New York, New York

Well, my time here has been one of great enjoyment. I have been able to do a lot and I have seen a lot as well. It has really been a great time. Yesterday I was able to go to New York. Our main reason for going there was to see the UDC (Urban Discipleship Center) that is located in the heart of the Bronx. This was such a great time! We participated in a VBS that was held in the park. I was able to play basketball with a bunch of boys and then we all went to VBS, it really was a great time.

After the VBS we went back to the main home and we were able to go out and enjoy New York. I took the subway and we went straight to the Statue of Liberty, after some minor issues on the fairy we were able to make our way to Time Square. I was in aw. I had never seen anything like this. Living in LA has some major advantages but even LA does not look like this. I saw where the ball drops at new years and I was also able to see the main parts of New York city. It was so amazing.

We got home really late, it was around 4 in the morning. I also had to be at work at 8, naturally I was a bit late. Today was a good day as well tho. We were able to really get a lot done. We had an orientation for a missions outreach. We visited a local Mosque and we were really able to connect with the small team going out. I have really looked at this missions thing in a different light now. I love serving people, however I really like sending teams out too. This is such a good trip for me!

I can not wait to see how God will continue to use my time here. Amazing summer!!

-Peace, Pat
