Grandparents, Sweet Tea, Casinos, and Church

Well I made it to Lewiston and made it through my first Sunday at my new church! It was so great to spend time with my grandparents in Post Falls this week before I came to Lewiston. I don't get to see them much, and I have never gotten to spend time with them completely to myself so that was really special and fun. I am also back in the land of Tillamook products!!!!! For those of you that don't know, Tillamook makes the best cheese and best ice cream. Period.
I moved in with a wonderful couple, Ken and Christine King. They have spoiled me with my own bedroom, bathroom, and sitting room. Christine also stocked the fridge with sweet tea! Sweet tea does not exist up here really, so for her to do that was awesome. Sweet tea is my one southern habit.:)
For my first night in Lewiston last night I went to a casino on the reservation. Unfortunately there was no money gambled...:) There is a bug auditorium there so I was there watching a new student at her dance recital.
Today was also my first Sunday at Lewiston First which was such a great time. I got to meet my new students during Sunday School, and then during the service, the whole church came and prayed over me. I already feel apart of the church family. It was so fun to worship with a truly authentic group of people who really love the LORD, and I get to for 3 months!
I was whisked away after church to Taco Time with the Middletons (Aaron Middleton is the youth pastor I am working with) and the Johnsons (another sweet family in the church). For those of you back home that don't know what Taco Time is, I am sure you are thinking something along the lines of Taco Bell. Well stop that. Taco Time does serve the some of the same types of food as Taco Bell, but its WAAAAYYYYYYY better. Like real meat and sit down restaurant sized portions. It was so good. I then went to a girls small group and got to know some of my new girls a little better.
I am loving being out here, but it is hard to go from the only place I've ever known, to anywhere else, so I miss everyone back home a lot, but thankful I will be pretty busy here, so that will make up for missing everyone. BUT I really do love being on this adventure. It has been awesome so far, and I know I couldn't have picked a better youth pastor, or church to intern with out here.
I know some people have wanted my new address, so message me or talk to mom if you want it. I would LOVE some mail from home!
I love you all and miss you terribly, but am thankful to know I am covered with prayers from home!

Ok Aaron (the only guy) is my youth pastor I am interning with. His daughters are Kelsey, the girl in front of me, and Sarah, the girl next to me (his wife Steph was taking the picture). Then the Johnsons are Dena, who is next to Sarah, and her daughters across from her, Amber and Ashley.
