We had so many kids at my site today. We had over 190 kids at john adams houses and about 30 kids at Cauldwell houses. Plus a total of 40 parents at both sites, for a grand total of 260. God is so good ( Read more... )

I drove today for the first time in NYC. It went just fine. Although, I did see things we don't usually see in AZ. Delivery trucks duoble parked, pot hols galore, and TOll Booths.

Today I rode the buses for Saturday Sunday School. The contrast between the two buses I rode was amazing. In the morning I rode with a volunteer co-captain who only had about twenty-five kids on her bus. The bus I rode on the third session was much different. We were in East New York, which is one of the neighborhoods that has historically had ( Read more... )

I went on visitation for the first time today.  What a different culture these kids live in.  John Adams Houses are six 21 story buildings siting on less then 10 acres, housing over 2,300 people.  While there I saw a stairwell with soot all over it from a fire two weeks ago, a boy trying to get his dog out side to pee (He didn't make it), ( Read more... )
