RAing and other things

I don't even know where to begin. It has been several weeks since I updated. I guess I will just do my typical thing and just let my fingers fly and see where it takes me.

Well I have been home for about 3 and 1/2 weeks now. And been at school for a little more then 2 weeks now for RA training. It has been so good seeing the friends that I missed so much. There are still several that I want to see. So if you live in Oregon and I haven't seen you yet, hit me up. But it has been a blessing just chillin with the friends.

So Like I said the last couple weeks I have been at school for RA training where you are basically a slave to the Student Life team. In some ways that has been frustrating but it is a very needed time of team building and various other trainings. Here is some of the things we have done: gone on a retreat, all day training in CPR and First Aid, two days of workshops, lots of mandatory but needed hangout time, made a video that will be shown at an all school gathering, decorated our halls, spent a day weeding, and had a dedication dinner for student life leaders to present there plan to all the important people.

So this year has been quite the change in the dorm. First of all we have a new RD who is pretty awesome by the way. But I had Eugene as my RD for the last three years one of which I was an RA. Also, there are several people who don't live in the dorm this year but have lived in it with my for the last three years. From my first semester here at Corban there are only three other people that are still in the dorm with me.

However, the team in Farrar is a really good team. At first I felt very out of the group because the three of them spent a lot of time together. But I have enjoyed getting to know them better. One of them has been teaching me better how to play Disc Golf I am still way worse then most people but I am a lot better then I was so that is fantastic!

Hmm, what else do you want to know? OH, I got my hall and my room are way better then they were last year. If you know what I am talking about you should come check out them both.

Also, since I had such little space of my own this last summer I tended to stay pretty organized maybe not by my brother's standards but by mine. So get this my room is staying fairly clean at least compared to last year.

Oh I just remembered something else. I am so excited about my hall I have a really solid group of returners and what seems to be pretty awesome new people. So this is going to be a good year!

Gosh I just can't seem to stop writing. I have simi-started leading at the church which I am interning. RA training has been a little crazy so I haven't been able to start fully yet. However, I met most of the guys I will be working with. I am going to be a freshmen guy leader which is going to be great!

Also, sorry I left this til last but I am still not sure how to phrase it and was trying to figure that out. But God has still been doing some amazing things in my heart and my soul. Contentment is coming easier and so is following him. I know He is with me and guiding me!

Love,
