So today my call team was working - obviously since we were at work. My supervisor had been gone for two weeks and today was her first day back so we were all really striving to do our best and make her proud ya know. Then we're sitting at our little cubicle/desks and she tell us all to "Get off the phone right now. If your talking to someone tell them you'll call back later."
So we were all really really apprehensive about what was going on and scared that we were in trouble or something. Then our manager and my supervisors boss comes up and talks to her more (they'd been in a meeting before she came out and told us to stop calling). So then we go in one of the big offices and like sitting there, all staring at each other like scared/unsure puppies. Our manager Mr. Hart popped his head in and just said "I'm proud of you guys, your truely awesome." Then we sat there for awhile before Ms. Skirving my supervisor *finally* tells us whats up. Turns out, my call team and another one of the teams from Global Expeditions Call Center Promotions (where we work) had been temporarly put on a different calling job. So for the rest of October we will be working as Aquire the Fire callers. We'll be calling youth pastors everyday and signing them up to go to our ATF events. It's really weird. We have to switch shifts too. I'm B shift right now - basically everyone i know on campus is B shift - we really don't get to see A shifter's that often because they work mornings B shift works afternoon and nights. So now we are going to be A shift as well. So that means waking up in the morning before all my roommates and leaving for work before they do! So we probably won't be seeing much of each other for the rest of October...sadly. We'll see each other at nights of course in the room, but that's basically it. But it's pretty exciting. Like, these two teams were hand picked out of all the call centers on this campus. ATF is really struggling, events aren't getting sold, seats are empty and the season has just started. So they've recruited (i totally ruined the spelling of that) us to help fill the seats and call more youth pastors and pastors everyday. I feel blessed. Like, i know God has called us to switch our jobs temporarily for a reason. Something great is going to happen, we just have to be obedient and let Him do His thing! lol But yea, nevertheless it's going to be difficult so prayers are definately appreciated and welcomed! We're going to have to be trained tomorrow on how to call for ATF. So i'll be facing the world at 9am instead of ....gosh i think we had class at 12 yesterday so i wouldn't have had to get up for awhile! Tuesdays are usually sleeping in days for B shifters!
But yea anyhow - i wanted to share my exciting news with you all. It will be a journey - i can't wait to see what's at the end of the road!

Time for an update?
Well since i've done justice in neglecting my poor blog - i've decided to spend some quality time just to update it.
Life has been pretty good lately. Time seems to be going by so fast, yet at the same time days drag on for hours. I'm so excited for mama, daddy and the girls to be here next weekend! You have no idea how excited i am for that! So i'll get to stay with them at the hotel all weekend long. My roommates and core mates are all going to be in Houston having quality time down there, and i will be livin it up with the fam.
We have intramural sports here at the Honor Academy. Right now it's football season! Well, flag football. But it's so much fun! I haven't been able to play because of my knees, but it's fun watching too. Our brother core plays, and then my whole RD group is a team as well. We're called TPS (The Pilgrim Society). Everyone calles us the Toilet Paper Sisters though...:( lol how sad. It's funny because TPS is so hardcore - they've done amazing. We've won everygame so far. But yea, it's so much fun to get into the games and put on face paint, wear the teams colors and scream like a fool.
But that's it for the sports side of intern life.
Work is going well. I got my very first application the other day. I was so stinking pumped. I get a lot of people "wanting" to go but no one has ever been like "I don't care about anything else, i know i'm called to go to this country so i'm going." And i got a girl like that Friday afternoon, so she'll be going to Autralia for a month next July!
I helped out with the 1 and 2 year olds at church this morning. It was pretty great, but i'll admit - i missed being in the actual service. The church i go to is called CCF - Community Christian Fellowship. It's the church that Paul Baloche leads worship at. You may not know his name, but i'm sure you've heard and sung his songs before. "Above All", "Open the Eyes of My Heart", just to name a few - plus he's won a Dove award before. So yea, i love the worship at CCF. It's not like it's a big church either...it's kind of small actually. I know a lot of interns don't like going there because soooo many interns DO go there, or they don't like the services - but it fits me perfectly so i'm going to stick with it!
I haven't been able to put pictures up very often. My computer at work only lets me put like a few pictures on the hardrive before it freezes up. So my roommate Savanah put all the pictures on her laptop and we put all of them on the internet yesterday. So feel free to check them out whenever you feel like it. We'll be putting pictures on this site all year round so if you're ever bored, with nothing to do, check our photo album out!

Mama and Daddy are bringing my laptop when they come so i'll really be able to bombard ya'll with pictures! Thank you Jesus! I miss being on good computers. Not that the office comps aren't good...they just stink when it comes to pictures and such.
I'm not sure if we're going to be doing anything right now... i really feel like going to the sno cone shop and watching a movie or something, or maybe i'll read. I'm not quite sure. What i *am* sure of though is that i LOVE the weekends!!! They just end to soon!
