Finally after a year and a half of working here and with only a week to go we have more young people on staff! I'm so excited to be working with some people who are in my age bracket. The added bonus is that Ted and Melanie are great young adults. Both have beautiful spirits and very compassionate hearts. They are serving as summer interns and will be working on campus in June and July. The Summer Intern program is another one of the young adult programs offered by the United Methodist Church. So they, like me, were appointed to work here by the General Board of Global Ministries. Ted and Melanie have actually been around for a week, but I've kept forgetting to take their picture to add to this post and thus the delay. Over the week I have happily learned that we all share a passion for social justice work, an affinity for Disney films (childhood favorites include The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast and new favorites Ratatouille and Finding Nemo), experience playing woodwinds in our high school marching bands, and a tendency to laugh uncontrollably in worship (hopefully that was just a one time thing). As there is very little to do in Baldwin during the week, we've spent a good bit of time together. I also gave them a tour of Lafayette this weekend-- Super Target, Barnes and Noble, and Zeus, a Greek and Lebanese cafe.
Just, Margaret
P.S. I've added a link to Ted's blog on the list to the right.
