First Sunday

I am getting comfortable living out here. I know where almost everything is, at least anything I would need. I even found my gumbo file seasoning today at an organic food store. I'm not as far out into the boonies as I thought I was. Although on Sunday I went out into the boonies where my host family's cottage is. Above are a couple pics.

I preached for the first time at Theresa Presbyterian this past Sunday. I felt nervous prior to the service starting but after that I was fine. The awkward thing was sitting up by the pulpit where everyone could see me. I got good comments about the sermon and everyone was pleased. I actually have an itch to preach right now. It was nice to prepare a sermon and not have classes or exams to worry about.

I have already learned that my church is pretty laid back about things which is good for me. In each bulletin they list joys and concerns from the previous week. One of the joys this Sunday was that the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup. I am definitely in the right place.
