My cool job duty!

Above is a picture of Erin, Jessica, Hayley, and me, respectively, in the kitchen! We are doing our clean-up duties after dinner.


One of the coolest things about what I get to do here is cook. When we first arrived, our leaders informed us that we would each be receiving a specific job duty. Now. Although I was completely resolved to being content no matter what duty I was assigned, even cleaning the bathrooms, I have to admit, I was extremely satisfied when I learned that I would be helping to cook dinner everyday! And no, the food is not bad. It varies between basic Mexican and American dishes, depending on the menu for the week, and sometimes I learn to make things that I've never made before.


What else can I tell you about? This week our theme of study was entitled "The Nature and Character of God." It was interesting for me. We studied the differences between nature and character: nature being the specific attributes that are inherent to a being, and character being the ways in which those attributes are employed. God, therefore, as part of his nature, is all-powerful. But because he consistently chooses to use his power in a righteous way, we can say that his character is one of integrity. By nature, he has no limits. But his limitlessness, employed faithfully in a just way, proves a character of goodness. What a wonderful thing to count on!


Salmo 147:3-5
El Señor restaura a los abatidos y cubre con vendas sus heridas. Él determina el número de las estrellas y a todas ellas les pone nombre. Excelso es nuestro Señor, y grande su poder; su entendimiento es infinito.


Psalm 147:3-5
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
