Long Week

I've had a long and interesting week. I've been talking to different missions organizations, employers, etc. I've also been working on writing out stuff about my past and why Russia. I'm also including names about people that have influenced me along the way. It will be a first name basis just to be safe. Also in the past week my neighbors were busted for a drug house that I had told people about from recognizing stuff from my past. I was never a drug dealer, or anything like that but I had friends that were into that type of thing. I also hung out with a mix of jocks and druggies growing up. Some of my closest friends were killed dealing with that stuff, or abused the stuff. Some days I wish that I had spoken up more about it as a kid and maybe stopped some of the stuff before it happened. I was also involved with some gang related stuff, but the only time I would get in trouble was when I was protecting somebody that I cared about, or that couldn't defend themselves. Fighting to hurt is stupid! I also couldn't stand it when guys disrespect girls and don't listen to them. God made every women's heart in it's own unique way for one man to love and to hold. The same people with the drug house also got me with bear mace (it's used to take down a grizzly bear) and other stuff. On top of all of that my grandma died. I'll always miss her. She was always there for me when I needed her. Here obituary can be found at http://www.papefh.com/obits/View.aspx?oID=590 . I'm happy for her that she can finally be with my grandpa. She missed him. Please pray for my mom and our family. Oh yes and to top off the week my phone died. If anybody wants to know anything all you need to do is ask. I'm considering looking into finding some of the kids that I know that hang out in some of the drug hang out spots and see if they are getting any better, or if they are still there. The way I view it is to see why they take it first and then go from there. So if anything this week pray for my family, the kids, Russia, and so much more. Someday I would love to work with something involving counseling, addictions, street kids etc. in Russia and bring them into the church to show them to the true hope found in one thing and one thing alone. Have a great night!
