Hey Folks! I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth… Nor have I left for Brasil. Back in about February, I came to a critical moment. I had to decide whether or not I was going to buy a plane ticket or not. For several reasons, I decided to stay here in Groton. I didn’t think I would be effective in Brasil the way things were going. And here in Groton, the several women in the church were praying for God’s will… to be that I stay. :-) There is some ministry work that I can do for this congregation while I’m here. I plan to stay for a couple of years, being a “candle” on the Subase, and working with young adults in our church. Working here in New England I think will give me experience in small church work as an adult (granted I’ve got an “in” since Dad’s the preacher!), as well as living in a non-Bible-Belt culture. So far so good! My realm of influence thus far is pretty much on the Subase, but I’m looking for ways to expand that. I have been able to save a good bit living with Mom and Dad, but I’m hoping to move in to an apartment in a few months. I am looking and praying for a full time job! I thoroughly enjoy working at the Flower Shop, but I need to make a bit more to move out! ;-)
Ok, now that I’ve given you that update, the next post is everything I’ve been up to since I decided to stay… :-)
