My first post ever!!!

Hey everyone!!! I am so sorry it took so long for me to start one of these things. But hopefully it will help a lot with keeping in touch with all of you. As this is my first blog it is kind of simple but I promise it will be followed with pictures and stories and all kinds of awesomeness. So far though I am doing very well. For those of you who I have neglected to tell, I am living in Bushwick, an area in Brooklyn, and my site where I do sidewalk sunday school is in Harlem. Look up Drew Hamilton Houses on Google earth and you'see it. The past few weeks have been frustrating and tiresome. But you will never get anywhere in this life if you are not willing to stay committed through those times. a lot of people have been asking if I am enjoying myself or if I am having fun. No. At times yes, of course, but this is not the place to enjoy yourself. Last weekend the Bloods were having their initiation. The Bloods and the Crips are the two biggest gangs here. The rumors said they had to kill 31 women over the weekend and they were cutting people's faces. It's hard to teach Sunday school knowing that's going on a few blocks away. But yes, we still had Sunday school, still on the sidewalk, and I still love it. Every Friday I get to spend almost an hour just hagning out and dancing with my boys at my site. It's such a blessing to be here. God has provided me with opportunities that I do not deserve and I praise Him for that. Well hopefully I'll here from a lot of you soon. Blessings.
I will get some pictures here as soon as I can. If you guys could be praying that I could keep my focus where it needs to be and that I would learn to have more dilligence with the paperwork aspect of my work. Thank you all so much. I really appreciate all of you, some more than others. hahaha. Peace.
