Today was an absolutely beautiful day in Denver. I am excited to share a few new things with you all tonight!
First of all, today is Friday, which means I have one day left in the beautiful city of Denver, and RAMP is coming to an end.
This week has taught me so much about the incredible believers and brothers and sisters I have in Christ out there. So, i'm gonna share about some of these incredible people. (:
On monday when I arrived at RAMP I met Colleen. Colleen is a site director at our sister site Pine Ridge 1. She is such an encouragement and has this spirit that could only be given by God. It's incredible. She has such a kind and gentle heart and our friendship, though just starting, is growing. It pits me at ease knowing my friend is just down the street from me and I know she is praying/supporting me, as am I for her. I feel so blessed by Colleens heart this week.
Also, one of our area directors names is Peter. Peter is actually the one who hired me and has helped me start this journey. Just when I was feeling down about my placement and my position Peter wrote me a note of encouragement that instantly lifted my spirit and gave me some confidence.
One thing I have loved about RAMP so far is that Monday was a lot like arriving at a mission trip site on a sunday...you are thrown into a new place with totally new people! However, you could totally see God right at work as people were bonding instantly. I have met Colleen, Wendy, Zach, Tyler, Brad, Heather, Leah, Victoria and so many other sweet God glorifying people. Meeting these sweet friends is seriously the best encouragement because having believers
With a common goal/heart to build you up is really indescribable. I am so thankful for the impact they have had in my RAMP experience.
So here's a funny story for you all. Tonight we had area time. This is where the 4 sites in our area meet with our area director Jordan (who's hilarious) and talk and do ice breakers. Tonight we played a game called "fishbowl." Basically, you write any random word or phrase down, put it in a bucket and you draw one out. There are three rounds. 1. You can say anything to describe the word to your partner. 2. You have to act it out 3. You can use one word to help them guess it. Here's the catch, after round one you throw all the written down words or phrases back into the bucket for the acting portion. So if you pay attention in round one it can help you on 2 and three. Anyway one of the words was "elephant in a miniature skirt." My partner of course drew this word and i knew what it was because it had been guessed earlier, but i thought they had said "elephant miniascure" which clearly isn't a word, but i had no idea! Haha! So, in front of the group i yelled that and they all died laughing. Needless to say it was not miniascure but miniature. I never have laughed so hard.
Today was just a great day of learning and fellowship! I can't wait to share more stories as my summer progresses but as for now i am heading to bed.
Good night everyone.
I love you all.
