| The Intern (real world) House |
"This is the true story... of eleven strangers... picked to live in a house...work together and have their lives taped... to find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real...The Real World." --All true, besides the taping part.. well at least to the extent of what were told.
Well I arrived at camp just over 2 weeks ago, and already so much has happened! The first night we had dinner at the Camp Manager's house and spent the evening meeting with all the property staff we will be working with. The next couple days consisted of orientation and getting settled in here by picking up groceries and figuring our way around town. Last Tuesday was my first day working with the Maintenance department and it was exciting to finally meet all the guys I am working with. So my first week was a WHOLE new experience, I learned how to sand, insulate, stain, and clear coat the front sign. I helped pour concrete or mud as they all call it. I Tore out a ceiling and a tile floor, repaired a couch and some chairs, and helped install a irrigation system. Needless to say, I have been doing things I have never done before. I have learned that every day work is gonna have a new surprise for me, and its best to dress accordingly.

We have begun our intern bible study and as apart of it we will memorize a book of the bible and also study a gospel throughout the year. The focus of our year is to become Disciples of Christ. Which means we try and live according to those who followed Jesus. Lately in bible study we have talked a lot about the costs and benefits of coming here to commit a year to following Christ. Once you start looking at everything we could give up, the benefits of knowing Jesus more continues to outweigh all other things. Brett Wingo, the camp director and our bible study leader has continually pushed on us that this is our year, we can waste it, or we can make it revolutionary to the way we follow Jesus for the rest of our lives.
On to other news, this past weekend I went with a fellow intern to the closest big town, Silverthorne. To get chipotle and go to a Target, talk about a big deal for a saturday! On the way back we took the back way through the national forest and got to see some beautiful terrain. The beauty of mountains will never get old. This morning I went on a hike big horn Mtn., which was followed by some time on my hammock,(thanks causey family!) reading and journaling. The rest of my day will be spent resting, before going to church this evening.
Until next time, thanks for following. God has blessed me with terrific support and to all who have supported me by prayers and financial gifts, you are what makes this happen. Thank you so much, and God Bless!
