I have been here for a whole month today

So I finally have a little bit of time to write on this. It's been crazyyyy busy.
This is my weekly schedule:

Monday- We work all day, come back for dinner, and then at 8 we have Monday Night Live which is just like a Campus Crusade meeting. After that, we all go to Marianne's for ice cream! Curfew is at 11:30 Monday-Wednesday and Saturday and Sunday

Tuesday- We wake up and have reflection time in the morning which is just free time we get to work on whatever we need to work on. In our bible study, we are going through Experiencing Christ Within by Dwight Edwards, so usually we will all work on that for the week. After reflection time, we have lunch, and then a free afternoon to do laundry, clean, meet with our discipler. Then we all work night shifts which is usually 5:30-12:30 for me. It varies a little for everyone.

Wednesday- We work all day, come back for dinner, and then we have our Action Groups, or our bible study, from 8-10. I loveeeee my action group. I live with 2 of the girls and then the other 3 live beside us in the next room. Our leader is such a blessing too so I have really enjoyed that time and digging into God's Word.

Thursday- We work all day, but then have free night! yay. So we do dinner on our own and go do something fun. Curfew is till 1 am on Thursday and Friday nights.

Friday- We have a training classes for ministry on how to lead bible study, disciple, or anything that involves getting stuff started with Crusade and then eat lunch at the Pan. Then we have whatever we wanna do during the afternoons and work that night. After next week, that morning will open because all the staff leaves on July 9. The staff passed down their leadership positions to the students here to lead. It's going to be so awesome.

Saturday- We work all day and then come back for dinner here and then have some sort of outreach that night. Last week we had a luau party and invited all of our co-workers. The weeks before we did outreach on the beach or downtown by just walking up to people and talking to them about who God is.

Sunday- We all go to our churches we were assigned to go to, then after the service we all serve in the church someway. I am in the nursery which has helped me with my servant's heart. We have lunch on our own (but usually I come back here and eat leftovers) and then we will have random ministry things planned in the afternoon or just have free time. At night dinner is also on your own and then we have committee meetings. Everyone on project was split into a committee. I am on the prayer committee so we lead different prayer meetings, prayer events, devotions or anything consisting of that. There are other comittees such as outreach, social, house management, monday meetings, etc.

And then I always get one of those days off from work. Last week I had off thursday so I laid out, read, went to the store, and just had some down time.

Summer Project has been so awesome. I live with 62 students, work, and get to share about God's love to everyone I encounter. It has also been a struggle though because it's hard living this far from home and being so busy and around people constantly. I have been sick for a while but God is healing me. I have to continue to seek the Lord and keep my eyes on him or else I fall or fail. I am learning so so much and building awesome friendships with everyone here, even though I miss everyone at home. I gotta work soon so I will write again when I can :)

Much love,
Allison
