Another intern

Those of you who followed our exploits last year may remember Matt the intern who worked with us. This year we have enjoyed the company of another intern, named Garrett. He has a degree in Latin American studies from OU and still lives in Oklahoma. Garrett's time here is supported by our denomination through the Division of Homeland Ministries. This was his first week here so he spent most of his time being oriented to the work of Southwest Good Samaritan ministries.
Even though he didn't work with us until today we tried to make him feel welcome by feeding him dinner each evening. I'm afraid that Sharon has set an awfully high bar for the groups that will follow us.
The Division of Homeland Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) sponsors several mission internships around the country, including Garrett's work here and the work of an OSU student named Kelsey who is spending the summer at the Yakima indian reservation. Your support of the larger church makes a difference in the lives of students like these, and in the lives of all those they work with and work for.
