The first Quarter of the year here in Kona is coming to a close. As the second quarter starts, working in the Student Services office provides me with a great idea of what the quarter is going to look like as far as numbers go. Right now we are going to have the largest quarter here in Kona EVER! As I write this we have currently accepted 321 students. Although this is a lot of students it is also a blessing for me because I will be able to work duty slots easier and not have to worry about shortages.
As I start taking on the roll of Work Duty Coordinator, more and more I start to feel at peace with this whole situation. Because the more students we have come to Kona, the more work duty spots will be filled, making my life just a little simpler. I am even having to start to think about where I am going to put the over flow of students. Having extra hands always makes for lighter work.
As far as community goes, it has been such a blessing. I am enjoying all of my roommates, even though at times living with six guys might seem like living with six...guys. I think you can imagine what I am trying to say here. But I love the community life and living with more people is better than less. Six people in the room is better than the one other guy that was there when I got here.
Lately I have been running into a lot of people from Washington, which is shocking and amazing at the same time considering that according to Gallup Poll (http://www.gallup.com/poll/114022/State-States-Importance-Religion.aspx) Washington is ranked as the sixth least religous state in the nation. Although I don't believe in religon and I believe that the spirit of religion is what crucified Jesus, it kind of gives you an idea of what we are looking at in Washington. Let me get to what I was really saying, I have met about 15 or more people from the Puget Sound area, including about 6-8 from Tacoma/ Gig Harbor/ Fox island. It just amazes me what God is doing in our state and those he is bringing out here. So, I am not alone out here in Kona.
I am looking forward to keeping you all up to date as the quarter goes on and as things progress towards this summers’ DTS.
