Speaker, Soccer, Service Projects


Since my last blog I have learned a little more about Northern Ireland. Although nothing is for sure yet I will probably be working with the East Belfast Mission. I will most likely do work with their youth program. I don't want to talk about that too much because it seems every time I do something gets changed and I end up having to correct myself. Just kidding
Anyway here in Chicago I have started my service project. I am working with Catholic Charities, doing office work. I work with Kevin Gray (the only other guy in RAD). We work at desks typing information from cards into the computer. It's not the funnest job in the world, but it is very helpful to the agency.
Also last week we had another guest speaker, James Kraybill. He talked to us about evangelism and peace. It was really a powerful lesson the eight of us continued to talk about what he had said for a long time, and It's an issue we will probably continue to discus. I am really greatful for the speakers Darrell has lined up for us.
I have also been enjoying my free time. I have figured out the CTA (Chicago’s mass transit) and I am utilizing it. Last weekend after going to church I went to the USA Brazil soccer game with Melina and Caitlyn. I met up with Jameel and Joseph there. It was a great game and it was good to see my brothers again. Next weekend looks to be just as much fun Maria is coming up to visit, the cheesecake festival is going on and the Celtic music fest will also be happening so it looks like this weekend will be full of fun.
