Sitting outside at home in New Hampshire with my big hat, book and ice tea I think I must look like the picture of happiness, and while I am very happy to be home I am also very much missing my friends back at Boston who are finishing up their internship. I was not able to finish with them because I am leaving for Texas for a wedding and rides made it impossible to get picked up in time unless I went home a day earlier than my flight. Anyways, enough with the excuses, I could not go to Texas without saying my utmost thanks to our internship leaders, but also to my fellow interns who I have learned so much from. Starting out we were all so different but as we got to know each other we not only realized our amazing abilities to waddle like penguins but also our ability to put our differences aside and realize our common goal was to show Gods love to people and do our best to follow him. I know that I have learned a lot this internship, and I am excited to try and work on all these things the rest of the summer. I think something I learned is that God can seem really complicated, and it can be really hard to try and figure out why he wants us to do things. But thats just us being human and complicating things. God is pretty simple. He loves us. But not just the love that we think we know, or the love that we feel for others. No, God loves us perfectly, and guides us perfectly because well... he's perfect. I know this seems really obvious, but I've learned to trust God this summer, and its only because I've learned how perfectly trustworthy he is.
To my fellow penguins, I am so thankful and I have really enjoyed being challenged by you and also just to have you as four new friends!
Love,
Alexis
