I've been gone for two months now

Time is flying by! It doesn't even seem real that nearly three weeks ago we had our first launch team meeting at Russ's house and this week we'll be having our second. I'm definitely used to the area by now, but still dealing with the absence of friends from home. I miss them. There is a laundry list of reasons why I love living in the Northwest, but that's the one thing that makes it hard. Being away from friends and family is going to be a continual adjustment I'm afraid. However, my sister, brother-in-law and baby niece are coming to visit me this Wednesday. I'm overly excited to say the least.

Other positive news is that I scored an interview this past week. On the 20th I'll be heading up to Dupont, WA, about twenty minutes north of Oly, to the Statefarm building to chat with the AFC of the Pacific Northwest. Finally I feel like I'm getting somewhere! I'm really hoping and praying that Mr. Caldwell can help me get my foot in the door with the company by providing some sort of PR job or receptionist position. He oversees 46 agents in the area so I have a feeling he can help me out in some form or fashion. When Angie comes to visit we're going to hit up some shops and look for some business appropriate clothing. I can't wait to walk into the office with my heals on, all confident.

Throughout the last few weeks I've been seeking out various avenues in which I can serve and help other churches in the area. After hearing that two out of three churches in the Northwest fail, it's the least I can do.

The service I attended last night in Dupont was amazing. It was just the encouragement I was needing for the week. The church is called Life Church Dupont and is the first church plant of the Surround the Sound project. They are two years into their ministry in Dupont and God is really providing big for them. They currently are meeting in the coffee shop downtown called Forza, and by the way this place makes awesome coffee, probably one of the better Sumatras I've had in my day.

Anyway, it was great to see how God is working through Pastor Kyle Lewallen, the leadership team at Life Church and the congregation. It's exciting to watch Life Church grow in Dupont and think about how God can use Sound City in Tumwater/Oly. Who knows how things will look as months go by, or even years. So glad I can be a part of it!

This past Wednesday I got to head up to Mount Rainier for the first time. It was an awesome day. The weather was beautiful. It felt so good to be outside in the sun. Standing at the bottom of Rainier at Pardise you can see Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens, pretty cool. It was a great day and here are some pictures to prove it.

Stay tuned trusty followers. Who knows what will happen next!
