Oh October!

Wow, if you really think about it now, this year has kind of flown by it seems. I know there was definitely some slow months but I think the year has flown by.

I'm learning to trust in God and to place all my faith in Him because all things are possible through Him!

Life has been crazy busy but I still manage to keep things interesting it seems. I do not know where I should start since it has been a couple weeks.

I'll start with my full time job. It has been going well, definitely an interesting position to hold because you'll never know what each night will hold in store for you. From weird guests, to random requests, to a mix up of rooms and other funny situations, it all can be oh so interesting! This job has been an awesome learning experience for me and definitely has given me more insight as to how a hotel runs. I do not think I'll be wanting a full time job to balance with the rest of my current life's schedule for the time being (haha). I'll be finishing this job on November 15th as finals will be taking place the following week and then the next trimester of school will start. I will have an internship at a hotel next trimester. My school is very specific on where I can do it at and I have an interview for it this Friday so that is definitely going to be interesting and I will be looking forward to learning more things! However the internship will contain a crazy schedule which will prohibit me from keeping a steady job which definitely has its downfalls.

Next, my part time job is at an elementary school. I supervise fellow college students that are doing community service hours and make sure they are staying on task. I do it in 2 programs, Globetrotters and a leadership one. The leadership one is to help 5th graders transistion from elementary school to middle school by learning how to deal with situations etc. The Globetrotters one is dealing with 3rd graders and there is 4 group of international college students that teach the elementary students about their home countries. It's all very fascinating.

School is going ok. I have no really exciting classes this trimester, just a bunch of boring ones that require lots of busy work which can make life entertaining.

Church is going well, I'm enjoying the college aged group and I think it is going to be a fun year! I have regular church Sunday mornings, a new Sunday evening short study, Tuesday night college aged group, and Thursday night Bible study. Yes, I know that seems like a lot of church but in this world out here, you need all the loving of Jesus you can get and all the fellowship and support of Christian brothers and sisters.

My living situation is going pretty well. We are all getting used to each other of course and all our crazy quirks and what not. We established chore schedules and actually maintain a pretty clean household a majority of the time. I love my roomies and they mean a lot to me and definitely help me out in this crazy world! I'm so happy I have their support!

I have an amazing group of friends in my life as well that are Christians and great to be around. Any night with them is almost guaranteed to be a wild (in a good way haha) and fun night. This weekend, we all went to see the movie, Fireproof, and then had dinner together afterwards. The movie, despite its low budget, was great and I definitely recommend it.

I think that is it for now! Can't wait to see what God has in store for me this week!
