Here we are. this buidling here = the convent and the front of the high school. Have we told you how long our commute is? it's unbearable... seriously the 20 or so feet--longest commute ever. (did i mention that the walk from the convent door to the high school is covered?)
i am sorry for all the others who have a legit commute. I will stop with the comments now :)
California has been great. First day of ministry was last Thursday, which was just a mere day after DV orientation ended. Liz and I entered the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) office amongst a flurry of activity. CampRey had just started. All the students have come to school a week early to learn important business skills before they start working in their corporations. They all look so sharp in their business atire, but playing dress code cop at 7:30 in the morning is not so pleasant.
Let's see, what else have we been up to? O! Liz and I both get to supervise afterschool typing classes, and tomorrow is our big day--we will be doing lots of supervision throughout the day. We have been hanging around the CWSP office doing finishing tasks that need to be done ASAP-- the seniors start working on August 31st. please keep ICA-Cristo Rey in your prayers, we still need at least 13 corporate sponsors for all the students (and Lord, if they could be paid positions...)
Living in the community has been really interesting. On Saturday we had the beginning of the year meeting. It was intense, but i think everyone feels better now that we have our schedule set. Prayer starts at 6am. So even though there is a big time difference, it seems that we will probably be waking up at the same time... :)
The women we live with have amazing stories!! All other DV's, I encourage you to sit down with your community and ask them to all share their story with you. I can guaruntee that it will be a conversation starter.
Well, I think i have said my share so far. Weather wise we have been blessed with sunny and warm all the days we have been here.
LOOK out Cali---- :) :)
