Week #3 of the summer project includes more time of reflection, more camping and time to finally start actual work at my job...here is the recap at the things I did for the past week.
At this point of the project I think I'm starting to find my rhythm in the case of getting into a normal schedule and getting busy able to accomplish some goals set before the summer ends. Last Sunday, again church went well once again. The pastor (Gordon Mills) pick up right where he left off with putting on your armor for God. Mills mention that when putting on the armor you need protect yourself from arrows such as deception, accusation, full attack mode, and temptation. After that we ate at the Buck's and had seafood over at their place. I had some type of soup with King Crab, a few different types of salmon, potatoes, and onions. It was really, really good never much of a seafood person. But that was good. Monday following that I like the little message that Jason Coorts gave about there are 2 different types of men. In 1 Corinthians 15: 45-49 it talks about 2 different types of Adam. The first Adam was about sinning before God and then the second Adam is all about being a life giver...there is more to come about that topic.
For Manhood Development night we hiked all the way to Mendenhall Glacier and had the opportunity to do the activity out there. Looking at the Glacier from a distance it's a beautiful scene but looking at it from close range it's even amazing. Once we finally got up close to the Glacier we did our activity out there it's pretty much reflecting on what our lives would like after about 60+ years. The title of this week's post is pretty much about that. On basically how can you make an impact back at home, work with your co-workers, or your campus. While, I sat there looking at the glacier I thought to myself like my image would like after about 50 more years. I don't know quite yet but God will lead me to the path that he wants me to go instead making my own path by myself. So, going up to the Glacier was awesome.
Then, later on in the week me and about 9 other guys finally getting settled in to our summer jobs at this store called Fred Meyer. It's like a grocery store but it's more than that, it's kind of like a big mall. It's bigger than Wal-Mart way bigger. When through orientation and a few old videos, and of course sign paperwork. I will begin work finally on Tuesday finally making some money but at the same time having the opportunity to have a chance to get to know my co-workers.
Action Group night me, James, Cody, Steven, Kyle, and Mike had tacos and Apple pie. Then, we continued with our mini bible study of 1 Timothy Chapter 2-3:13. Which leads to Friday and service day. I went to Salvation Army to help sort clothes with my group that included Spencer, Robert, Chelsea, and Christina. We went there and did some work for about 3 hours then we ate as group and we ate at this pizzeria place which was pretty good. Later on in the evening my action group went out to Douglas Island to go camping for the night and we had a pretty good view of everything! All of the mountains, water, and the view of some of the crew ships was beautiful. We found a good spot on the camp site this time unlike the last time we found a not so good spot.
Saturday, after our group camped out til 10 in the morning we got back to the campus before our outreach night in the city. I paired up with Ann (one of the staff people on project) we had the chance to talk to a few people who were still in town because there was a music concert going on that night. Not a lot of people hanging out on the streets but we did have talk to a few people used the soularium cards. I'm still getting used to those cards and using it as a tool to used it for spiritual conversations, but I'm starting to get comfortable.
To wrap-up Saturday night, Vincent Hoppe (Big Daddy V) gave us a good talk and how God has a heart for all sinners. It was kind of relating to everything in the real world and that each person is created in God's image we are not perfect. We all need a heart for sinners just like Jesus did...talk to you guys again next week for more on my summer project.
Edward's Corner...
Finally able to start work this week is a big relief, so I can get in a rhythm and balance out my soon to be day to day busy schedule. I'm taking my time in get to know everyone on our project I'm not in a total hurry but I know all of the guys who are up here in Juneau and sharing our testimony with almost every guy on the trip was been good in our what's called soul-to-soul time where we talk about how we came to know Christ.
