First Day

Well today was my first day on the job! I drove over to Denison today and met Wes and Matt for lunch over at Wes's house. We ate some Chik-Fil-A and just sat around and visited for a while. Then Wes went over the job descriptions with us again and just kind of talked about everything that will be going on the next few days. Whereas I think it is going to be a lot of fun, I can tell that I am going to be staying very busy! One of Wes's little girls, Avery, kept coming in and showing off for us while we were talking. She was so cute! I think she immediately took a liking to me. She would just come over and stand in front of me and smile then giggle and run away. Then later she drew me a nice picture! I have NO idea what it is, but it was very sweet of her!
Later during the afternoon we all went up to the church building to get some things set up there. Wes showed us around and took us to our office to get things set up. We have a little office with two desks and some filing cabinets and a TV and stuff. We cleaned out the desk drawers and got our computers hooked up to the system and everything.
Once we hung out there for a little while, Matt and I went to Panara Bread to get some dinner then went back over to Wes's house for Word Up. That is a devo that they have during the school year. Tonight was the last one for the year! Wes was at a meeting so Matt and I had to head it up with no notice! Luckily Naomi, Wes's wife, was there to kind of help us out. There were only about seven kids there tonight because they have finals this week. It was a lot of fun to get to meet some of them and spend some time with them. One of the girls just got her drivers license and a new car a little over a week ago so I let her take me for a ride. She did just fine but I think she was as nervous as could be. She drove real slow and looked very uncomfortable in her seat. I think it was too much for her to talk to me AND drive at the same time so I didn't say much until we got back to the house.
When I got back Matt had gotten out his guitar and mine and was ready to play! I had asked him to learn a song a few weeks ago so we did that one first. It was a lot of fun! It is a two part song so we had a lot of fun singing it together. Wes came through and said, "Its the summer of the musical interns!" We ended up playing and singing (eventually it was just him playing at singing and me just listening) until around 11:00pm. Wes and Naomi hung out with us for a while until they had to go watch some TV show that they had taped.
Since it was getting pretty late we decided that we should probably give it up for the night! We have a meeting with the elders in the morning at 9:00 and I want to be well rested for the day.
For the next week I am going to be staying here with Wes and Naomi and the girls. After that I will be moving in with someone named Mitzi (that is all I know about her as of right now) for the rest of the summer. I have been told that she is very fun, flexible, and that she has a swimming pool!
Ok well I am off to bed, but I will keep you updated on what all happens in the next few days!
