Hello All!
This is John. It’s pretty late and I’m tired, but it’s my turn to blog so here we go! I know we say this about every group (and it’s always true), but the group from Hope Lutheran has been really awesome. They’ve worked really hard, and really loved on the Jamaicans a ton. We built a house for Lisa and getting to spend more time with her family was really a blessing. Over the last few weeks the Henry family has really blessed me a ton. From messing around with the kids, having some awesome conversations with Lisa and her parents, to getting cornrows, I really enjoyed the time. They came to courtyard tonight which was really cool (If any Louden/Wesley people are reading this, Lisa said thanks to you guys and I gave her the names of all you who helped build the foundation). So yea, It was a busy week, but I finally feel like I’m getting pretty adjusted to the schedule and my place here in Harmons. I finally know the majority of the people who come around the Harmony House, and I’ve gotten go deeper a lot with some of the workers, my mento, and a lot of other friends. Even though I’m getting excited for my next semester in of college, there’s no way I’m going to want to leave.
Besides the group, there are a couple other people who came down that I’ve gotten to know such as Debo, the Belts, and Jim. Hanging out and talking with Debo has been quite fun, as well as Jim and Jeanette. Life is definitely hectic, but I’m still learning to rest in God and he will fill me up to get through the day. Oh yea, did I mention the retreat was awesome? Definitely needed to get some relaxation time and it was a good time to refocus personally and as a staff. Oh yea, did I mention the rest of the staff’s awesome? Well they are. I’m really proud of them and they’re really good at their job and fit well into that role.
Yea, So I don’t know what else you guys would want to hear about. Hung out with Tarraine, a Jamaican I’m mentoring yesterday, and got to go to meals on heels at Judith’s that night which was sweet. I had a really good time talking to and working with Ganga today, as usual. Played some soccer in the field, then had all the Friday night activities. Overall, a great week and I’m looking forward to the next group of 50ish people. Hope everyone is doing well.
