Start of the Second Year

It's so hard to believe that I'm in my second year, and not just in it but going full force already. We've had some classes, rehearsals, meetings and all the things that make up our day to day lives here at the college. It has been fantastic to get to know the Friends of Christ as they have joined us here at the college even through the little pang as we miss the Prayer Warriors who are now out in their first appointments. I am very excited about what is in store for me and my fellow cadets over the course of this year.

I found out today that I will be attending the Winnipeg East church here and am looking forward to getting started on my field placement there. I think I need to stop by my mid-week location from last year to say hi though as I miss the fun times I had there. You certainly start to learn about leaving people behind in your training as we go in a small way from appointment to appointment. For me I especially notice things like that now as I miss the folks from my summer assignment in Robert's Arm and as I look towards June and my first appointment.

Of course for us in our session right now the big countdown is on to finding out and then leaving for our first appointment but, I oddly, don't wish the time away. I enjoy the opportunities present at the training college and the environment here. Even though I'm so excited about June I know just how fast this year will go, so I will savour what time I have left here.
