Another Awesome Week

VBS in Danville was a huge success this week! Lives as well as families were forever changed this week! Awesome job HPC Danville! We had a little over 230 people come out last night for the family bar-b-q. One of the largest events HPC Danville has experienced. Their main concern now is how to accommodate all of the people who said they would be at church this Sunday. God will not give them more than they can handle. It is going to be awesome at HPC Danville this weekend. Can not wait to hear all the stories!
Well we are heading home tomorrow. It's not going to be easy saying good bye to all my new freinds. Here is some pictures of me and some of my new friends:



Me & Siena





Me & Caden


I'LL BE BACK!
HPC Danville is AWESOME! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

My Cali Twin

This is a picture of me and Jessica. My chocolate loving, sarcastic Danville twin!

Heather could only find her twin on TV!


But here is why...........



Checkout these shoes Heather bought today!!!!!!






Seriously today was an awesome day, we had 8 new kids show up today! At this rate we may have 100 kids by the end of the week. Can you say Wahoo!!!

The kids are starting to warm up! They got a little more involved in worship today. I actually saw some clapping going on. By the end of the week we are going to have these kids jumping!




They had a blast getting drenched as they crossed the Jordan River at game time today!

It is such a blast as well as a privilege to be given the opportunity to have an impact and be impacted by kids all over the world! Their is nothing better than this!!!!!

Gone Country

I was out walking around the property this afternoon just checking out the scenery. I just had a strange urge to pick up a piece of straw and stick it in my mouth. Thats what they do on all the westerns!
I think I have spent too much time on Avalanch Ranch!

VBS Danville Style

They maybe small, but they are good!


In addition to your ordinary VBS activities they had stuff like:






Pony Rides







Petting Zoo





and Mining for Gold!


(How Cool is that??!!!)




Who would not want to come to this VBS!!!!

HPC Danville Style


Heather and I were the greeters this morning at our Danville campus! We got to experience an HPC service Danville style this morning. God showed up and it was an awesome service! Just the beginning of a great week here in Danville.

After service today we got an opportunity to drive to San Francisco and check out the sites.





We got to see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island along with all the other great sites in San Francisco.





It was just a little windy today!
Not to mention COLD! I thought this was California??? It is amazing how the temperature can change so drastically just a few miles down the road!
Today was a great day! We are now ready for another great week of VBS YEA HAW!!

It's Rough in Danville

We started off today with a water (it was really coke) giveaway in downtown Danville. All I can say is, it's not Louisiana. We had a great time even if we end up needing counseling due to all the rejection we encountered. Once we got to the point where we could not handle anymore rejection we went and checked out the location for VBS. They have done an awesome job creating their stage and props.




Yes, that is Heather in the Jail!



After spending the afternoon working on putting together VBS crafts, we came back for a simple dinner! But first we had to go pick us some blackberry's!
Seriously we are having a great time! Our Danville family is awesome! We love it here!

Report from Cambodia

A few hours ago they had just finished their second night of crusades where thousands had shown up and hundreds were saved. God is awesome! Mrs. Sherrie had an awesome day teaching yesterday and she will be speaking at one of the local churches in the morning (8pm tonight). Please continue to keep her in your prayers. God is doing great things!

We Have Arrived In Danville

After several delays due to mechanical issues and weather we finally made it here at midnight local time. At 1am this morning on our way to where we are staying we were sitting in bumper to bumper traffic who would have ever thought it was 1am. After a great night sleep, checkout the awesome views I got to wake up to this morning!

They Finally Made It!

After a 19 hour plane ride (not to mention the couple of short ones) and a 5 hour van ride (that did of course break down) Mrs. Sherrie has arrived in Battambang. She is checked in to her hotel and trying to chill (air is broken) for the evening. It is almost 8:30pm there. Please be praying for her as she will be teaching in the morning (8pm tonight here). What an awesome experience this will be for the entire team. Keep Praying!!!!!

The First 24 Hours


Well I have to admit Rox, H and Lacy have done a great job trying to keep me occupied! Started off with a pedicure, have to have cute feet! Then last night Lacy and I went and saw "License to Wed" it was hilarious!

We started off the day with a stop at Starbucks of course!
We then headed down to Bro. Ronnie's office to do a little work where we encountered an alligator. The alligator was too fast for me to get a picture of so all I have to show you is Heathers reenactment of the alligator!
After getting a little lunch at Cheesecake Bistro where I had a little issue with Heather double dipping. I escorted Rox and H to the DMV which was the whole reason for today's outing so that Heather can get on the airplane Friday when we go to Danville. As soon as we pulled in the parking space at the DMV the sky opened up so needless to say we got drenched, made for great drivers license pictures. The 3 of us were having so much fun in the DMV that the lady standing in line behind me looked at me and said I would love to see you guys when you are actually doing something fun. We had a great day! And after all that I was still able to find the top of my desk today. Those of you who saw my desk last week during VBS knows that was no easy task. As I am posting this I just got a text from Mrs. Sherrie and they just landed in Singapore, they are still not to their final destination, that is one long trip! One day down 9 to go!

One Long Night


I'm not use to being on this side; don't like it so much. I'm use to being the one leaving, not the one being left. I know God has a lesson for me to learn through this, just hope I get it the first time. Cause their is nothing worse than feeling like you just lost your best friend. I'm trying to look at the bright side it's only for 10 days!

Now What????


Well for those of you who are always fussing at me to update my blog (Aimee')you are going to be happy for the next 2 weeks. Now with Mrs. Sherrie gone to Cambodia I'm bored and have nothing to do but blog. Just hope I'm not so bored that I don't have anything to say!

And they are off!!!




Mrs. Sherrie along with Lance and some of part-time elevate headed out for Cambodia today. Please be praying for them over the next 10 days as they are fulfilling God's call to reach the nations. What an awesome opportunity each one of these team members have been given! HPC will be well represented!

Can You Say Bears?



This past week at VBS the kids were given an opportunity to make 2 bears. One to send to Africa and the other to keep and everytime they hold that bear they are reminded to pray for the child on the other side of the world who received it. I am fortunate and priveleged enough to be able to get to deliver these bears to the children in Mozambique. In a little less than a month I will be able to take another picture showing the children who receive these bears. How awesome is that!!!!!! I am so blessed that God allows me to be a part of what He is doing in the lives of all these children!
