Hmm, well it seems as though I have not been very diligent about keeping people updated. You can see below that my schedule is pretty full, but I apologize for not doing a better job keeping in touch with everyone. Now that we have the first outreach (2 week mission trip) down, I should have a little more free time as I don’t need to take the time to learn everything and not all of the events are still mandatory.
This outreach went very well. We had a great group of college students from InterVaristy Boston, InterVarsity Canada, Grove City College, and Tulane University. I don’t have anything to compare them too, but all of the full time staff seem to think they were a lot more mature than perhaps many of the high school groups that come through. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see until Monday when the next crew arrives :)
I am working in a preschool classroom at a school for special needs kids. We’re working on shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. It’s pretty fun – I feel like I have a solid handle on these concepts :) We also try to teach the kids some basic living skills like dressing themselves, going to the bathroom, and changing their clothes.
These updates here (this one and the two below) have been rather factual, and therefore probably not extremely interesting. Peruse them as you are interested, if you are curious in what I am doing. Hopefully I will add some stories here shortly that will be a bit more interesting. Also, if you are interested, I occasionally post “articles” on my other blog (see the link on the right) that are not so much what I am doing and more what I am thinking about. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to navigate having two blogs and how much to keep them separate or not. Thanks for checking in and I hope you are having a fantastic summer, wherever you are! Love you!
Prayer Requests:
- Praise God for how well all of us interns seem to be getting along and that we work well together
- Praise God for a wonderful first outreach
- Angie, the teacher in my classroom, is needing a visa to participate in an English program in Utah that would be really cool for her. However, if she gets the visa, she would leave, making me in charge of the classroom…so just pray that God’s will be done :)
- Safe travel for the groups arriving on Monday
- That the gospel is proclaimed
