The guys had the opportunity to slingshot
paintball thanks to Jerry Fast who came through with his promise. I thought they were excited for the chance to hit me with paintball but
I was equally excited for the opportunity. Jacques wore a winter jacket for
protection which I thought he was overreacting but I soon understood why he
dressed up the way he did. Nevin the strategic one hung out on the roof
looking for preys to devour which he successfully did. Alek got hit the most
and I was shooting at anything that moved behind and in front of me. None of us sustained a major
injury which is a praise, and after that we enjoyed a
delicious meal at Jerry’s home.

The last time I cheered so hard was when my beloved Seahawks whooped the Denver Broncos in the last super
bowl. The dorm guys and I cheered and screamed at every good play and points
the Lady Lions scored during their Volleyball tournament in Saco. Even though
we were disappointed after the game not to get a win because the girls really played well, we had some good plays we reminisced as we left
Saco.

After an exciting game of
volleyball, I took the students bowling. I actually forgot it was Halloween and some of kids were upset at me for not taking them to track-n-treat in Glasgow; I had to make
it up to them by going bowling. I had a blast watching the kids compete against
each other. Nevin won the first game by 114 points and he rubbed it in our faces and told us how good he was. I couldn't take it and
neither did the other guys so we stepped up our A game.
I won the next game by 117 point and I rubbed it in their faces as well. As the new king they all went after my record but I had to stay on my toes to make sure that didn't happen. I got a 118 points in the final game to maintain my bowling superiority and then we called it a night.
  
We compete hard; make fun of each other; goof around a lot; laugh together; discipline when it is required, tease each other; give each other a hard time, but at the end of the day, we are a family.
Danae and I cherish every opportunity to love, admonish and enjoy spending quality time with our dorm kids and what a privilege it has being. We can honestly say that some days don't go the way we want them to be but God gives us the strength to look forward to better days which we have had plenty of.
Things to pray for us are: to love each other as a family; to be united with Christ; to deny ourselves and take up our cross daily, and most importantly to rejoice in the gospel. Our prayers and condolences also goes to the Toavs family for their lost.
I Peter 1:8-9 says, "Though you have not seen him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls." My prayers for you is that you will rejoice in Jesus and be reminded that His grace is sufficient for you EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!
