Day One Complete

Hey everybody! Today was my first day at Lifeline and it went very well. I thank all of you who have been praying for me. I arrived safely in New Albany, OH last night just in time to have dinner with my first host family. I am staying with my supervisor and his wife (both of whom are Lifeline staff) and their three boys. They all have been very hospitable to me, and have done a lot to make me feel comfortable. The boys are also fun because I never had brothers and its been a long time since anyone in my house has been that young  For the first week that I am at Lifeline I will shadowing a different staff member every day and working on a food packing event. Today I worked on a few details about food packing event I will help plan. Me and my supervisor brainstormed about locations and dates for the event. I also shadowed the staff member that is responsible for planning all work teams. I learned about how she books plane tickets and gets all the information for and from work team members. I also helped her pack some materials that will be sent to the field soon with some of the staff. Tomorrow I will be shadowing the staff member who is responsible for child sponsorship program. I look forward to learning this area because sponsorship programs are especially close to my heart. On another note, tonight I experienced my first tornado warning. It wasn’t too severe, but the siren went off and we had to go in the basement for a few minuets. This just seems to be a year of first for me, lol. Thank you again for your support and prayers. Please continue to lift the work of Lifeline up in prayer and for my guidance as well.
