The leaves are changing color, the air is crisp, and the sun is shining!

God is at work in my life. I can definately feel the prayers of many people and am so thankful for all the thoughts and prayers. The last couple days I have felt God's presence and just seen him work in little ways.

It is two of my roomates birthdays over the next couple of days and so we had an 80's birthday party for them last night. It was fun to have people over and celebrate each of them.

Here I am getting the food ready for the party...

We played talked, played games, and had lots of laughs!

Some of the group that came to the party!

My roomate Jetta and I went to Old Colorado City on Saturday afternoon, and then went to the Garden of the Gods since she had never been there before. It was a beautiful fall day! Colorado is beautiful this time of the year. We had such a wonderful time together!

There was a Pumpkin weighing contest in Old Colorado City and this was one of the pumpkins!

"I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens me." On Sunday at 12:00pm, we (Focus Leadership Institute) are leaving to go to the University of New Mexico for a Pro- Life abortion demonstration with Justice For All. Basically what we are doing is beginning dialogue and conversation with other students. There is a three sided panel three people high that is displayed on campus that brings about discussion with other students.

The mission of Justice For All is to train thousands to make abortion unthinkable for millions, one person at a time. This is accomplished through training a leadership core who are equipped to engage students using Justice For All photo exhibits that are placed upon U.S university campuses.

I had training all day Friday with JFA. We did a lot of roleplaying and were trained on different approaches of how to answer and ask questions. It was a lot to take in and was honestly overwhelming. The topic of abortion is very controversial, and will stir lots of conversation and emotions. On Monday and Tuesday we will be at the University of New Mexico standing in front of the sign, engaging in conversation with other students all day. I will post more about my experience when we return from our trip on Wednesday.

I would appreciate your prayers. It is going to be a tough couple days. I am in need of Jesus, and am completely dependent on Him. I can do all things through him and his work in and through my life.
