I got to share with the Jr and Senior high youth about my Jewish Christian-ness and they asked a lot of hard and deep questions. We have also met and hit it off with the Hanes' mentors Betsy and Jason. They are my mentor Kim and her husband Jeremy, only in Chicago. It is nice to know their are Gdly and cool people across the U.S. On Friday night we made Shabbat dinner, including Challah, Koogle, and Matzah ball soup. It was incredible.
We have developed so many inside jokes, it is rather ridiculous.
We have not slept. And I mean- not slept. at all. Having quite an adventure to and from Chicago, seeing my brother-in-law Dan, and meeting the Hanes' friends and faith family is refreshing.
There is much stress about school stuff and super inconvenient for me that I am out of the state. Knowing the fault lies with me, is frustrating and that has definitely hindered some of my own time here and attitude.
But thankfully I am with "family" here and that is good in itself.
