Jubilee Day 1

I am on the clock now! That means that I have in fact made it to the Boston area for my internship.

I started my day early by getting dropped off at the airport by my mom. Security at South Bend regional airport is way easier than anything else I've been through recently. I had a layover in Detroit. I slept through both of my flights which was fine with me. I did bring a guitar with me which was not as big of an issue as I thought it might have been. Only forgot a few small things like a hamper for laundry and shampoo for the shower. I have really learned how to pack quickly and efficiently with all the traveling I have been up to. Today was not so much about me though. Today was a day of introductions and first impressions.

At Logan Airport in Boston Pastor Reid picked me up in his pickup truck and brought me to his home. I had met Pastor Reid back in March, and had even been to his home and church. I had not however met his family. I met two of his four sons and his wife. They are all very welcoming in their own ways. It's just beginning to dawn on me that I will be living here with them for 68 days. I pray this continues to go well. I shared two meals with the family already. Lunch and dinner were both good. I thank God he put me here. I share interests with everyone I have met in the family so far. Also the Reid's just recently bought a puppy. There are now two dogs in the house. It'll be great seeing their pup grow up while I'm here. Yes I will take pictures. Tomorrow there is a funeral. I'm not sure how to approach this. The man had gone to the church for over 30 years. More to follow.

Blessings!
