OutReach Week

These past few weeks that I have not posted have been busy.
Last week was a good week. Had some really good talks at the beginning of the week. Visited Sarah for about 1/2 hour. Then, went to San Juan and San Clementine for an Outreach Week. My RA was co-leading the group, and it was really nice to have a week of ministry getting to hang with him, and to get the opportunity to get to know some others better. We helped serve Crossroads church in a couple ways. We helped host an Octoberfest, with pie and chili cookoffs, and a talent show, to reach out to the community. And we helped pass out flyers (about 1,000) for the night, and helped with a bible study for youths. Several of us on the team sang in church on Sunday. It was an encouragement to see the church's hospitality, and I pray we were an encouragement to the church. We had a lot of fun, and it wasn't as grueling as I had expected at all. I shared a room with my RA, and we talked for at least an hour every night. It was really encouraging to get to know him better.
This week has been a little stressful, but not overwhelming. I read a whole book in one sitting yesterday. I have about 20 pages of research papers due, and about another 15 pages of writing due in the next two weeks. About 3 full books to read and 3 midterms. But, I don't feel too crazy yet.
