The next six weeks...
I'm being really stretched right now! Today is my first real day as a councillor for an ESL youth program, and I'm exhausted! Up at 7:30 to get people in to breakfast around 8, temporarily loosing 2 students, orientation, finding the 2 students (changed rooms without telling any councillors, slept in, and did not respond to our door knocking or yelling “HELLO! ANYONE IN THERE?”), ESL placement tests, lunch, campus tour (2 hours of walking!!!!), meeting 2 new students, dinner, ice breaker games, announcements for tomorrow's schedule, new batch of Taiwanese students to meet at 10pm tonight, give them an orientation and get them settled in...
The stretching part is being a leader when I have no idea what I'm doing! But it's all going relatively well, and I'm sure by the end of the week I'll have got the hang of it and the next 5 weeks won't be so hard. It's good though. Last night I laid in bed and all I could really do was thank God for what He's teaching me through this and how He's stretching me and helping me to grow into the best version of myself.

Sounds like a fabulous challenge! Have fun! (Try one of those blasting horn things to wake them up next time...)
I like that: "He's stretching me and helping me to grow into the best version of myself." No need to compare with others. Just be You, and embrace that process.
I think you are INCREDIBLE!!
