Well, I'm sure most of you are wondering what our family is so busy doing! We are getting ready for the annual ATI (Advances Training Institute) Conference in Sacramento, CA, July 1-4. We attended the conference last year, and we hoped the Lord would have us attend this year again!
Here we are getting ready, and were all very excited! We are planning to leave the 29th, Monday morning, at which I will try to keep you all updated. I believe we will be starting out around 4-6 am in the morning. The trip will take over 7 hours. We'll arrive at our hotel and then I think Dad would like to visit some places there. Tuesday, we will have registration, and I will have a teacher training to attend. I am volunteering to work in the CI, Children's Institute, where I will be working with 4-7 year-olds, teaching verses, songs and different character qualities. I am very excited to see how the Lord uses this year's CI to teach me!
Ryan, Daniel and Isaiah will be attending a program called ALERT CADET. Where they will be taken on a tram to a camp. Here they will be taught many useful and survival skills. they are also going to work on verses and character building skills. Ryan and Daniel went last year and now Isaiah is graduating from CI to ALERT CADET. He's very excited!
Caytlin will attend a girls program called Pre-excel, where she will do almost the same as in a CI, but a more "girl" version; Learning songs, verses and character qualities. She is very excited, as she went last year and had a wonderful time!
Dad and Mom will attend sessions of teaching from godly men and women. Mr. Bill Gothard will be present and will speak, as well as several others. Last year (I missed it because I was teaching in the CI) my family heard from and met Mr. Doug Small.
Nathanael is going to the CI again and he is very excited! He still loves to sing the songs from last year and he will be on my team!
So, we have had alot of shopping and preparing to do! All of us have to wear certain outfits to the different programs. Pray that we will find everything we need!
To a more present subject. We are going to have dinner with Aunt Rocio and Uncle Dan tonight at 4:30pm. We are all very excited! We haven't seen them since April.
Well I'm going to have to run! That's all for now!
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose".
Romans 8:28
