Hello everyone!Things are going wonderful here. I am enjoying being on staff here so much! I got to lead a MA team for the first time last week. A team of 22. They got to experience different ministry's like Hot chocolate night, homeless sack lunch, homeless plunge , prayer walks ,serving food at ST. Anthony's and a couple other really awesome ones! The homeless plunge is really neat because they get to experience first hand on what it feels like to stand in line at Glide for food and be kicked out at 6am until4pm with only bus fare for 1 way. I really enjoyed leading this team, and it wet really well. It was the last team for the summer until October when only Kaitlyn and I will be leading teams of about 50.
I cant wait to start running teams on my own. I also have allot of background/office work to do until teams start again.
Last Thursday evening I got to return home after the teams left for the weekend! It was so nice to enjoy my weekend at my 1st home in Morgan Hill. I got to see baby Tyler and Catrina before she gives birth next week, also my mom and dad!!!! (:
It was wonderful. Next week is the staff camping trip, that should be really fun and I'm SO looking forward to it !
Here's a couple pictures on our website of the woman's day event , that I talked about a couple postings ago. ( I'm in one of them (: hehe )

This is a spot to share about my adventures in San Francisco. So many times missions is thought of as having to be overseas, but I want to share about what God is doing right here in this city everyday. I am so blessed to be here and to see God moving in people's lives everyday!

August.....
HEY!!!!
So it's already August. Crazy!!! Things are going very well here, so thats great!!! (:
This week there are no MA teams coming so its kinda peaceful. I still have allot of office work to be doing and also working in the storefront/the Ellis room, SO much better then the kitchen. HAAHA! But I'll work were God needs me... lol! Saturday BJM ( because Justice matters ) put on a womans day chin dig. It was so neat, a whole bunch of woman came and we had booths for different things, some was for ice cream, nails, massages, making bead neckless and other fun things for woman. It was just a nice place for woman to come and feel good about themselves . Then later that day my friends came over from MH and we hung out and went to the giants game. #55. WONDERFUL! It was a good game and great to show off the TL to my friends!Today after work a small group of girls and I went over Karol's house and made scones ....SO YUMMIE....homemade blueberry and chocolate chip ones. They were wonderful. It was so fun! Well ta ta for now!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!

HELLO everyone!!!!
Happy Sunday! Well I haven't been on in awhile , I'm sorry about that. I have been super busy lately. I have had kitchen duty last week and I'm in there again this week also. It's not east cooking for over 100 Mission adventure students. I'm also in there wired hours so I don't get much sleep. 6am-10am and then back again at 2:30-7 for dinner. I take naps in between being in the kitchen and then it's hard falling asleep at a decent hour so I end up being sooooo tired in the morning. STRANGE! Last Friday we went to the apartment building down the street where all the old Chinese and Rushan people live. We had a ice cream party and played BINGO! It was so much fun, they love that game!!!! Since I have the loudest voice there I was the one to spin the wheal and call out the number.... B7.... it reminded me of 'My Girl' the movie. Well I better get going into the kitchen. Those kids are hungry!!!
Please keep me and my family in your prayers! THANKS!

Hello everyone!
So basically I love being here. Its been awesome so far. I work a lot in the store front so I am getting to know a lot of these people. I baked a cake for a man named Marty today. It was his birthday and he was so excited to have a cake. (: I wish you could have seen his face ! Every week a new MA team comes . Every Tuesday they put on a party in the store front and serve all the homeless people spaghetti and have music for them and everything. It's wonderful. We also have the "food pantry " for all the residence people in the TL. I love working these days! (: It makes my week amazing. I'm doing a lot of office work and doing "behind the scene " stuff for MA!
My friend from my DTS works on staff in Oregon and he's here for the week with his MA kids. It's nice to see him again.
Okay Hope y'all are having a wonderful day

Hello everyone!!!
God is good!!!! Well only two more weeks before I'm shipped off! Heehee!! Actually I plan on leaving on June 15th or 20th. I still need around $200 more monthly to have all my living acquirements taken care of. I know this is what God wants me to do and so I know the money will come in but its so stressful waiting. It's hard because I sold my car and quit my job already ~I'm getting nervous but I am sooooo excited at the same time.Its hard planning right now because I have been so busy lately. My best friend is getting married this week!!! I started packing already.(: PLEASE keep me in your prayers!!!
Proverbs 3:5-6
