What I liked

Mostly everything about this experience was incredible. It was a job that most of the time didn't feel like work because I was able to make even a small difference in many peoples' lives. This position was perfect for every part of my personality and the gifts that God has given me. Through my leading of evening activities and program elements like devotional times and the gathering, I was able to help others to enjoy themselves and connect them to God and I simply cannot see anything better than that. I way really able to grow as an individual and learn how to work as a part of a team and with those in a community different than my own.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was more time off to de-stress and focus on ourselves spiritually. There was always something that had to be done and we only got about a day and a half off between the weekends. I love that I was pushed, but towards the end it felt as if I was being pushed a little too hard and could have been more intentional with connections if I had gotten more rest.

Advice

One piece of advice is to be completely open going in. God can use you in any way He wants if you are open to it and do not have any expectations. Be your true self.
