Hello Everyone,
Since my last post, Cross Fire has been working on adding Prosper to our team. At Living Springs Lutheran Church in Columbia, South Carolina, we did a preschool program. It was good for Prosper see us do our preschool program so he was ready to join in on our next on. Since Heather and Prosper joined us on Monday night, we have spent a lot of time adjusting him to team (rehearsal, relationship building, job training, etc.). Thursday, we traveled on to Pooler, GA to Abundant Life Church. We are in the midst of a one week stay in Pooler, which is a rare length to stay in one place. It has been both fun and challenging to stay in one place for so long after being used to going to a new place every one, two, or three days.
Adding Prosper to our team has been easier than I expected. Prosper is a very fast learner. Prosper plays drums (djembe) and other percussive instruments including many kinds of shakers; he also plays a bit of guitar. The unique African sound that he brings to our group is really excited. It is awesome to have a drummer from Africa given that the djembe (see left) originated in West Africa. Thankfully, our rehearsals with Prosper have further encouraged others to learn new instruments. I am excited for my teammates to learn guitar so that I can learn the drums for a change in instrument. It was nice to have Heather here to help Prosper fit into our team and we really enjoyed her musical input.
While in Pooler, we also spent a fair amount of time talking about team stuff. We talked about our personalities, our spirituality types, and our conflict resolution styles. We also had a much needed discussion about how we thought things were going so far. Each of us got the chance to meet with Heather to talk about how things have been going. Sadly, Heather left us on Friday.
Here in Pooler, we have done a variety of things at Abundant Life; we have sat in on a Bible study, done a family night program, played at a nursing home, led a youth program, led Sunday worship for Reformation Sunday, and gone to a community wide Reformation service. Pastor Seth has been great; he led a really go devotion for our team.
Today is our day off! Since we are near Savannah, we will be going downtown on the river walk today. Hopefully, we will also have time to go to the beach. Today, we get to use our team outing money--money from Youth Encounter to go out and have fun together (once a month).
We are all very excited!!
Wednesday, we head to the Atlanta area for family night program.
I hope you are all doing well!
Peace,
Tiffany
