Back to blogging. I haven't done this in a while, but very very soon...26 days soon, I will have very few methods of communication.
For those of you who haven't heard: I'm adventuring to the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana this summer. So to start us off right...I will provide the basics
What's going on? I am a Site Director for YouthWorks! Which basically means that I will be coordinating all aspects of a mission site so 65 high school students can do week long mission trips throughout the summer. I get to manage staff, budget, build community relationships, and not sleep for three months.
Where? Heart Butte, Montana is a town of 700 people located on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. It is about 45 mins from Glacier National Park and about twelve steps from Canada.
Why? 5 months after graduation...I am still jobless. So I pose the question: when you are jobless and living with your parents what should you do?
Easy...Go on an adventure.
That's not exactly the full story. I've wanted to work with YouthWorks! but I was too busy collecting "job experience" so I could get a job that I missed out on summer adventures. So earlier this year as I was throwing my resume out like candy at a parade...I applied to YouthWorks, just to see what happened. God's plan once again trumped my own and I'm preparing for one of the craziest and most challenging experiences I've ever had.
So why the blog? I will be living in a classroom at a school in Heart Butte. Heart Butte doesn't really have cell phone service...but the school has internet. I also won't have a ton free time on my hands (about 1 day a week). So through this blog I can give you all the updates, stories, and photos from my summer!
Now that we've covered the basics...we can get into the interesting stuff. I promise my blog posts won't be as dull as this one...but we had to start someplace.
