Hey, John here. So...blogging. Something I haven't really ever done. Not exactly sure what one does do with things like this. Well...I'll guess I'll run through how the week's been.
We had an awesome retreat at a lake house in Raintree, MO. There was awesome food, we got to know our sweet team, and prepared a lot spiritually with Joey Butler, a pastor from Blue Springs. He definitely helped us all unite, and just have a good time together. We kayaked, ping-ponged, ate good food, watched Slumdog Millionare...good movie. We watched the movie UP on a staff trip two days ago in Jamaica. Also a splendid movie...squirrel! Besides that, had a long day of travel Sunday, then just been settling in here. Ironically, I've been reading James...and Joshua and Revelation. Had some really solid times with God in the morning getting our "top button right." I'm also reading Bravehearted Gospel...sweet book.
Ohhh yea, and I found out I'm the worksite supervisor. I would've been cool with whatever they/God chose, but was definitely hoping yet not trying to get my hopes up for that job. I'll mainly be helping figure out where kids go each day, and working with the Jamaicans in getting all the materials, tools, and jobs figured out each day. Still trying to figure out a Jamaican to mentor as well. Mainly just been organizing stuff in our work building, and doing other random jobs around the house to clean and prepare. I've gotten to know and catch up with some Jamaicans....but definitely looking forward to meeting more and growing deeper relationships with them. Pray for me to have the guts to share truth with them.
Anyway, I think God definitely has great things in store for the summer. First group got down today...seem like some awesome people. Played some spades tonight...Yep...this is probably really boring to read. I'll try to make it more interesting next time...maybe throw in a joke or riddle. I hope everyone's doing well and thanks for all your support!
