FRIENDS! I love hearing from you...well a little late, but just finally checked this out for the first time last week. Sounds like things are going well in the life of the ladies of 205. I had a fantastic summer as a newlywed. worked with community kids through the church in Benton Harbor MI, was a counselor for a week of JR High church camp, led a mission trip to cote d'ivoire in west africa, got to go backpacking in the UP of MI and hit up a cubs game with molly...all in all, it was great. into the 3rd week of school now and truckin along. I've had this epiphany this semester that what i'm learning and doing here in school actually has relevance in my future and current work in the church, like planning worship services, pastoral care for home visits, preaching...I think i've decided that in the near future I will pursue and MSW as well. I've gotten to do a bunch of house visits with the kids we work with in MI and have started doing one on one visits with their parents, just to get to know the moms and see how we can work together to get them to church and if there's any way the church can be a supportive community. its pretty scary but exciting work. keep posting and i'll keep checking! love hearing from you all!
