The internship is going well. I've been doing a LOT of translating, mostly written rather than verbally. I've been doing a lot of administrative stuff. It's not super exciting yet. But I also helped lead worship and I'll keep doing that. And I introduced myself--in Spanish!-- to the congregation on Sunday. And I work in their clothing room--they collect clothes and household items and then give them away for free to the people who come in. We went to Tunnel Park on Saturday to fellowship. It's all a little overwhelming, but that will get better as the weeks go by. It's also a little lonely, but that will get better too.
To this, my pastor-friend responded: Great! Sounds like normal church work! It's not super exciting most of the time. It's steady, get it done, faithfulness. You're already learning that.
Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
