In His kingdom- Highline/Tukwila Young Life officially has an office as of today at Lake Burien Presbyterian Church. However, I am still working today and possibly most of this week at coffee shops because we have to get the office ready for operation with paint, white board, pictures, desk, filing system, etc. I am confident that Jesus has blessed us with this relationship with LBPC to work shoulder to shoulder together for the advancement of the gospel in our community. Scripture speaks to relationships like we are developing in Mark 9:38-41. This partnership will continue the momentum in starting a new ministry in this community...Sylvester WyldLife...gotta love it! Last week Foster YL had club Monday night with about 44 kids there in the Montoya's living room. That room holds about 25, so it was packed! For the Halloween festivities all the kids dressed in "western theme" and David sent me a video of the entire club doing the "Cupid Shuffle" in the living room, now that's Young Life at its finest! Wednesday night Kale held Lancer Life at Kennedy High School and we all carved pumpkins and sang blue grass music. I would say unofficially there were about 35 kiddos there to hear Kale share his heart about Jesus guiding us through tough times. He helped all the kids realize that if you think you are the only one going through a tough time, or have had a loss in your life, look around, everyone has their hand raised. Great job Kale, what a great way to show kids how to relate with one another.
Collin Gilbert shared this wonderful Oswald Chambers devo with me the other day, thanks Collin!

Then David Montoya shared this devo with me yesterday and I read it while I was getting on the Satsop river to Salmon fish with Pat Farmer.

On the river-Thursday and Friday Keith Dow, Brian Boucher, and I stayed at our friends house in Roslyn, Washington. We floated the Yakima river fly fishing for trout. It was slow, yet Keith and Brian hooked a few good fish on a blue winged olive hatch in late afternoon. The next day Brian left so Keith and I explored the river by driving and hiking sections of the river. That day I caught 1 trout on a bwo nymph pattern. Slow, slow, slow. So on Saturday I was not pleased with the fishing (yet the trip was soooo fun, we had great fellowship, and ate lots of great food!) so I talked to Pat Farmer who lives down in Hoquiam and Sunday we decided to float the Satsop river. I caught my first chum Salmon and learned a lot from Pat about fishing in the state of Washington. He is very experienced in Salmon/Steelhead fishing. We had a blast tiring out our arms on those chum, though it would have been nice to take home some silvers, but they were not in.
In Los Angeles- On Saturday the Oregon Ducks went down to USC and beat them 53-32, I watched the game with my homie up in Redmond Andy Freeman. The following day (Halloween, yet no hoax) The Ducks were ranked #1 in the BCS for the first time in school history. This Saturday the Ducks play the Huskies at Autzen and my Dad and I will be there! Sunday in Lake Oswego at 1:00 pm at Dale Haas' house we are doing a lunch, so feel free to come by! All are welcome.
If your still reading ill give you a dollar, so thanks! I am now 0-2 on trips to the DMV to get a new Washington Drivers License. Last week I drove 20 minutes there and realized they only take checks or cash, and today I drove there 20 minutes again, to find out they are closed on Mondays. Hmmm...perhaps I should check this stuff before driving 20 minutes. Third time is the charm ;)
Tight Lines and thanks for praying and caring -Andy-
I was tricking you about the dollar, happy belated halloween...bleeehhh!!!
Way to jump into Washington with both feet! The DOL up here is exactly like Oregon, a pain in the (insert expletive here).
