No Left Turns

"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever- The Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you." John 14:16-17

I can hardly believe that I have only been here for almost three weeks. The way I have gotten to know these awesome people amazes me because I feel like I have known them my whole life, yet it has been such a short time. These past couple of weeks have been busy with my work schedule and I had my first day off last Saturday. Since it was the weekend, everyone had to work, so I enjoyed my day by relaxing by the beach right by myself. Once Kaitlin got off work, we went and rode rides! It was one of the funniest things I have ever experienced considering she is not a fan of roller coasters. Haha

One of the things I really look forward to each week is MNL (Monday Night Live), and it is like our “crusade” for the project. The whole project goes to a church and we have praise and worship, games, testimony sharing, and then a message. This is a great opportunity for us to invite co-workers, and I was SO excited when my sweet friend/co-worker, Riley, wanted to come on Monday. She is such a fun girl, with a great personality, and I loved working with her and I hope I get to a lot more during these next 8 weeks!

On Wednesday the women on project were serenaded by the guys and each given a rose, it was so sweet! Then we were treated to a candlelight dinner for just the ladies! It honestly was so fun and girly, and nice to get away for girl time. I love all of these wonderful ladies and am so thankful to be serving along with them here, they are such a blessing to me!

I was so excited to have a week day off from work this week and was determined to find other people that were off the same day as me, so I could plan a trip somewhere! So I found 12 people that had Thursday off and we started planning. I decided it would be fun to go to San Francisco for the day, so we rented three cars that could transport all of us. As silly as this may sound, I really felt like a true adult being able to rent a car. haha! Anyways we had a blast and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. We were able to see the Golden Gate Bridge, ride the Lombard Road, and spend some time at Pier 39. It has been one of the best days so far, and I can’t wait to do it again soon. I laughed so much and just enjoyed being around my friends in such a neat city.

We have a big event on Saturday that we are hoping to have a lot of co-workers and people we have met come to, so please pray that this opens an opportunity to share the gospel. Please also pray for me as I will be sharing my testimony at MNL this Monday, and that the Lord will speak through me! Thank you for praying for me, I have seen so faithfully many prayers being answered.

Soli Deo Gloria.
