Thursday

One more day of conference! Today the conference members are attending a day of site seeing at a nearby island. I heard there was some nervousness about the ferry ride there but hopefully all went well. Its been unusually rainy this week but hopefully they were still able to enjoy their time. I finished reading the book 'Leadership Paradox' which gave excellent principles for anyone in Christian Leadership (really in any leadership position). I also had a good talk with Jeremy, the man leading my 'equip' leadership training. He has asked me to be a part of the track that is geared towards those who are going to lead DTS or a base, it includes one extra night of classtime and extra reading. I'm up for the challenge and can definitely see that part of God calling me here is to use the time to sharpen my ministry skills and tackle those personal issues that need growing/healing etc.... Ive sprayed my room for cockroaches after another exciting episode including a cockroach. Only this time my fellow staff , Luke, stepped in to try and save the day. Unfortunately the cockroach took up house in my underwear drawer -AKWARD! So the spraying took place yesterday and I haven't seen any since then. I guess the 'trailer' is known for them. I also saw a lizard in the living room today.... i may be closing my door more regularly from here on out. I'm looking forward to my leadership training starting Sunday night! Here is one more picture from St Croix, near Fredricksted.
