The first week of work was awesome! I was working in the steel piping section at Piper Fireproofing Inc. and learned some cool stuff while I was there. I also got to do some stuff that gets assigned to new workers such as cleaning the storage room and taking apart old fire extinguishers. I'm working 40 hour work weeks while I'm down here for the rest of the summer starting at 7 am, so I'll be up with the beautiful sun.
This past weekend I was in a group that took part in volleyball outreach on the beach. We played a couple games with a group of five young adults there and were able to share our faith with them through that experience. It was also a big learning experience for me because I got nervous when I had to transition from talking about sports to talking about Jesus. I saw the confidence in one of our staff members who was there with me and it was very encouraging.
I'm also a part of the Prayer and Vision team here and I help plan the meetings on Sundays and think of inventive ways to initiate prayer throughout the summer. This is exciting for me and I love to be a part of this team. It's helping me to grow in my leadership and in my walk with the Father at the same time.
Last night, we also watched Tangled! I absolutely love Disney movies and I really enjoyed hanging out with some other students down here and relax to a great movie and enjoy a little time off.
I do have some prayer requests for our Project while we are here if you would like to help support us through prayer. Ask that the Lord continues to gives us more confidence and strength in talking to others about Christ and to be bold initiating conversations about our faith. I also ask that you pray for our walks with Jesus while we're here and that we can continue to grow in our faith. Pray that the Lord speaks through us in our conversations and our actions so we can bring more people to the family of Christ this week. Thanks so much :)
