Finally some free time!

I feel like I say this every time, but it's been a long time since the last update and I apologize.

Coming back from the beach into project with the new leadership in place wasn't as hard of a transition as I anticipated it being. All of the new staff had been selected prior to me leaving for my trip, so I was confident that they would do a great job, I just wasn't sure how the transition period would go. When I arrived back to project I quickly realized that everything was going to be just normal. The new leaders are very respected members of the project, and I think everyone still understands that they will each have to do their part, title or no title.

The last week or so has been really busy, and I've been working alot. They allowed us to work night shifts on July 3rd and July 4th since it would be so busy, but luckily I was off on the 4th. A bunch of us went to Sea World to enjoy the shows and took alot of the non-Sea World employees with us since we have our free passes now. By the end of the night, we had seen all the day shows and night shows, and gone to almost all of the encounters. It was a great way for everyone to get to see SeaWorld that doesn't work there. At night, the fireworks were amazing and they were firing off from every angle. The SeaWorld fireworks were coordinated with music, so that was pretty awesome - but it still didn't compare to the fireworks that are fired off in ole Daleville, VA.

This next week I'll be working Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, so it'll be another busy one, but it's not too awful bad...it helps to make a little money. Also in this upcoming week we are doing something called "Killing the giants week" which involves conquering our fears in regards to sharing our faith and really pushing us to start spiritual conversations with co-workers and even friends back home through facebook, phone calls, or e-mails. I think it'll be a great chance to really grow in our faith and get some confidence to share once back at home at the end of the summer.

Other than that I'm just staying really busy with other things. We have the different weekly meetings and special events on weeknights that make for a long day after coming home from work. Everyone is in high spirits and I feel like unity hasn't been an issue at all. I'm really impressed at how everyone can get along without forming alot of cliques or exclusive groups. Overall, it's been a blast.
