A Relatively Quick Update

Just to let you guys know I'm still alive...
The past two weeks have been good, but there's not a lot to share about them. This past week was Faith & Finances, where we talked a lot about the importance of having a support team and how God really provides for our financial needs when we're doing what He's called us to do. Which applies to everyone that supports me financially and through prayer (hopefully all of you reading this :) ). The week before that, our base director David Clark spoke on Our Purpose In God's Plan. Which when David speaks, it's kind of just about anything and everything. I do like when he speaks though because he really enjoys/allows discussion and questions, even challenging ones. So we talked a lot about creation and the end of the world... It was interesting to say the least.

This weekend we're also having our second MA (Mission Adventures) training! This one is a bit less stressful because I know now what to expect and what's expected of me, so I've been more comfortable hanging out with some of the students and even have done some translating (from Spanish to English) for groups when Monica -one of the SOMD students with me- was speaking. I've never translated in a formal setting before, just kind of back and forth between a few people, so that was intimidating but also really exciting and people tell me it's good practice for the future :).

That's pretty much all I can write about for now, I really need to get to work on my book report for the week... We have a book report due every Monday morning and usually I'm so busy I don't get started on it till the weekend. Which makes things kind of crazy during MA weekends, but thankfully I was somewhat responsible and started reading a couple days ago. Turns out I'm becoming an adult or something because I don't procrastinate as much anymore and I even make my bed and keep my stuff clean without anyone having to tell me. It's in the rules that we need to keep our rooms clean and beds made, but I didn't care very much during DTS, so it's like I'm really growing up or something. Ew.
