...about the Iowa way to treat you, when we treat you, which we may not do at all."
So I'm here. Like, in Iowa. Like, on PRIME. I guess I never really explained what exactly that is; it's a 6 and a half month internship required by my major where I get hands on experience and learn from a mentor. I'm at New Covenant Bible Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, focusing on the senior high, but I'll get some experinece with the middle school and the children's ministry as well. The staff is amazing, I'm very excited to be here. I think this will be a good fit.
So yesterday was my first day of work. Ten hours, and maybe 3 of them actually felt like work... :) The grad roast was last night, basically it was a way to honor the senior class and celebrate their time in the group. I spent a lot of the day helping the juniors decorate the gym for the 50's party, it was a good time. The upcoming senior class will be great, I'm very excited to get to know them. :)
So yes. My journey has started here in Iowa. I'm glad you're all along for the ride.
Prayers welcome, and much appreciated.
Love and blessings,
Amanda, A-Pants, Apples, Apple Pie, or whatever you choose to call me. :)
