the past couple weeks....

Hi all! Sorry I haven't updated recently!! Lots has happened in the last couple weeks, so I'll do my best to remember everything.
First on the list is work, I guess. It's been going very well! I like it a lot still, so that's a plus! We all passed our driving tests, so I've been driving or conducting trams for most of my days monday through thursday. I'm starting to get a very good farmers tan because we have shortsleeved shirts, and i believe one of my arms is tanner because I drive more often than not. The people we work with are very nice, although most of them are guys over the age of 60 so I sometimes feel a bit outnumbered when we're in the break room. Overall though, work is great!! Tomorrow I think that I'm going to head over to Silver Dollar City for a bit with another girl I work with and we're going to check out the cave tours that they do. That should be fun to actually spend some time in the park instead of just in the parking lot!
Last time I posted, it was right before project olympics. Those were a lot of fun! I was on the purple team, and we came in second! It was a lot of fun. We did things like dodgeball and kickball and relay races and family feud...it was a good variety. And during our lunchbreak a bunch of us played Ultimate Frisbee, so that was exciting! I haven't had a lot of time to do that this summer, so it was good to get a chance to get my frisbee fix.
That night a bunch of us went to a baseball game in the area, so that was a lot of fun!
We have also started some outreach stuff on Saturdays. We have done two outreaches so far. The first one started out with a survey where you basically just asked people where they were spiritually or what their opinions were on things. This (sometimes) started good conversations where we could learn more about the person and possibly share the gospel with them. The outreach that we did this past Saturday is called solarium. Solarium is basically a picture survey: there are about 50 pictures of random things, and you ask the interviewee which ones represent their life, their spiritual life, their view of God, etc. This should start up a good conversation as well. It's been pretty cool to be involved in these outreaches and just see how God can use them to start conversations about Him.
This past Friday we went caving for our adventure day. That was a lot of fun! The caving itself didn't take a whole lot of time, but the day involved a hike down an old stream bed to reach the cave, scaling across part of a cliff underneath a waterfall, and swimming in a "water hole". It was a great day :-)
Every night at dinner, a few students share their testimonies at dinner, and Tuesday it was my turn! I was a little nervous, but it went well, and it's over now! It's been really cool to hear about how God has worked in the lives of everyone around me, and it was very neat to sit down and think about all the ways He has worked in mine!
Well, I think those are the highlights of the past couple weeks! This weekend, instead of having an adventure day, we are haveing men's and women's retreats! So I will be in eurika springs Arkansas from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning! it should be fun, though i'm not really sure exactly what we're doing. Then Sunday, I'm going to be a part of a group date: the guys' small groups have been asking out the girls' small groups, and mine was just asked out. So that should be fun! :)
I think that's it...hope things are going well up in New England!
Love you all!
If any of you want some things to pray for....
-Safety while we do all this cool random stuff
-The people that we talk to at outreach/work/etc...that they will be open to learning about God
-All of us to just focus on God all the time and live for Him in all we do
