I wrote out the previous post yesterday and have been arguing with my computer about including pictures in it. I decided to go ahead and post while I work on winning the argument.


I'm here. It's been three days and I haven't been put to work yet, but that changes in 2 1/2 hours. I spent most of Monday unpacking and exploring the area - it is really beautiful up here, but you'll see that when the pictures go up. I've also been getting to know my roommates - Alex and Christine. They are both incredibly welcoming and I will be working with them, especially Christine, closely over the next year.


The director of the centre is Barbara Andrews. She and I were able to sit down and talk about the next year might look like. For the next couple of months I'm going to be working in different capacities around the centre. For example, in two and half hours I will spend my first shift in the kitchen. I will also be going to different Synod meetings (which is like Convention) and be introduced to the different dioceses. I am actually being sponsored by the entire Province here and not one specific diocese. What that means is that hopefully I will be moving around a good deal and experiencing different things. When Spring comes along I will permantly be here at the Centre doing the children's and youth ministry for the summer.

I will be using this year as a discernment for what my next step in life will be. Barbara is very excited in assisting with that, so there is some great potential here. Well I'm off now, I will try and post again this evening.

Peace.
