Well I'm basically done with work for the week. It looks like I may do a half day tomorrow... just to make sure I'm getting some hours in and whatnot.
Also on the list for tomorrow is opening a bank account as well as finding walmart by the bus system. I need to buy a better security lock for my outside door as the girl who lived here before me stopped by and recommended it to me last night as she had a breakin. I am also looking into renter's insurance and will hopefully order that here shortly.
As far as my job, yesterday I joined the women's bible study on wednesday mornings. It is multi-generational which I think is really cool. My boss goes and invited me so I think I'll be attending that. I even signed up to lead at the end of Sept. and hopefully my job won't hinder me from doing that. I also ran some more errands to get me set up here, and started to look for scholarships that our residents might be able to apply for. I also set up some folders for files. Yay for office tasks for the missionary.
One thing that I am really looking forward to is Saturday night. I managed to finally find an emergent church that I can attend that isn't too far from here. The plus side is that their service is Saturday night as opposed to Sunday morning. The good thing about that is that I can still show up to do my job on Sunday morning. I've made contact with the pastor there and it sounds great. Seems to mostly draw college students, but looks like others too. At least young adults. Hopefully that will allow me to make some friends outside of my work sphere which will definitely be needed.
Well I think I'm gonna quit for the night on here. I'll have plenty to say about my adventures this weekend I'm sure.

I'm glad things are getting better in New Mexico. By the way, I will almost always refer to where you are as New Mexico because the town you are in is much too difficult for me to spell :) And you are in New Mexico, so I think it works out. Anyway, just wanted to say hello so that you don't forget about your friends in Illinois. :) Have a good weekend and good luck on your adventures!
