Team Building

yesterday we were told to wear clothes we can get gross in..and were given directions to a warehouse in Queens, which ended up being the Here's Life Inner City office/warehouse. I had no idea what to expect. Our first activity we were given a number and we had to get on our hands and knees and make the animal noise that was given to that number. I had to sound like a pig with my eyes closed listening for other pigs...that was so interesting. That's how we got put into our ministry groups. So, for the next four weeks I will be working with Dayne, Nicole, Kasi, and Katrina. Throughout the day we did different team building games and a few were quite uncomfortable for me, most of them I have done before with Southeastern's leadership team...overall we had really good communicaton and worked really well together.
I'm nervous but really excited about our group and the ministry sites. I know I was called here and put in certain groups so that I can grow. The majority of the group have dominant personalities and I don't...so that will definitely help me with being the student direction on campus next year.

Today we went to C3 Manhattan (Christian City Church Manhattan)...it was really good. We will be going to a different church every sunday...most likely the church in the ministry site we will be working in.
On our free time today 5 of us went to China Town which was super sketchy but I guess normal...shopping out of a van, suitcase, and secret doors in the shops...leading to fake designer bags. It was so strange.

So, tomorrow we start our ministry site and in an hour I find out where our first site is. Just pray that God works through us in every situation.
I'm praying He gives me strength and wisdom....and definitely patience.
