First week of work…

So it’s been approximately a week since I started my job at Market Computers here in Vail Colorado. I am thankful for having a job, however, it’s been really draining. The past week I worked 35 hours, and I will soon be working 40 hours a week once business starts to pick up, and we open at 9 instead of 10am. That has been really draining to me physically. I hardly get enough sleep, and once I get off work, I try to squeeze as much time in to hang out and socialize with other project students (when group activities are not planned, such as Weds church service, and family dinner, group hike)…

I’ve gotten to know many of the project students here very well. It’s really cool to see how what only 3 weeks can do when you all live in the same building.

Amanda - She’s from Boones, NC, and goes to school at Appalachian State University. She’s a really cool girl. We got to know each other better the past couple weeks due to the Teva Games Photo Competition. She is an excellent photographer, and has a Canon DSLR like me. We had lots of fun taking photographs together. The most fun photoshoot we had together was at night when we went into town and took long exposure shots with flashlights! She also makes the most amazing white pasta sauce I’ve ever tasted! She’s a beast !

Seth - We both play guitars, and we are serving together at Vail Church on the worship band. He’s an amazing guitar player, I look up to him a lot. One thing I love about this dude is his humbleness. He thinks I am better than him at guitar, clearly that is not the case from my point of view. He is also very willing to help out, and drive me to work and picking me up. He’s a good guy; we are also in the same family group.

Adam - He is my personal body guard. He lives in the same condo as me, even though he is much much bigger than me, he’s a gentle and caring man. He loves to cook and eat, and also very willing to give me rides. I am helping him quit smoking cigarettes this summer. So far he’s been very well! I am really proud of him.

Bryan - He sleeps with me…. (not that way you silly head, he sleeps in the same room as me ) He’s a good person as well. I haven’t had too much chance to get to know him as well as the people above, but we get along pretty well.

The rest of the group…. I don’t feel like I know them as well, but hopefully get a chance to know them better this summer.

Prayers: I could use some prayers for energy, steadfast in the Lord. And also my friends who are still job-less. There are talks about people leaving project next week if they still can’t find a job.Which is really sad. And also my relationship with the project people.
