Well I am definitely overdue this time.
My summer was pretty good... I spent up until June 16th in Waukesha working at KC's Driving School before going to L.A. for the S.T.E.P program. The S.T.E.P program is a program that allows young people the opportunity of working with Latino kids at various apartment complexes in the greater Los Angeles area. It focuses on personal spiritual growth as well as the VBS with the kids. It is hosted by the believers of Westminster Bible Chaple, who hosted those of us on the team in their own homes for the entire week and a half. They were truly a blessing! Our time at the apartments consisted of us doing games, songs, skits, Bible stories, and small groups with the kids. What a neat time! At the same time, it is sad, because even though Catholicism has such a dominating presence there, many of the kids had never even heard of the Bible, or Adam and Eve...
It was really impressed upon me the huge responsibility we had during this opportunity. I really knew we had to give them solid truth that they could understand regarding sin, it's punishment, Christ's work on the cross, belief, and repentance. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and evangelism.
I then went home for about a month, and had absolutely no work lined out. God, however, dropped more work on me than I could accept! I worked for a mason/bricklayer for 2 and a half weeks, and that was a real blessing! I also had a few side jobs cutting brush and installing some crown moulding for the neighbors which helped as well.
A big thing this summer is all of the people I have been able to connect and reconnect with this summer! Wow. It truly has been amazing. I know I have been brief, but I can't be up all night typing!
Anyway, I fly out late tomorrow, and will arrive early Tuesday morning back in Wisconsin. Leadership training will start on the 6th, and classes begin on the 20th! I will be an RA this year, and I will also be taking Greek in addition to all my other classes. Needless to say, I will be really busy... really busy.
More later!
