Adventures in St. Louis

I have successfully finished my first week here at International Head Quarters!  It's amazing how much can change in just one week!  I am so blessed to be here.  The people I work with are amazing, our office has lots of laughter and fun but we still get lots done.  This week started a new chapter in my life and after week one I am even more excited about what the future holds. 

Yesterday Rachel (my 'boss' or supervisor) Brendan (other intern) and I went out for the day to St. Louis.  We went to this AMAZING place called the city museum.  It is the entire building shown in the picture plus the roof.  There is a school bus hanging off the roof a ferris wheel two water towers and just a lot of little things. 

On the inside it's like a child's dream come true (or adult's in our case).  Everything is made from found material.  There are different areas and everywhere you go there are these holes and nooks and cranny's that you think can't possible be anything but they are!  They lead to different rooms, different sites and new places.  Some are dark and you can't see your hand in front of your face and some are bright with blinking red lights.  This is Brendan in one of the MANY holes we found.

We had so much fun hanging out and acting like kids and goofing off with one another.  The place is open till 12AM on Saturday nights and you are aloud to leave and come back.  So we left for dinner and then came back to go onto the roof.  We got back and on the roof at the most perfect time because it was right when the sun was setting.  We are on the roof of an 11 story building and the sun looks like it's eye to eye with us.  It was absolutely beautiful.

Friday we at lunch we were told that laughing was good for the soul.  My response was "well then my soul is pretty solid!" 

I am so blessed by these two that I get to work with, I know things will get harder and sometimes I'm sure I won't like them (and them me rightfully so) but we share a common desire to share Jesus with the lost and with the children of the world and that will get us through whatever forks in the road we might come to.
