its hard thinking im going to be coming home soon, i really have to prepare myself. i am tired. we have lived in a different house every week since the start of september. lots of late nights and early mornings i think i will be glad to be in 1 place for a while! its been an amazing time though!
we just all have to give it everything we have for the last 3 weeks and see what God can do through us all!

detention centre

on thursday we had the opportunity to go into a juvenille detention centre. this was a first for me! we did a school assembly set up but we were able to talk openly about God and preach to the young people. afterwards we went to their cells and where allowed to talk and pray with them.
i was talking with 2 girls, one was 17 and the other 16 and had a 1 year old girls at home. they had some questions about God but they said they wanted to start living for him so we prayed for them and encouraged them. a lot of kids would rather keep getting in trouble and being sent back to juvi becasue its better than being at home. for others a couple days is a wake up call and they come out determined to do better!
it was a realy good experience and God definately changed lives in that place!

busy busy

this has been such a busy tour i have hardly had time to think!
i am now in my fourth host home; middletown ohio.
i am so excited that this week things are going to slow down! we have more time to relax in between all the school assemblies and shows!
things are going really well. some towns are easier to work in than others but most churches are excited to have us in the area!

the other day we went to cedar point! alton towers eat you heart out! it was so good, i think it took 5 years off my life. it was good to get a break and spend time with friends because even though we are all on tour we only see each other for a hour or so ever couple days! busy busy busy!!

one week down.... 6 to go!

its crazy to think we have only been here a week because it already feels so much longer because we are so busy all the time.
this week we were actually staying just over the state line in Indiana. we have had lots of school assemblies and all the big shows for the area were this weekend.

on thurday our small team had the opportuity to preform and speak at a food bank in a church. afterwards we spent time praying for people who needed healing from different things. i was speaking to a women who had diabetes. her husband died last year and she couldn't afford health insurance to get the insulin she needs. i prayed for her for a while and she said that she felt God had done something in her and she was healed. this week we have already had many stories of people healed from back pain, migraines and sight problems.
i believe that God is here and he is working in the people of this area and its really exciting to see.
i am looking forward to whats in store the rest of the time we are here!

OHIO!!!!

so i have started another tour, this time its ohio!
i am dancing again but its a little different! i am part of a combo team so instead of skaters im on a team with strong men!!!! these guys are crazy, they break bricks, rip phone books bend bars with their teeth etc etc!
so mostly i am doing school assemblies! the team has ready done 9 in 2 days, so we have to split up a lot! im looking forward to getting to do some ministry and speak with kids also. its going to be a packed 7 weeks but so worth it!

its been great to meet up with friends from the last tour and get to catch up, its hard seeing as we're spread all over the world!
