Day 2

Hola mis amigos!

Day 2 was a complete success. It started at about 6 with a team quiet time, followed by a bit of a nap, followed by my first real day working at Culver's.

It was a blast working there for the most part and I'm looking forward to the summer there...tho I am slightly anxious about the craziness the middle of the summer will bring.

After work, my team and I watched the movie "Salt" and actually relaxed a bit...then we had a group dinner with our sister team and went to the first NavNight of the summer. We met a local family that really had a heart to see the people of the 53965 (Wisconsin Dells, WI) and everyone in it reached for the Lord. We also met a couple cool girls that are from a nearby town and got to chat it up with them for a bit. One is an Ed major...and yes, we high fived.

After we got done hanging out for a bit we walked with a big group back to their hotel and hung out and met some international students they live near. I got to have a good talk with a Ukrainian student named Alex and for the first time with a international student explained what I was in the Dells for! It was good to just hang with a bunch of people that I didn't know because as much as I love my SDSU friends, there are a ton here so it was cool to be around mainly people I didn't know very well.

So yea, it was a great day, and I wanna leave you with what was on my heart today:

John 15:2

"He cuts off every branch of mine that does not produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do not bear fruit so that they will prodcue even more"

I am in the Dells to serve and preach the gospel, but also to be refined into more of the man God calls me to be. I am producing fruit and it feels good to know I am honoring God and serving Him, but I am not perfect. All of us need to be pruned and refined, and sometimes it hurts...but it is done so that we can produce as much fruit as possible.

So what has been running thru my mind today is how pruning and refining is necessary, because I don't just want to produce some fruit, I want to produce as much and as good of fruit as I can.

Blessing and talent!
