Update from Fredericton
Well I finally arrived in Fredericton yesterday at 5:00. I am so thankful to finally be here!!!!! This is very exciting to be out in the field!!!! This is what gets me pumped!
Last night, about an hour and a half after I arrived, I went to a service at a Nursing home. I was blessed. It was only a small home with about 15 people but it was nice sharing with the women who lived there. I love when people share their stories about God with me. I was blessed by a story last night. She was 99 years old and told me how God has changed her life and how she knows that He speaks to her daily. That made my day. She reminded me of my grandmother, even in here mannerisms. WOW!
Today, I went into the church. The church is a brand new building opened a year and half ago. It is beautiful and it has family and community services connected to it. Right now the gym is full of presents and food.
This morning I phoned about 50 families who are being sponsored with a pickup date and time so that was nice. Almost got through to everybody on the list.
It is nice to see Jesus' mission at work.
Then I went to a Public Relations Dinner... a nice turkey dinner as we heard what the Emergency Measures has done here throughout the year. It was an interesting experience.
After the luncheon, I went shopping with Family Services. We purchased some toys for the packages and hampers that are being packed. That was very rewarding. I loved it.
We shop again sometime tomorrow. After shopping we returned to the church, I went to the officers house for a while and then I went to the Women's Ministry Christmas Supper which was at a lady's house who is from St. John's and attended the Citadel when I was going to the Citadel... she moved year a year and half ago, so that was nice.
Anyway, I am so thankful to God for everything!!!! I hope the rest of my sessionmates are enjoying doing God's work too!!! Keep praising Him!
Blessings
