My first weekend working support services went very well. It is surprising how much fun you can have cleaning toilets, mopping floors, and picking up after messy campers if you have the mindset that you are doing it to bring glory to God. It’s funny to think that something as insignificant as cleaning can be used to praise God.
This week we have been training on how to use the snowboard run, tube run, and referee broom hockey. So if any of you want to visit I can take you on any of those!
Our speaker this week was a man by the name of Dave Hanson, president of Student International. Student international is a ministry in developing countries, using college students who want to join a short term ministry team; we will be working with SI in the Dominican Republic. Dave discussed missions, and why we are called to do missions and reach out to the poor. Yet, what I enjoyed the most was how he said that not all missions is going oversees; granted some are called to go to foreign lands, however it is necessary that people remain in the states to support, get college degrees, and even use those college degrees for missions later on. God will use you where you are at, as long as you emulate Christ in everything you do. This encouraged me because I feel the desire to go oversees while I am still young and minister to those less fortunate than I; yet I still want to go to college and get the degree I want.
I have just applied to Moody Bible Institute in Spokane, WA, and San Diego Christian College to study aviation. Both have fairly prestigious aviation programs, however Moody doesn’t cost as much, and seems to be a little better schooling. I am leaving it up to God, and wherever I get accepted is most likely where I will go. All of your prayer would be really appreciated since this will be the second most important decision I have ever made.
Tonight we had another themed dinner: Joshua 50 year reunion. It was a very fun night, full of apple sauce, prune juice, and bunko. Needless to say, I felt very much like grandpa… Just look at the pictures…
