Hey guys,
Today has been a harder day and normally I might not make a mention of this but I thought you might like to know sometimes it's hard. Today was Tanya's birthday so it was rough for her, a good day but a hard day, for her and for me because I was sad that she was sad and then I thought why she might be sad and then except for the whole birthday thing, her problem applied to me too. But I want to tell you that I am trying really hard to look at the positive, so let me tell you all the fantastic things about my life now;

1. God has taken me so far and done wonderful things for me.
2. I have two fantastic roommates, who love me and laugh and love life.
3. I have a roommate going through a similar thing, so we can lean on each other and work through this together. 
4. I have AWESOME teachers who care a lot about the Lord and us. And also have such conviction in what they teach.
5. I am surrounded by a bunch of classmate who are lovely.
6. We are a singing class, and the singing sounds great here.
7. We have here AIM assistants who guide us and care about us. Example Amy Jo (who some of you might know) who spent her field time in Auckland and is just the nicest tiniest person, or Diana who told me to come up with 5 positive things. (I'm just going to take that idea and see how far I can go).
8. I have made so many new friends here, people I will be friends with forever I think.
9. God has bless me to be here on this wonderful adventure.
10. God has blessed me with wonderful supporters who believe in me and that encourage me just by being there.

25. Even better, I am doing that with my awesome friend Amanda who makes my heart happy every time I see her, because she is such a gentle spirit.
26. My New Testament teacher reminds me of my dad.

33. On Wednesday nights we get to go to the college class and, the singing is fantastic, the lessons are fantastic and there are so many kids there and one kid out of the youth class was baptized this last Wednesday.
34.  We have this thing called Catacombs where we sing in the Memorial Circle at Texas Tech (a local uni) and the singing is fantastic, they have a power point which is awesome because I don't know some of the song.
35. Jesus died for my sins and your's too.
36. The sky is blue the majority of the time.

These are in no particular order, by the way, just as I thought of them. That's all I have time to do. I hope this was as uplifting for you as it was for me. I feel much better. Now I am going to go to bed. 

Good night and God Bless.
