FrienDay FriDay :D

FrienDay FriDay is where post a "friend" that I run into, 

or a image that is definitive of the my experience with Cru

 that I would text a picture of to a good friend..

While I'm out of town at the training for my new position with Cru, my husband texted me this picture. YAY for running into Friends while out for frozen yogurt! :)

It's always great to run into people you know - esp. long time friends like this couple. They've been family friends since I was 3 (?) and ministry partner supporters since 2003. THANKS so much, Friends, for your partnership in fulfilling the Great Commission in all aspects of life :)

[what]S'up, Wednesday?

[what]S'up, Wednesday?" is a place where I give weekly updates about how day to day life is going here in Wildwood, New Jersey. It will typically include something that has just happened, a "forecast of a schedule (always subject to change), and an update on my financial situation.. :)
          ******************************************************************

Happenings: I'm still getting use to the "official-ness" of the part time position with Cru. After being autonomous for the most part of the last 4 years, I'm trying to get in the swing of keeping my new supervisors in the loop. We currently don't have internet at home - as a way to limit time spent-er, uh, wasted on-line while we're prepping for Baby! ;) We go to the library right around the corner for inter-webs, but that makes responding to emails, keeping track of the Cru requirements, and beginning the support process a lil more limited. :)

I also want to restate - in case you missed it in the last post - I will not be going to Wildwood to interpret this summer. By God's providence, no Deaf students were interested/able to attend this summer. I see this "pause-year" as a beneficial time to regroup and make plans toward something more sustainable for the coming years. << Baby coming in July also is a good reason to "pause" and stay home ;) >>

Schedule: I experienced my very first tear-filled departure from the airport on Monday evening (I'm blaming the prego-hormones). Now, I'm in Orlando attending a "New Staff training" that Cru provides to all their new hires. I'm learning how to use their financial system as well as some best practices to connect donors to my ministry and the interpreter ministry. For those of you who have indicated a desire to join my monthly support team, I'll be following up with you soon :) The training ends on Saturday, and then I will visit with my grandparents (mom's mom) for a day, and head back to T-town on Sunday :) You might think that after being away from my husband for 5 weeks back in January, that 5 days wouldn't be so bad - but Sunday can't come soon enough!

Finances: My account number has now changed, and the site is ready! If you have giving set up directly to the old account (#2870830) it will automatically be redirected to the new account as I'll be responsible for my personal support as well as the interpreter accounts. However, my account number will now be #0865449. 
I appreciate your generosity.
