Soon to Depart

I still can not believe that I deleted all of the old website. It might not sound like that big of a deal, but I spent many a late night working on it. I am a bonehead.

I leave tomorrow for Rosebud, South Dakota for a mission trip with my youth group. It is a week long, and we are running a Vacation Bible School (”VBS” in church jargon) for the Native American youth. We aren’t quite sure how anything will go because we are the first group to do anything like this in the town that we are going to. Many other groups have been to Rosebud, but none to this particular town. I am looking forward to it… I told the members of my youth group that I am positive the week will go nothing like we expect it to, but that’s okay - and it is to be expected. God will work through us despite our shortcomings.

It is now nearly a month into the summer. I can’t express how much I love my internship. I love the people I work for and with, I love getting to know and hanging out with the students, I love being home for an extended period of time, I love being with my family, I love this church, I love everything about it. I was telling my mom last night that as a bonus to all of the things that I love about the job, it is excellent for my career. I am establishing contacts and relationships that will undoubtedly help me in finding a job when I graduate. W00t.

I’ll be sure to post pictures and write about my trip to Rosebud sometime after I return, which is on the 25th.
