Blind Will See Ministries

I haven’t had internet for a couple of days now and have been dying to try and write a new post. I am sorry that it has taken this long, but it’s hard to write a new post when you don’t have internet! But it was nice to not have to worry about responding to emails like crazy and make sure that I have a new post every day. I will definitely be updating more now that I have internet again and have gotten into a “routine.”

Tomorrow, our family is going to Arizona to spend Christmas with my mom’s family, so that will be awesome. I will be working on several projects while I am out there and will also be working on a series of posts that I am sure will be beneficial to everyone! Thanks for reading!

O and the series of tech stuff still isn’t over! I have a couple more posts left still!

It has been a CRAZY week so far. This whole week has been filled with tying up loose ends and getting ready for today.

On Wednesday after church, we had a going away thing at the go kart track and it was sooo much fun. It was great being able to relax and have some fun with all of my friends. I am going to miss everyone down here so very much.

Thursday, David and Katie left so I spent a lot of time with them and helped them get ready as much as I could. Then I stayed up till about 1:45 this morning packing and then did some work after that. I did get a little bit of sleep which is nice because today is going to be even crazier!

I leave Arequipa today around 5:10 or so in the afternoon. I know at least one person will probably be crying, me! Please pray that I will be able to get all of the little things done today and that in the next week I will be able to have everything done and ready to go! Thanks and God bless

Well, here are the results from the Christmas poll. I hope that you enjoy!

My mom said:

I love the music, the smells, and the food of Christmas. Mostly though, I love spending time with those I love most - my family. This year will be extra special, because we will be with my family in Arizona and get to see my grandparents, who I haven’t seen in a long time. It will be the first time we have all been together in over 10 years.

John Pearson said:

Your Christmas music timing is not weird, just ask my family. September is the official start of Christmas music time at the Pearson house because the day after Christmas I don’t even let them hum the stuff.

Jeremy West said:

Well, we usually start our Christmas music Nov. 1st and play it til Jan 1st. But my favorite part is the food. My grandma always cooks an amazing ham and all the sides you could ask for. Plus I like the time we spend at my grandma’s house. Every year, we squeeze about 20 people into her very small house in the ATL suburbs. It’s always a blast. Well, I hope you have a Merry Christmas. See you on the 15th. ttyl.

Cohetillos, Cohetes, rata blanca, todo tipo de fuegos artificiales.

And finally, Mrs. Betty said:

I love the music too. I always store my Christmas CD’s with the decorations. If I didn’t, you might hear it in July I love the lights on the Christmas tree at night and to hear Austin read the Christmas story as we all gather together on Christmas day. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas with your wonderful family!!!

I hope that you all will have an awesome Christmas and not forget the real Reason for the season!
