Victoria's Secret

Hello everyone!! I thought I'd share the song that I've been listening to all week...


So I have a PRAISE!! I found a job! I work at Victoria's Secret! It's a seasonal position but they told us if they feel we have done an outstanding job during the season they might keep us on. I have worked 3 days so far and I am trying my best to work hard at whatever they give me. I "pushed" products on my first day of work and They told me they were impressed because they don't usually have new hires "push" products on their first day because they don't know where everything goes. "Pushing" means taking the new shipments and putting them on the sale floor in the correct place. I got some really great positive feed back on my first day. I really like working at Victoria's Secret! Hopefully I'll get to keep the job! I'm still working at Home Instead so I"m working 2 jobs. I know I am going to be so busy.


I thought I wouldn't be able to make it back home for Thanksgiving but it turns out I have enough money now and I will be driving down to Hatch for the day and driving back home the same day since I have to work at VS for Black Friday. Other than that not too much has happened. I got a new tire for my car. I also baked cookies and took them to work (VS) and everyone loved them. My parents came and stayed for a few days at the beginning of November. That was nice! My friend Katie has been going to church with me. I keep inviting her to my bible study but she's been busy during that tame.

PRAYER REQUESTS:
* Please pray that I would be able to keep my job at Victoria's Secret.
*Please pray for safe travels on Thanksgiving.
*Pray that Katie would be able to make it to the bible study and continue to go to church with me.
*Please pray that my needs would continue to be met.

Thanks for the prayers everyone!!

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving full of food and family!! I love you all!

Another day in Duke City

Hello all! I’m enjoying a glass of orange juice at the Frontier Restaurant while I am writing this. Last week was a rough one. I had to take my dog into the animal hospital which ended up costing my most of my pay check. The next day I got a flat tire from driving on a road I was unfamiliar with and running over something that should have had a bright flag or bole on it. I found out that would cost me $170 that I didn’t have. The day after that I injured my foot which put me back on training for a 5k run. The next day was okay nothing happened really. But the day after that I ran out of gas and had no choice but to put my last $5 in my car. That’s supposed to last me to the 10th when I get paid.

My dog Wicket!

My dog is fine! I did find a tire for less than $170 but I didn’t have the money to buy it. I will when I get paid. A friend from class gave me $5 for gas. I’m still working at Home Instead. I have an interview on Thursday and I still haven’t heard from the Assisted Living Center I interviewed with a few weeks ago.

I have an interview as a final in my Spanish class. I’ve been trying to practice for that but it’s not really working. I’m so burnt out on finding a job, working, school, and trying to study that It all just doesn’t make sense anymore. There are also labs that I have to do online but the website keeps telling me it doesn’t recognize my username and password. When I contact the technical support they send an email with the same username and password that it doesn’t recognize. I told the instructor but I haven’t heard anything back from him yet. This is all due at the end of the semester (a month left).

There is a girl who just moved up to Albuquerque from Las Cruces. I went to high school with her. I got a hold of her because she has made a comment on my status about wanting to go to church. She did she said she really liked my church. She has only gone once. I’ve also invited her to the bible study I go to. She hasn’t come to that yet. I’m really hopeful. Also I am officially a member at Sagebrush Community Church. I’m really happy about this. It’s a great church and they’re doing some great things in the community!


This is my church Sagebrush Community Church

Prayer Requests
* Please pray that God will open up opportunities for me so I’ll be able to make ends meet!
* Please pray that I’ll absorb all the information I need to know for my Spanish final and that I’ll be able to get online and finish my Lab work!
* Please pray for My friend that God will speak to her through me and through the church services!

Thanks for the prayers and until next time God bless!!
