A couple weeks ago, I booked my flight to return to the Old Line State. An hour after finishing the booking process, I received an email from one of these former co-workers, asking me if I wanted a job at the camp. Without a second thought, I replied, "YES!" We are excited. I cannot yet describe exactly what it is that I will be doing, but it is fixed that I will be working with GADC again this summer. It is such a joy and an honor to work with this team and I am so looking forward to what the Lord will do in the hearts of the kids this summer, as well as developing within the community.
As I wrote before, my intentions are to stay in MD for the summer. I am researching a few grad school options, and will likely take trips throughout to look into select programs first hand. Other plans: a trip to Harrisburg and Ephrata, PA is already in the works for my first weekend State-side. A good friend was zealously willing (thanks Tschay!) to take some of my belongings back to the States with him today, and I will go to get these things and to spend time with my friends who are there at the time. These are some of the friends so highly spoken of back in this September 2009 post.. I am working on a trip to NC that will be multi-faceted, as I'll catch up with the Silvas and also check out an appealing masters program in Charlotte which will (HOPEFULLY) include time with Jo... we'll see how it all comes together.
My heart's desire is to invest everything I can into my church family there. They sent me off with such love and blessing, and I want to return to them as much as I can with everything I've received and learned here. This is beginning to sort out a little more specifically already, but I can't explain yet how these opportunities will appear.
I hope everyone is a little more satisfied with the details now. Thanks for being patient!
