My fan doubles as a mouse trap

February 14- So last night I played on the worship team with Alex (lead), Kristi (keyboard), Rebecca (singing) and Daniel (drums). It was probably the coolest thing I have ever done :] I’ve never played with drums before, so it was really fun! People kept coming up to me and said I was playing “like a rockstar” so I don’t know if that means I was like head banging or doing something stupid…? But I mean I was actually worshipping in Spanish, it was so awesome :]



It’s been really awesome how God able to use me in ways I would never had thought. First, I’ve been doing a lot of work on the computer which I mentioned before. But also I took a class in high school my senior year that was a 3-hour block that was teaching at a preschool. I had to plan and create a game, plan the lesson, etc. and here Pastor Phil asked me to do something similar. I love playing guitar so I’ve been praying that if that is a gift that God has given me, that he would use me through it. Then, when I was just suppose to play with Pastor Phil, Alex comes who also leads on Sunday’s so I get to do that too!


February 17-

I don’t really have anything new to update. The past few days I’ve been sick with the flu. Although, yesterday I woke up and the room had a funny smell. I looked over and in the fan there was a dead mouse. Sarah had left so I was by myself so I crawled out of bed and tried to figure out what to do. Our apartment is like a sauna so I didn’t want to just turn it off and take it out of the room. But it’s not like I had a screw driver or wanted to go and walk to Pastor Phil’s. So I sat on the floor with a spoon and spent around 5 minutes trying to loosen the screws on our box fan. Finally I got two off and had to shake it to get the mouse out and swept it out of the house. I thought this all might have been a dream, but at some point (not sure what time) Brooke and the girls stopped by and the dead mouse was right by the door on the outside. I was so confused I just stared at it ha ha.

But it’s been awesome how friendly people are here. Our neighbor/landlord brought over Sprite and Gingerale and Sylvia brought some food over and called Brooke and was the one who told her to check on me. I’m going to miss it here :)
