Five weeks are in the books and we are actually closing in on the midway point. If project ended this week, I could tell a ton of stories. Here a recap of a busy week and an awesome camping trip...
Had a chance to work a full week at Freddie's this past week. There really hasn't been any co-workers that are working on shift but I'm still getting to know and I'm beginning to know their names. On the flip side, I'm getting to the members who are on project (guys) a lot better, had a good conversation with one of them the other day and it was pretty good. Me and him talked about what got us to Juneau and other things so it was good practice. As for the week in general, last Sunday went to Glacier Valley then we had a choice afterwards to eat back on campus or in town because our friends who cooks lunch for us isn't won't be back for a while but the food after church has really good. Monday night we had our usual group session and we had the opportunity to ask questions to the female panel about how to treat women the right way if you know what I'm talking about. The questions were about things like respecting ladies, marriage, etc. I felt like I got something out of the meeting; there's is something new I learn everyday whether your single or in a relationship you can apply it to real life. Tuesday night meeting we did a group activity where there was about 5 or 6 groups those groups became countries such as USA, China, Middle East just some of the places that were involved and we had to break people in and out of the countries and try to at least bring them to the US. The bread was one of the key factors in that; once you had the bread in possession you can leave the country your in...I was part of the China group I actually did leave the country. The point of the activity was that the gospel isn't available to everyone around the world, countries (some) have different rules that you have to go by. Some people won't be able to leave the countries, but there are people who are called to do mission work and spread the gospel.
Wednesday, after our weekly meeting we had a little dance party for our CRU and that was a lot of fun. I had a chance to show a little bit of skills; coming from me I don't dance to often, lol. Thursday, during "Man Time" we listen to a little sermon by Tim Keller about singleness and marriage. This sermon really open my eyes to what singleness or being married really means. One of the main point brought up in the discussion was independence giving up that part to becoming one with someone you love. This past weekend, I took part in an epic camping trip full of just relaxing and hanging out with my fellow guys from project. The weekend was more about really getting a chance to fish for most of the guys. I never did any fishing before in my life and Saturday I had a chance to fish and at the same time ride on a boat for the 1st time as well. I have broken a lot of barriers on this trip overcoming fears things like that, it's been a lot of fun. Water and I don't get along but riding on the water was awesome on the other side I didn't catch any fish but I caught some crab Saturday night. One of the crabs pinch me, it kind of hurt but at I though that he was going to rip my skin off while trying to get the crab off the back off my hand! Sunday, I went whale watching with a guy named Graig and some of my buddys Cody, Trey, and Brady. We saw a whale breach from water to midair...he lifted his ENTIRE body off the water it was eye opening. Being on water was pretty good I spent half the weekend on water not on that it was deep sea that was something else. The trip was just wonderful in general and I had the chance to share my thoughts with the guys on why I came up to Juneau this summer.
Edward's Corner: The title that is on top was change to This ain't no beach project because it was something that I started (it was said from my mouth) earlier in project. My action group was talking about how some of the guys are chillin with the ladies on project and I said "This ain't no beach project, dawg!" Everyone started to laugh and since then everybody is saying it. It's pretty good to start something that everyone follow...it's been the motto on this trip, lol...if your wondering if I'm taking any pictures; I have! Tons, I will upload them when I go home. Talk to you guys next week!
