Days Gone By

     The Ethos cadre was a huge success. I got to pray with a few of the youth pastors, and they all told me how they were so glad they came, and how what Jeanne had taught them will be remembered for years to come. It was so exciting to see how happy and filled they were! We have a 2nd year cadre, Opus, coming next week. Pastor Mike will be flying in for that one! I'm so excited to see him. To be a part of something that is going to strengthen and help my youth pastor is such a rare opportunity, and I just cannot wait!


     On Wednesday, I found out that I made the worship team! I didn't blog about trying out simply because I wasn't sure if it was really God calling me to try out, or just a silly thought. But I do believe he put me on the team for a reason, and I'm so glad I obeyed him! He has my life in control, and I would be silly to just ignore him and think I can figure things out for myself. I will let you know how it goes, I can't wait to get started!


     On Friday we had a dodgeball game with the entire first year class. There was a black and white team, I was on the black team, and of course we won! It was SO much fun, we all had so much team spirit. I love how close we are as a class already... I can tell the friends I'm making will be for a lifetime. I don't know what else to say but that I love the atmosphere here!


     Today we had church, and we got a chance to serve at the womens fun night tonight. At the end, the hostess played "we are family" and then some women started a conga line! So picture me, singing and dancing to that song, in a conga line full of black women doing the same! I must say it was really fun, and not soon to be forgotten! The women here are so friendly and funny, I love seeing them at church each week. They are like mothers to all the first years, its so sweet!


     I'll leave you with a few pictures: first, Danielle and I before our dodgball game, and second, our dodgeball team. This weekend we have our fall retreat, and then right after the 2nd year cadre; I'll let you know how it goes!
