New Week, New Experiences

What up ya'll
Lets start off by saying this was a very kick back weekend for me. I wanted to just take a little time to myself. I know that seems kind of funny because I have too much time by myself. Well I should say I didn't have the Van yet, but I will have it this weekend. I am very blessed so far because since Friday I had heard from familiar faces that I haven't heard from in while. I talked to my Dad for while and hopefully I can get my hair clippers because my hair is getting long LOL. Thought that was funny. Anyway, then I heard from my Grandma. She called me up and talked to me a while and Laura was there and I got to talk to her. I really enjoy talking to Laura, but I am so happy that my Grandma called me. I always worry about her. And now I find out I can use my phone in my room to call everyone because it will be less than what my cell phone will be. I can use my cell for emergencies and when I'm out. Then, I got a email from my best friend from I.T, Jessica. I haven't heard from her in a year and out of the blue I get an email from her. That made my night on Thursday. So after that I was feeling pretty good over the weekend.
I had a interesting day today. First I ate breakfast at the cafeteria, which I always have lunch but I haven't had breakfast yet. Then I get into work and work was cool. This was more of a relax day for me because I just continued my updates on the two Dell Optiplex PC's that were still in my office. After I got done doing that, I went out to the Warehouse and checked on their printer that the Warehouse office ladies were having issues with. Printer seemed OK after I left. Came back and got a post office message that my good buddy Glenn sent me something but the mail didn't make it to the office because the piece of mail needed to have another stamp, and I will go pick it up tomorrow. After a long day of work, I went home and then I realized that I lost my black hat. I think I left it in the cafeteria so I'm really not worried about, someone must of picked it up and did something with it and I will find that tomorrow as well. Then in the evening, there is another BVS unit out here right now, but this is the BVS/BRF unit. A little bit different from us. There more conservative about thing in the Brethren history, but they asked me if I can show up at the session. I thought that was great. I get to learn about the BRFers and it gets me out of my apartment for a couple of hours. When I got back, I emailed one of my unit members, Jillian because she sent me an email earlier today. I was real happy to hear from her and I am going to email everyone else in the next couple of days to see how everyone else is doing at their projects. Then I receive another email from Glenn & Donna, letting me know that they checked out my news article that was in the Baltimore Sun last Sunday. We did some work at this local home that did some work with schools and students. That was a great day during our orientation. Glenn also informed me that we now have a new Pastor at our church. I cant me more happy for everyone. They waited patiently to get a new pastor and I believe God is blessing them with everything that is going on so far. I can't wait to introduce myself to the new pastor, Jim Eikenberry (I saw his picture on the brethren.org website). Then I receive another email from another old friend, Angela Daniels. That made my night once again. She said that she checked out the website and checked out this Blog that I am writing and thinks its great that I am here in New Windsor. I was happy that she emailed me and I am in return going to send her an email. Anyway, that was my weekend and Monday. I wanted to write something; Thank you to all who have contacted me the last few days. I love you all and I hope to continue the communication throughout my stay in Brethren Volunteer Service, no matter where God takes me.

With Love
