Sunday, June 3
Work included Sunday school, which went really well and then our summer kick-off which also went awesome! The kick off was the first time I met a lot of the kids and there were over 80 of them there! We played three games that went along with our Under Siege theme. This day I worked a total of 5 hours.

Personal Reflection:
This week was pretty stressful and to be honest, not too enjoyable. But that is okay! We got a lot done and learned a ton. After wednesday was over, I was really discouraged but after talking it out the next day felt a little bit better about the whole thing. Overall, I have been learning a lot about sermon preparation. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into it and I am still nervous to speak on Sunday! However, I am thankful that I have learned that giving a sermon takes time and organization; two things I lack. I am glad this week is over but am also glad I was pushed through it.
Spiritual Reflection:
This week is something I would consider a medium week. It was not the best week for me spiritually but it was stretching. I learned that this summer will be one where I must lean completely on God. So, since that is something I learned then this week I guess this week was completely necessary!
In Christ,

Keep up the good work! I know it's stressful and all, but remember to keep a good attitude! That is something that God is teaching me right now. Phil. 2:14-15 have really helped me. It says Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe. I memorized that verse last week during training week, when I was definitely doing my share of complaining. But God is showing me that my attitude needs to reflect Him, even when I'm stressed, sweaty, and tired! Trust Him to give you all you need!
