I have arrived

So far it has been pretty awesome here in good ol' Vermont. I met my team leader Dennis, and he seems to be a really cool guy. I am really excited about getting to know him better over the summer. I just played a game of ping pong and showed the east coast how AZ pings it up.

The verse which the program is based around is Psalm 86:11

Teach me your way, O lord, and I will walk in your truth.
give me an undivided heart, that I might fear your name.

I am really desiring God to teach me his way because he knows what is best for me. I am just a foolish and sinful human who thinks he knows what is best.

Apparently it is a big deal that I already had a job before I got here. Which means that my first week will be pretty chill because I won't have to look for a job though I do plan on searching for a second job so I would be able to get a full 40 hrs a week. Starbucks will only be able to offer me 25-30 a week.

I actually checked out the starbucks where I will be working. It is walkable which is Saaweet! It is also only a cafe store meaning NO drive through. They were also pretty busy when I went in which is also cool. I don't really like lounging around for to long doing nothing.

Well I better get back to hanging out. So many people to meet and so many names to remember. I have already had to ask one woman for her name three times, weak sauce.

P.S. The flight here was really smooth. Thanks to those of you who were praying.

Day of Departure

Good morning,

I will be leaving today for Vermont at 11pm and arriving at 930am in Burlington. I am really excited for my trip and for what God has in store.

Things that you could be praying for:
- The ability to form strong male relationships quickly.
- A safe journey.
- The ability to trust in God's will in my life regardless of circumstance.

Thanks for praying. Catch you guys later.

-Jon
