Day 3

I'd really love to spend hours blogging about my whole day, because each and every day has been eventful and inspiring. Unfortunately there's almost no free time right now especially for those who are still in search for jobs (me included). Today, me and 4 others drove out searching for jobs. We picked up several applications, but most businesses didn't seem to be hiring. One of the girls with us (Brittany) got a call while we were out driving. She was offered a job over the phone, and we excitedly congratulated her. A lot of us have been successful over the last couple of days but there is still a large handful (again including myself) who have not been very successful. We've been praying about it heavily, and those who have gotten jobs have even stepped up to help those who haven't. Each and every day we become closer and our fellowship together becomes stronger. The last part of our day was choosing a ministry team... Just for a little background, there are three sets of groups:


1. Small group - Small group consists of 4-5. Each is led by a student leader who disciples us and helps us out with anything.
2. Life group - There are 4 churches that we work with during this trip. Eventually we will find ways to help be a part of the church, as well as giving our testimony during a service. Our life groups meet on wednesdays and sundays
3. Ministry team - There are about 5-6 ministry teams, each with an important purpose and goal. I decided to put my skills and interests to the test in the Stewardship Ministry team. This team is in charge of financial stuff along with housekeeping/stewardship. Historically, this team is the most unfavorable team to join, however, it is considered the "glue" of the project. This team helps keep things working smoothly and keeps a system of checks and balances throughout the project. Only 3 of us chose this. We worked together to establish some housekeeping rules.


*The girls are struggling with their AC unit. I fixed it for them, but when I came back it was broken again. While running some tests for them, the power on one side of the wall went out. We eventually fixed it for them, and I am waiting for tmrw to fix their AC yet again. Unfortunately until then, they are either going to be very hot or very cold.


**I meant to mention this last night, but Michael Frey (Director) spoke on a few key points using the exact verse that I was dwelling on during the first day (1 John 9:1). Awesome right?
