This weekend was full of reflection and processing at our retreat in Silver City, New Mexico. We spent a weekend doing different exercises, practicing tools to help us in discernment. This weekend just happened to be vocational discernment. I definitely do not have my vocation mapped out but that wasn't the goal. Rather, I now have new tools and deeper understandings about what is important to me in a vocation.
In addition to these sessions, my housemates and I got to explore downtown Silver City and play games with the other Presbyterian young adult volunteers from Tucson and Albuquerque who were also joining us on this retreat. This was a small reunion for us since we all did our border delegation together in October. On Sunday morning, we thanked the community that shared their church with us over the weekend by leading their service. This was a great time of connection with the First Presbyterian congregation in Silver City and we're very grateful that they shared their space with us in a very literal way (the volunteers slept on air mattresses in the church and we did our cooking in their kitchen).
This week at work included listening to some court cases, doing some more country conditions, mailing, and some light LSAT studying (still no test date planned). This week will be another full week with some visitors from the Hesston College Bel Canto choir and my brother, Wyatt, who was unable to visit with the rest of my family in April.
Here's to another week and not too hot of weather yet!
