Been here a Whole week!

          Its finally starting to sink in, this Hotel might be my home for a long time!  I am actually very lucky, everyone who works here is so nice, and there is even a guy named Christian who cooks my food, and reminds me of my brother, just because of the name. They couldn't be more opposite.  My brother is the ultimate babe player slayer and this guy, well, lets just say is not.  Anywhooo I uploaded some pictures just so you know what my life is like right now.  I could sum it up easily. TEA and CANDY hahah, no but really. I have been drinking so much tea! I am drinking some now in fact. I finally got my hands on this tea for sore throat which is great, because I need to heal for try outs tomorrow! Also the candy here is SOO goood, makes our chocolate taste like poopsicles. Don't worry I got a list down of who wants what candy when i come home
Christin-jelly babies and fruit pastels
Stanton-a lil bit of everything
just let me know!

So fact, apparently Copa shoes are NOT cool here! haha everyone thinks im a granny player! Oh well I like my copa's i will rock it. Actually, i might try on some different kinds because my copa's ripped and it rains a lot here so they get very heavy and wet! But I will not deny that Copas have been good to me. xoxo haha

Now lets discuss United Kingdom tele. yes tele a.k.a television. Its RIDONKULUS haha.  The funniest shows are on, i cant even explain.  They also play a lot of "friends", so Jessica Menzube I now have a new appreciation for that tv show.

I am slowly catching on to the phrases here, I am pretty sure I will sound different when I come home.  My uncle Aubrey is picking me up tomorrow after training and I will be spending 2 days with my family! I am so excited, I have not seen them in ages! I will finally get some good food in me, today I did have eggs tho wohoo!

Soo just something else I want to share, I was reading My Utmost for his Highest (thank you Tim Hall for the book) and this sentence really stuck with me
         "Am i so in love with Him that I take no thought for where He might lead me, or am I watching to see how much respect i get as i measure how much service I should give Him?"
I had this mindset the whole time that if I make the team I will give all my glory to him, and recognize he gave me this ability. There isn't to big of a problem with this, but I realized that I shouldn't have to wait for the future to serve God and to praise him for my ability.  I might not make the team, but that does not take away what God gave me.  I should serve him now, not later when I get "respect". Anyway just something to think about. I shouldn't measure my service on what he does for me, I should do all I can for Him.
(p.s) Kim and Bert if u guys do bible study let me know the time so I can skype it! I can make it work!

Well I hope all of you are well! I love you all so much! And all I can say is serve him now, don't wait till your in need of something or want something.

Also put up a pic of Monkey B, he travels with me, thanks to stanny
