The times they are a changin......

Well yesterday the last person left, who was in this group to leave; and it's only been 24 hours, but I can already tell that him not being here has a weird effect on the house and the Shelter.  I'm glad that he was my last goodbye for a little while, but at the same time I miss all the ones that have gone.  I've never been good with change or goodbyes, so it's something that I guess I need to learn how to deal with.  I know that we'll all see each other again one day in Heaven, so that's something to look forward too.  It's interesting how some people are just supposed to be in your life for a moment, but yet they make a great impact on how your life is shaped.  I very much feel that the people I met here and the friendships I've made have shaped me and will continue for a while.

Today I started training one of the girls on how to be a Cleaner Supervisor.  It was so much fun!  I tried not to overwhelm her, but I'm sure I did.  I remember how crazy my first day was.  I took her around the hostel and showed her where everything is and how we use it.  Then we worked on some of the computer programs that we use.  Tomorrow I'm going to show her our reservation software and how to book beds for cleaners.  I'm really enjoying it, but I'm just a little worried cause sometimes I don't have the most patience.  I just pray that God fills me with a kind heart and the ability to repeat myself and not get annoyed.  She's a really quick learner, so I'm not too worried.  Tomorrow we work on some more things and then she is two days with another girl.  I'm currious to see how differently we train and do things in the hostel.
