Hey everybody! I am currently in the NET Office. We finished
the training portion of training, so we spent yesterday doing the first retreat
as a team! They’re called practice retreats, but if they’re real retreats for real
students… are they really “practice?”
Anyway, our first retreat was great. We actually had the
chance to do a retreat with another team, which was so good! There’s a lot of
different things I’m responsible for which I’ve never actually done before so
it was so good to have another person to help me get that stuff done (and her
name is also Courtney so that was fun as well). I'm getting to know all the new ropes to the new services I've got!
But one of the coolest moments was at the beginning of the
day when I was helping sign people in and two of the students walked by. One of
them turned to me and said “Do you remember me?” The two students had been in
my small group at one of the retreats last year! I did not get a chance to
catch up with them unfortunately, but I was able to see them at times. I get to see them at a few different places on their faith journey. Which is so nice; when do you get a chance to meet somebody again on
the road! You never really know where they go. But this year I have had the opportunity to see so many people I had met
last year, and it makes me SO excited to be able to get to know the new community
down in Waterford! Last year I was able to meet people and work to get to know
them for a day. Now, I’ll have a chance to meet people and get to know them
throughout the year! The relationship does not end after the retreat. We’ll
have a chance to return to the school and keep working with the students. It’s
absolutely amazing!
Again, to everybody who has partnered with me, thank you so
much for the support! I really appreciate it, and it helps the mission work! If
you haven’t partnered with me financially yet, I encourage you to pray about
it! If you want, the link is www.netministries.ie/donate.
If you feel hesitant about donating online, contact either me or the NET office
for more info. But please keep praying! Pray for me and the Diocese of
Waterford & Lismore.
