I have gone to Bible Baptist Church 4 more times (including wed. and twice today). And so far it feels comfortable. Today Cole and I were invited to Sunday dinner after early service at a nice family's house, the Chaney's. They are really nice and I got to talk Cindy (the mom) about different ministries and some other questions I had about the church. She said it is fine if I bring my NKJV Bible (I asked) she said that they use KJV because of the translation. They really stick to scripture, like we flip to different verses at least 20 times a service. The Pastor preached last Sunday about letting God guide you and I was in the middle of job confusion and was really grateful for and touched by the message. Although Matt did not go to dinner or early service with Cole and I he went to evening service! He said the hymns were from when he was in fourth grade and he said "It was alright." So I think he will be attending regularly with me! There is a ton of things for me to get involved in: play in orchestra, campus ministry, they do alot for missionary wives, nursery, jail ministry, camps and more.
I am now working at the Hilton Garden Inn as a front desk agent. I sorta feel like it is a step backward but that I am supposed to be there. http://hiltongardeninn.hilton.com/en/gi/hotels/index.jhtml;jsessionid=PDBDEUQRXTDSQCSGBJN2VCQ?ctyhocn=GFKGHGI It is really nice and the best part: it's about 1/4 mile from our apt. and a covered walkway most of the way (that is the reason I took the position). I think there is alot of room for growth so we'll see. Everyone I work with seems really nice, also very new, the most senior employee was hired in march, which is a bit scary I kind of wonder why that is. This is an old pic but you can see the walkway, it connects to the Hilton on the right and we live to the left.

congratulations on the job. it's nice that they have a walkway you can use to get there. use it while you can. what kind of hours do you have?
that's good that you like the church and that the families there are reaching out. it's really nice when the people in your church make you feel like you are welcome and at home. i don't know ahout you but it was hard to move away even to college cause i missed being around the family all the time but having a church with warm people is a nice blessing. i'm glad you see opportunities to get involved. i'm also so glad to see that you were able to get a job that hopefully has good, flexible hours for you. hope everything else is going well for you all. love you.
