Home Sweet Summer Home

I arrived in Theresa, NY yesterday after two days of driving. I left Chicago on Wednesday morning at 8am and arrived in Rochester, NY at around 8pm. It was a looooong day of driving but pretty smooth sailing most of the way. Stayed with a friend overnight and headed to Theresa on Thursday. I met the pastor of the church I will be interning at and we talked for a good hour. I then went to the house I will be staying in for the entire summer. I will be living with a family(mom, dad and youngest son). They are supremely nice people and are hospitable beyond belief. When I first arrived I was a bit nervous. I sat on my bed as I tried to unpack and stared out of the window for a while. I could see cows roaming the land and I realized I was out of my element. I wondered how I had gotten to this place and questioned why I came here.

Today, the uneasiness is almost completely gone and I am looking forward to my summer here. I think I will learn a lot this summer. Not just about my own calling but about life in general. I realized that I needed to go somewhere far away in order to grow more. My prayer is that God uses me to teach the people here but also that I would learn a lot more from them. I took some pics today and you can see them here
