So I have finally been doing what I have been planning and preparing for since December this past week. I can't lie and say that it has been the best time of my life, but overall it has been a great experience so far. The work I have to do and the people I work with are wonderful, its just been myself that has gotten in the way of having the "best" experience. The adjusting to a new life style change and different surrounding just hasn't been my favorite part. I am doing a lot better thanks to Jesus and everybody's prayers. I was just at first feeling inadequate and worthless at this job, because I wasn't seeing how this was going to benefit me in anyway, which shouldn't matter cause its not about me. But these were just negative doubts that were being hurled at me from the lil annoying devil. And it didn't help that I was homesick, so basically I've been dealing with culture shock this past week. However throughout this week, I've talked to people that work with LEAD and it has given me motivation to continue with my work. I always do better when I'm busy with something, that way its not just me and my thoughts eating away at my soul.
THE WORK! So basically I just do what my supervisor tells me to do. He has given me a few projects to do like uploading a gazillion pictures to flickr and formatting curriculum vitae's and then me and Mariah have to both figure out how to organize/set up their library. So throughout the day we work on these projects while also having meetings that informed us more about LEAD and we also met with different people that worked in our office and other individuals with LEAD. While also on Tuesday's and Thursday's we attend our online internship classes of leadership training and faith and culture class thing. This week though we got the privilege to take off work on Wednesday and go to DC so that was fun. It was a great week over all though. I still really don't know why I'm here, but I know this is where Jesus wants me, so I will attempt to do His work.
