There is so much that I need to say and I am aware from a number of people as to my writing in one big paragraph and how that’s not very fun to read. So I will be trying space things out as most people have asked.
June 28th was a very nice day actually and a lot of things happened today. For example, I was able to go out and play basketball with the staff men. First of all, who ever knew that these guys could play ball!? A couple of guys have three kids and may be a few of the better ones out there! Anyhow, there happened to be an odd number of us that were out there playing so we picked up a guy named Jimmy. Now Jimmy was not some little guy, he was in reference to my best friend “ripped up like Rambo,” and there was some tension during a couple of points during the games. I was able to see though how to handle the situation maturely and calmly. Overall though the games were very fun I was making my threes as though I didn’t take a year off since MCS. After that I went and helped in making dinner and then we had our big meeting called Monday Night Live (MNL). It went very well and the worship was incredible as always, there was an opening skit that I was in called Good Idea Bad Idea, which showed the proper ways to ask girl on the creative dates that the guy rooms do with the girl rooms.
Once the meeting was over I had another meeting that I was to attend for the Servant Team leaders. There are several teams within the project that are in charge of different areas of the project, there is: Prayer, Outreach, Special Projects, Housing/Administration, Monday Meetings, and a Socials Team. I have been asked to co-lead the Monday meetings team and in doing ask all of you to pray for not only me and my team, but also for all of the leaders in other groups and that we may have a calm head and an open heart in our meetings.
I have been to almost all of the touristy spots in this area of California; by far San Francisco was my favorite of them all. The big city mixed with community all around within the city is just so much fun to walk around and see it work in everyday life. We went down to see Alcatraz, we weren’t able to go out onto it but we did see it from Pier 39 and it didn’t seem too far away. Which makes me think that those guys who escaped probably did make it across, or maybe not, I guess we’ll never know. We did a lot of walking through the city though and a lot of shopping as well. I must admit though that I did have a little spree on the discounts in GAP, but the deals were just so good!! A friend of mine got 8 shirts and 5 pants and other things.
Now it is July 7, 2010 and I was looking through my computer as I sit in the airport, waiting going back to Texas and the 100-degree weather. Well this is now truly the midway point and the staff has just left yesterday leaving 58 college students alone in California. Four of us have been placed as the Director and co-Director of the project with an assistant under both of those and then the other jobs of action group (bible study) leaders and the Servant teams as I have mentioned above. This is a very exciting and very scary time for all of us, we are the contacts and responsible for getting the speakers and staying in contact with boss’s and everything else to everyday life. Pray that all of those in a leadership positions and those who aren’t as well. Pray that there will be cool heads and kind words, respect and honesty with all of those on project, and strength and encouragement in the stressful times.
I would also like to ask of you that y’all would pray that I may be open in who I talk to and be able to allow the Holy Spirit to use me when I talk to these people. Continue praying for the project as a whole and for those on the job and that the Lord would put us all in situations that we may share Him with more and more daily.
Thank you very much for the read…..
