First Work Week!

This was my first week of actually working in the office, and may I just say I respect adults so much more now!!! We all struggled with getting up "early" and working straight from 8-5. We're so used to going to classes and then hanging out in our dorm and then back to class etc. At the end of a continuous day of work all we wanted was a nap haha : ) By the end of the week I was mostly used to the schedule and was having lots of fun taking pictures! My current assignment is to take product photos for the gift shop that's in the Wycliffe visitor's center. These photos will go online and will hopefully help sell more products and in turn help further Wycliffe's ministry! Many of the products sold there are hand made in countries where Wycliffe is currently doing translation, which is really cool! Here are some example of things I've been taking pictures of:

On Wednesday nights, different Wycliffe members have signed up to host us interns for dinner. This is such a great opportunity for us to meet people from all walks of life who work for Wycliffe. Last Wednesday, David and Carol Conner hosted us for supper. After some sloppy joes and homemade potato salad, they took us for a walk around Saint Cloud, which was absolutely gorgeous at sunset. Take a look:

We also grabbed the opportunity to get some group photos:

From Left to Right: Erin, Jordan, Stella, Josiah, me!

We also saw a rainbow at their house!

On Fridays or Saturdays, we get to go out into the community with the intern staff for "Community Fun Day"! This Saturday we went to Ponce de Leon springs about an hour and a half away. These springs were once thought to be the Fountain of Youth. We shall see : )

There is a restaurant there called the Old Sugar Mill which is famous for it's pancakes. Each table has it's own griddle and they bring you delicious batter and toppings and you get to make your own : ) When we got there, the wait was 3 hours (!) so we hiked around for a bit and the swam in the spring. The temperature is 72 degrees year round and felt great compared to the muggy, hot air : )

 We saw lots of wildlife on our hike!

 Some pancakes I made, Pac-Man style : )

I made lots of baby chocolate chip pancakes. They were awesome!


So, I am definitely settled in and having lots of fun! Please keep praying for my finances, as I am still lacking quite a bit. Also, please pray that I would excel at my work, and do it for God's glory!
Thanks for your continued support!
