What I've been up to.

a few things I've experienced in the past few weeks, in no particular order:

• Meetings, meetings meetings! Namely a Presbytery meeting and a session meeting. Just when I thought I had the Lutheran and Methodist churchs figured out. Now it's the Presbyterian church.
• tours of the ministries of West Central neighborhood. There are so many, but still there is so much poverty here. This world is unjust. What are we going to do about it?
• a spelling bee...in a bar. There is a really cool bar in downtown Spokane called "The B-side" I went to support my housemate but I ended up entering myself...and took fourth. Mom and Dad, your college tuition dollars were not wasted because I can spell "glockenspiel"...umm, yeah
• The opening of the Monroe Street bridge!
• Volunteering at Global Folk Art, Spokane's only fair-trade non-profit store
• Hiking with my housemate and some new friends at Priest Lake, Idaho
• glow in the dark, night Ultimate Frisbee under the full moon. (with cool red and green glowing headbands.)
• getting lost numerous times on Spokane's one way streets

busy

Still here, still looking for a job, don't have internet, the library's closing, that's all. But I feel optimistic.

I'm here!

I'm in Spokane and I'm loving it so far. The house is great, the neighborhood kids are fun and I'm getting involved in the church and community. I have a piano student already. It's going to be a growing stretching learning year and I'll be quite busy.
I love the mountains and the trees here.
