Small Town Girl: One Thing!

I have been here in Fort Walton since last Wednesday, so almost been a week. The theme for this summer comes from Psalm 27, One Thing. What is the one thing that we live for, that we long for? Here is an update how the past 6 days have been. We are living at the wonderful Sandman Motel! It is wonderful for college students, because we are the only ones who use it during the whole year! So each room has 6 people in it and then the rooms are divided into two different small groups which we call Discipleship Groups. In my room there are 6 of us, 3 from Samford, 2 from Troy and then 1 from Auburn. When you walk into our place you first come to the bedroom which is 3 sets of bunkbeds then into a hallway with the bathroom and in the kitchen and living area. We do have a beautiful room that has a balcony and faces the gulf. So not a bad site to wake up to every morning. On Friday we started to job search. My room leader worked at McDonalds last year and said it was a good experience, so we decided we would try back for there. And we got it! There will be 22 of us at that one McDonalds. There are 37 of us spread out at a few different McDonalds. There are close to 200 students on this project with close to 75 from Troy! Each room is assigned to a certain color and then are on a team. I am on the Black Team, Black Magic! So we have different games and events to earn points. This past weekend we did a Dodgeball Tournament that we dressed up for. This weekend we have out Beach Olympics. So more pictures to come! I have already made some great friendships and am excited to get to know more people! Tomorrow morning at 7am is when I start work. So please be in prayer for me and pray for my co-workers. We were told that some of the workers are from Thailand so this is going to be a good time to witness to them.
