So it's 12:30am on Friday, August 6th, and I've been home for about a week now. I feel bad I havent updated as much as I should have. It was a crazy summer, but a fulfilling one as well.
My last week in Colorado was great. I got to work with a bunch of close friends I made over the summer, and with Kelsey the girl I worked with last summer in San Diego. Also made some awesome new friendships with a group of Oklahoma.
It was definitely a busy week. When we werent doing VBS we were doing stuff to help reach out to the community there. It was awesome!
I learned so much this summer from how to reach out to the community better, to just studying the Bible. Since I've been back I've started to read with a friend of mine. We're going to read a book of the Bible each week and get together and talk about it. I cant wait. I'm also thinking about trying to figure out a time and place to once a week wake up early and go pray with a small group of other believers. I think that would be awesome! I didnt do it very much in Colorado, but when I did it was very rewarding.
Now that I'm back, I really dont know what to do with myself. I've been able to just sit around and do nothing, and it's just so weird. I feel like i should be out doing something. I'm hoping here this school year I can start to reach out to the community on my own. Just better build relationships with people around me because i've learned that I dont do that enough here.
Sunday my brother leaves for boot camp. Please be praying for him these next three months of his training, and for his fiance too who has to deal with this as well and trying to plan a wedding around all of this.
Also be praying for me as I try to reach out to my community more now that Im home. And be praying that I can keep my focus on God. It's been an awesome summer, and I wish I could write more, but I need to try to get some sleep. Love you all, thank you so much for the prayer and support this summer!
In Christ,

This week was really great. Just lots of work, and went camping this weekend.
Cody challenged me this weekend to find out that James 3:12 means it says "can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water" Growing up I never really learned how to study the Bible, and how to really find out what stuff like this means. I was pretty much just taught to take it as it is, and to take it as faith. Cody showed me how to find out the meaning of it, and he told me to have an answer for him by Sunday (this was Thursday that he told me this) so that night I left for camping, and studied like crazy. He told me how to figure the answer out, but it still took me a long time to figure it out. Something I found out is that I dont know the Bible as well as I should.
I learned that this verse is talking about how you cant be both a follower of christ and be putting people down. The passage talks about taming the tongue. But it also says earlier in verse 8 it says that no man can tame the tongue. So the question then is how can any of us be followers of christ? In chapter 4 of James its talking about how if you yearn for it God will have Grace on you and you can be a follower of Christ.
Today was a really good day at the shelter. Yesterday a 19 year old girl came in with two guys who were in their 40s or 50s. Karen didnt have a good feeling about them all being together so she put the girl up in the Hostel for two nights, last night and tonight. Today I got to talk to her for a couple of hours. She told me her story. She's addicted to alcohol, and these guys know her dad. One of them took advantage of her a few years back, and she forgave him. Now they're traveling together. Her mom is an alcoholic too, but they were able to rely on each other and overcome it. But whenever they fell they fell hard. She really wants to go back home. She told us when she talked to her mom she sounded a lot better but what she really needed was her. She said that she wasnt sure what her mom would say if she went home. I told her that she should ask. She told us that she would and let us know what her mom says. If her mom says that she does want her to come home, we're going to work on getting her a bus ticket home. She's such a sweet girl. She said she likes to sing and play guitar. So I think her and I will get along great. I just hope she does decide to go home and so her and her mom can get sober together. She's definitely trying to overcome her addiction, she did slip up last night though. From what she told me it sounds like she is a christian, just has something she struggles with daily.
I'm really excited to get to know more about her. She seems really uncomfortable there with people older than her and it being mostly guys. So I'm glad I'm there right now so I can help her feel more comfortable and so she can sit and talk with me too when I dont have anything else to do.
Please be praying for her. Her name is Lizz and she really needs it.
I'm really excited about the rest of this week and next week. Next week I'll be going to Leadville to help with a Vacation Bible School. I'm excited to work with kids again. This is my last week at the shelter, and even tho I'm excited to start working with Lee I'm sad that I'm leaving. Had to say bye to two people today there that were going out of town for a while, and i hated it. They were a super great couple.
Anyways, everything has been really great. Please continue praying for Mike. His cancer has spread, and it's so sad to see all he has to go through. He told me today he has to take 58 pills a day now. He had probably 6 or 7 different bags with pills on them with it saying when it take them and how many on the bags. I hate seeing Mike go through this.
Love and miss you all.

Happy Fathers day to all those dads out there, especially mine :) I love you dad!
This last week was just awesome! I got to stay out in Craig, CO and work with a Vacation Bible School out there. Got to spend some time with Kelsey Pile, who was on my team in San Diego last summer. Also got to make some amazing friendships that week! It was really great!
There was a team from Mississippi that was helping at the VBS as well. Great group of people! So nice, and easy to talk to. I worked with one girl Rebekah most of the week. And she is so sweet! You would honestly think she was 20 but she was only 17. So mature, and had a great walk with God.
Here's the Mississippi team
From right to left, Hayes, Lauren, Amanda, Kayla, Rebekah, Daniel, Holly, and Ross
Amanda and Daniel were the leaders, and the rest were highschool seniors/just graduated.
We had a lot of fun with the Mississippi team. We got to go boldering with them on Thursday, which if you dont know what boldering is, you climb these huge rocks without a harness. It was a blast! I didnt climb back down though, I was to chicken, Rebekah and I both, so her and I repelled down. It was a blast.
I stayed with a different host family this week, which they were amazing! They took us up to Steamboat to strawberry park and went to the natural hot springs, which was absolutely amazing! I was so tense, and it just helped me relax!
That day we also ran across a little chipmunk, which was absolutely adorable, and I got a really good picture of him

I know the Bible says not to be proud, but I am so proud of this picture I got with my new camera! I love it! lol.
Here's also a view from the car on the way to the host home I was staying at this last week. Absolutely gorgeous!
We had to drive about 2 or 3 miles on a dirt road to get to this house, but it was totally worth it! Absolutely beautiful! We saw SO many deer and elk this week. One day Taylor the girl that stayed with me and I saw 10 deer at once. It was just crazy. Even going into town at night you had to watch for them, the last night we were there, there was a huge deer crossing the road.
This is Taylor and I, Her and i hit it off really well. I miss her like crazy now, and really wish we were working together this summer. Really great awesome girl!
I have so many funny stories I could go into about this week with the 4 and 5 year olds, but they would honestly probably only be funny to me and the others that worked this week. It was awesome being able to help plant those seeds in those little kids. We got to see Lee Byram, the pastor at the church kiss a pig AND get a pie in the face, which was great. The kids raised a total of 262 pounds of pennies. Which I have no idea how much dollar amount that would be, but that is awesome in my book!
Well, I should get going, I have to get ready to go to the homeless shelter this afternoon. I'm glad to be back in New Castle, but I miss Craig a lot. And having a vehicle. haha. Hoping to go see everyone in Breckinridge soon.
Love and miss you all so much!

End of week two!
Hey everyone :)
This has been one crazy week I'll tell ya what! Every day seems like I get busier and busier.
God's been doing some awesome things! I've had the pleasure of getting to know Cody Fulk, he works at Feed My Sheep Ministries, the homeless shelter. I can honestly say, I have never met anyone before who knows the Bible better than this guy! I've been able to ask him about anything in the Bible that I didnt really understand he would ask me questions about it, and have me answer them, in a way that answered my questions. He also really has challenged me to get into the word. He told me once I get home I should find someone to weekly read a book in the Bible with and then discuss what God has taught us through it, and now I have someone to do that with once I get home. He told me "I have learned so much more just studying the Bible with a friend than I have in school." Cody and his family are moving to Uganda at the end of July to be missionaries. Not just going for a certain amount of time, but literally moving there. When people ask him how long they'll be there his response is "30 years." Here's the website Cody has set up for his trip, if you can support them in any way, do it. He doesnt have any set job, they're just living off of what they can raise. Cody and his family are going to do some really amazing things! http://www.followingjesustouganda.com/
Feed My Sheep has been awesome! Been really starting to build relationships with the homeless there. There's one guy Cooter, he's hilarious! He talks sooo fondly about his grandkids, and kids. He'll be getting to see some of them soon, and is so excited about it! It's hard to hear a lot of their stories, but some of them are just a stroke of bad luck. There are some that are bad into drugs and alcohol, but not all of them. A lot of them will just go out and drink on the weekends, not during the week, cause they know if they come into The Sheep drunk, they wont be allowed to stay. Ever since I started working there, all my stereotypes, and judgements about the homeless has gone completely out the window. They are some of the nicest, most humble people you could EVER meet!
This town is so pretty, and I just love it. It stormed last night, and today a bit, but its so weird, you'll look out one way, and storm, you look out another way, complete sunshine. Like as I started writing this blog, it was raining and hailing, but the sun was shining. So amazing! AND no humidity even when it does rain haha. I have my new camera now, so I'm taking pictures trying to catch up from the last 2 weeks, but it's hard cause I dont go do much stuff yet.
This week I'm going to be driving to and from Craig, CO working at a church with their Vacation Bible School. I'm really looking forward to it cause I'm in charge of the recreation for the preschoolers. I will honestly say I was really bummed when I found out I wasnt going to be working with kids this year, but I was also really excited about working with adults and learning how to build relationships with them. I've learned so much about how to reach out to your community, and I'll learn even more next month. I'm really excited about seeing how churches here reach out. It's such a big part of ministry here, and they realize that reaching out is what you really have to do. they realize that you have to have events on neutral ground if you really want people from your community to come. I'm so excited to learn more from Lee, and Cody, and everyone here! It's so amazing!
I'm trying to read through the whole Bible by July 31st I'm in Exodus right now, but I'm behind. A Few days ago I was eating dinner with my host family, Kaitlyn the 15 year old daughter is not a christian. During dinner we were talking, and got on the subject of religion, and her and I had an awesome talk! It takes a lot for her to open up and trust, but she opened right up and was talking to me about it. I'm really looking forward to talking to her more, and hopefully by the end of the summer having her accept christ, and if not, at least that seed was planted.
Anyways, I need to finish getting ready to go set up for VBS. Be praying for me this week that the VBS goes on without any problems, and that more conversations with Kaitlyn will open up, and that her heart and mind would be open to what I have to say.
In Christ,
Hannah

One week down!!
Hey everyone :) this week has been an amazing amazing week! The homeless shelter is going great, I'm slowly building relationships with everyone there, and its really amazing how much discussion they're open to.
I just got back from my first orientation, which seemed to be more for the VBS people, than the people helping out else where. But it was great! Got to see Kelsey which she was on my team in San Diego last summer. It looks like I'll be working with her at a VBS next week in Craig, CO which is about 2 hours away from me in New Castle. So Alison will be picking me up every morning, and we'll be driving out there for VBS. I'll be a head of the recreation for the preschoolers. Which will be crazy, and awesome all at the same time.
So looks like I wont be getting my Saturday off like I usually do. But thats totally fine. I was hoping to work with a VBS this summer. I'm also waiting on a call from Ross about a sports camp we'll be helping out with once a week. I'm really looking forward to that! So as time goes on, I'm getting busier and busier, but I'm loving every moment of it! Looks like I'll still have most evenings off I believe, but I'm not really sure. I'll find out more later this week.
There has been so many great talks going on lately that I've been able to listen in on. If you know me, I'm the type that likes to sit back and listen to everyones opinions instead of giving my own unless I have something REALLY good to say haha. I really enjoy being able to sit and listen to people's opinions and seeing how they go with my opinions, I just normally cant think of a quick response like some people can. Which is why I avoid debating haha.
It's been really great being able to dig into God's word every day. I'm thinking about trying to read through the bible again. The last few times I've tried I wasnt in the habit of reading every day, but I think I would be able to do it this summer. So I'm going to try.
Be praying for me these next few weeks of being busy busy busy, and that I dont get to overwhelmed and that I can keep my focus on God and not myself, and how worn out I am. The last few days have been nice cause I've been able to sleep in and relax. The first week I was crazy tired, and I'm slowly getting used to the elevation, and being busy all the time.
It's almost 95 degrees right now, so I think I'm going to go downstairs where it's cool, and dig into God's word.
In Christ,
Hanah

So sorry it's taken me a while to write. I havent had internet yet this trip, and have barely any cell phone reception. Only enough to have short phone conversations and text.
I'm so excited to see what God does this summer. The last few days I've been helping out at the homeless shelter, which is amazing! These people are soooo nice and so humble at the same time. There was a guy that came in today and he was drunk, and started causing trouble in the church, cops came, and took him away. Nothing happened down in the shelter, he went up where the church was. But whenever someone drunk comes in, they tell him they cant stay. They dont want that in the church for safety reasons which is really great. It's mostly men there, but there are some women. One woman that is there her name is Lynn and she believes some wacky stuff that I wouldnt even be able to tell you all everything she said. There are so many hurting people here. It's crazy. But I'm so excited to see how God will use me and this homeless ministry this summer.
My host home is great! This family is so nice and welcoming. I'm enjoying it so much! it's also great cause I can help them grow in their relationship with God cause they're not strong christians.
I only have one other person on my team. His name is Ross. He's a really great guy. We get along really well. I've already learned so much from him, and Lee our supervisor. I think Ross and I are going to go to the River Center which is a center that Lee has started for his church and for the community to use. They have a prayer room there, and I think Ross and I are going to go once a week and just pray and read the Bible for a while. I'm really excited to take that time to just spend with God. Whenever we're on our way back to my host home for Ross to drop me off, we always talk about the day. I'm excited because tonight I'm actually going to be able to get into The Word. They're so big on that here. Which is awesome! I havent ever really had anyone pushing me to get into the word daily, and I'm so glad I have that this summer, so I can really get into it, and get into the habit of getting into it daily, that way once I go home I will be able to stay in God's word better than I ever have.
These next few weeks I'll continue to work with the homeless ministry, and just building relationships with the homeless, and my host family. I'm really excited to see what God will teach me through all of this. I've already learned a lot, and I'm really looking forward to learning more. I'll try to update this at least once a week, but might be more, might be less. Depends on how busy I get.
In Christ,
Hannah

I'll try to update this at least once a week, but might be more, might be less. Depends on how busy I get.
In Christ,

Hey hey hey! I leave for Colorado on Monday! I'm so excited to see what God will teach me these next two months while I'm there. This is a way for me to document the summer, and everything going on, so later in life I can come back and read what God had taught me in this time. it's also a way for me to update everyone throughout my summer, let everyone know what I'm doing and how God is transforming my life.
In June I will be working with a church's homeless ministry, and in July I will be working with a church with something called Missional Days which I'm not sure what that entails.
Tonight at church Marc (my pastor) along with some friends of mine prayed over me for my trip. It's so great to know that they have my back, and that they support me 100% with what I feel God is calling me to do. This is such a great opportunity for me, and I cannot cannot cannot cannot wait to see what God teaches me, and how I will take what I learn into the mission field after college. Anyways, that's all I have for now :) I'll update on Monday night or Tuesday after I get to Colorado.
