one week in

All 5 of us got jobs at ski resorts. We split up into two groups and work at two different mountains. Some of us are at working as ski instructors, snowboard instructors, or kiddie ride facilitators. Work has been really busy through this holiday season, and we're meeting tons of new co-workers everyday.

We are still currently living at the church building and today, being Sunday, found us stashing all of our gear in a side room as people showed up to Sunday school. As we examine our ministry approach, housing options are bountiful. A couple in the church has opened up their home to the 5 of us and we're looking to see if it'd be a good fit with all of the ministry ideas that we had in mind.

It's a really neat feeling to be floating around Sierra Bible Church in the morning before service. People come up to us and ask us how we're doing and honestly care. We've been invited to dinner countless times and have been meeting church members intentionally and even as we are at work or passing through town. It's a cool feeling to have the church body so involved in our lives.

God has been so good to us. He's placed us in a body of believers that is serious about being the Church. We've been given so much and the expectations are so high for the ministry. It's our will to humbly move forward knowing that God will further His own glory with or without our help yet strongly desiring to be a part of His plan.
