Update

Hello to all my friends!  I know it's been a while since my last blog.  So here is an update!

Words cannot express how much I miss you all.  I am doing well up here in Yuba City.  I am learning so much ever day.  I work with awesome people who are just caverns full of knowledge and I am so honored to get the importunity to work with them.  It's so hard to believe that I have 5 short weeks left.  A lot of people have asked me where I am going next, and I always answered them with "I don't know."  I know that I will be exactly where God wants me to be.

This past week I asked my boss here in Yuba City about the possibility of an extension in my contract.  That is something that I really would like to do because I do enjoy working with the elderly.  She told me that she would absolutely love for me to stay for another 13 weeks, the only problem is that census at the facility is low.  That means no work for me.  So unless it picks up, I will be moving on to the next location.

I spoke with my recruiter and mentioned to here that I would like to stay if they offered me an extension, but I had also told her about the low census.  She told me that she would be talking to some people and get back to me.  Later that day she called me and told me that they wanted to extend my contract.  I was excited to say the least. 

The next day when I went to work, I told my boss the good news and she told me that they had not mentioned it to her.  She told me that they probable just went ahead and extended my contract because my boss had nothing but good things to say about my work.  After my bos got off the phone with her boss she told me that if the census doesn't pick up that they have a need for a PTA in Vacaville. So I called my recruiter back and told her what my boss at the facility told me.  I had mentioned to her that if the facility that I am currently in can't extend my contract that I would really prefer to go back down to Southern California.  I miss my friends and family.

Now I told her that I prefer to go back down to Southern California.  I don't mind where I go, as long as there is work for me.  She she told me of a Facility in Bishop, CA that may be looking for a
PTA.  She was going to check up on that and get back to me.  So for now, I am happy and content where I am at.

I have finally found a church out here that I like.  I went to the Calvary out here, but I had a hard time with his topical teachings.  There is nothing wrong with them, I just prefer a verse by verse study.  The church is called Crossroads Community Church.  They have a Saturday night contemporary worship service.  I've been going the last couple of Saturday's, except last Saturday.  I went to visit my BFF in Sanoma county.  What a wonderful relaxing weekend, but I think I'm still recuperating from it.  This weekend was quite unproductive. 

Regardless of where my next assignment may be, I asked for a weeks vacation so that I can drive down to Southern Cal and see all you beautiful people.  I will keep you updated on what's going on.  

Well, that's all for now.  My prayer requests are for God's continual guidance in my life and for my next assignment (wherever that may be.)
