getting my feet wet

I started my new job/internship this week at Spring Arbor FMC. I'm administrative support for adult ministries, and also will be coordinating the college age portion of young adult ministries for my internship. It's been the typical first week with little productive activity and a whole lot of introductions, new information, computer setup, trying to find our office under all Dustin's stuff, meetings, etc. I am really excited about the possibilities for this next year, as we're looking at vision for young adults and as the church as a whole continues to shift its ministries to line up with Pastor Mark's vision. And there's such a big difference in how I feel just about getting up in the morning and coming to work (not that my last job was so horrible, just not what I was passionate about). I've been really appreciative of the warm welcome and all the help I've already gotten from the staff.

I've also been helping out with VBS this week at the Albion FMC -- ¡viva la fiesta!! It's been quite an experience, I am definitely not a big kid helper in general but it's overall been better than I first imagined. I am glad, however, it's the last night -- because it's been a long week!!

And right as I write, the Chile DREAM team is just getting back to town -- and boy am I excited!!

¡Adelante!
