Things are definitely fast around here and I think I will write some goals.

This first block my job is Housekeeping. I’m blessed about having the opportunity to serve in this capacity, to take care of God’s house, His School of the Prophets. It feels like a steward of the house – the bottom level of what Joseph had with pharaoh. My work coordinator is Hugh. My trainer and immediate coordinator is Pam who worked Housekeeping at HQ her apprentice year. She shared a great record behind that:

She wanted to serve at HQ her apprentice year. The reason? To learn the heart of The Way International. She wrote a letter to Craig Martindale. I mean Howard Allen (Craig will be here Monday and I need to write him a letter) explaining her heart. Well Howard said come on and of course Pam responded. Her job to learn the heart behind this great Ministry? …Housekeeping.

What better job to learn it by? A person works hard, physically and mentally on that job. They are serving. They make sure the physical details are right and best so that there are no distractions in learning. They are depended on and if they slough off their responsibility, people notice and people are not blessed. It affects everyone on campus. We clean leaders’ rooms (we are all leaders so I should say the instructors’ rooms), the coordinators’ rooms, and our peers’ rooms. We are “behind the scenes” making sure people are blessed in day-by-day living so that they can receive the most spiritually and mentally. I’m excited about housekeeping.

My Twig consists of 7 wonderful people: Nancy, John, Roy (all three 11th Corps), Perry, Barbi, Richard, and me (all 13th Corps). We are in Branch D (Dave), Area 2 (Rappy & Bonnie), in Unit 1. I go to Leadership Development (L.D.) in the morning and work in the afternoon.

This morning was the 12-minute test in which I did 5 laps, 0 pull-ups, 24 men’s push-ups, and 58 sit-ups. There is a dance tonight and then Bless Patrol at 10:30 pm. God bless!

First Block Goals

My job in Housekeeping:
1. Learn to overcome laziness and work my mind while working (yes)
2. Learn the correlation between work and rest (yes)
3. Learn to discipline my life and be committed to do first thought whether I feel like it or not (yes)

Fitness for Living:
1. Lose my flab, especially in my arms (no)
2. Overcome my asthma (no)
3. Maintain good posture (no)
4. Overcome fatigue (yes)

Have the confidence by the end of the year to meet with the mayor or governor and expect to meet each of them.
