing is never enough, so…one of my house mates is helping my make 4 dishes. We are making sweet potato casserole, cranberry relish, fresh broccoli salad, and a cheese ball. It is going to be sooo much fun, I can’t wait. Even though it looks like I will be up all night Wednesday night to get it all done, it will still be fun.
