NYC Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!
hello all!
well yes it's official, i'm back in new york for real which is nuts in itself. the past few days have been an intense time of getting to know people and sightseeing, and for today and yesterday, training! The training that we've been doing is on how to properly run a sidewalk sunday school according to form and stuff, making sure we don't miss everything, from pre-opening, to opening, to the bible lesson, to games, and everything else that comes. right now we're in the preaching stage, so we have to come up with stuff to preach on and say it to people at our table, and sometimes in front of all 62 interns. it's a little bit intimidating and hard!!! haha i can't do it without preperation or anything. we're supposed to just open our mouths and flow with it, but it don't work that way all the time. so prayer for that would be much appreciated, as we go through these next few days of intense training that literally takes up 12 hours. it's nuts.
getting to know people is starting to become easier. half of the people are from germany, it seems, so i'm learning german as we go. there's 3 other canadians, although 2 are from quebec....haha the other guy is from kelowna (he was one of the people from the group that was here when the kim's brought us here in march!). it's awesome having the kim's here, and even knowing the staff that we met the last time we were here has been extremely helpful as well. for all that were on the new york trip, we're now using the kitchen that we so dilligently were scrubbing and cleaning up, and vanessa's cooking us some fine meals from there. the accomodations are more than cramped, with 20 guys in one room, bunkbeds are everywhere, and it's extremely tight. we also only have 2 showers...which hasn't been a huge issue so far, but could become one in the future.
one last important thing you should know...wendy, a girl from alabama, has taken it upon herself to compare me to an animal (and i did not reveal to her the polar bear story), and she came up with the golden retriever...i don't know how you guys feel about that, buuut just thought i'd pass it on.
miss you guys!
hope you're having fun and loving Jesus wherever you're at!

It's so good to hear from you Scotty!! I am excited for you and am praying for you. Now, on the issue of you being a golden retriever...it's not even an option! You will always be a polar bear to me!
Scott, I love you! It's amazing because I really love you and it's nothing compared to how much Jesus loves you!! Yikes!
It's radical that you are where you are and living as a target for God's mighty hand to show in your life all the time!!
You will do GREAT things because God has blessed with so much including a heart for the kids and people you are with! Just give'r man and don't worry about what you don't have because GOD HAS IT in spades!!
I'll be praying for you brother.
Scotty!! You're in my country! So excited for you...but I'm gonna have to go with Jess on this one...you will always be a polar bear :)
yeah I'm gonna have to go with polar bear, Scott just wanted to say again, so glad your out there it is encouraging to me! I'm glad friends are commin along and relationships building up.
