Sooooooo, I've been living in North Myrtle Beach (NMB), South Carolina, for about two weeks now. I live in a space with 5 other girls. There are around 80 students and 30 staff living here as well. Here are some FAQs about my time in SC!
1. What are you even doing in South Carolina?
I'm on a mission trip with Cru, which is a Christian campus ministry on my campus. I'm here with the U of Minnesota, along with other schools such as NDSU, SDSU, Iowa, and Wisconsin. We're here to tell these vacationers about Jesus and serve the community in any way that we can!

2. "Tell people about Jesus"? You mean shove religion down their throats?
Lol no. We want to be positive examples in this community, and to show others the love of Jesus through both our words and actions. This could mean taking our coworkers out to lunch, taking the 5AM shift at work to make it easier for our managers, praying for the city of NMB, or being a listening ear to strangers.

3. What the heck, you work at McDonald's?!?!
Yes, I work full time at McDonald's. I have the visor, the permanent smell of french fries, the whole nine yards. Like I said, we're here to serve the community, so we took jobs that people aren't exactly lining up for. It's been great fun! 14 other people from Cru work at McDonald's with me, and our local coworkers are awesome. 10/10 would recommend.

4. Why won't you text me back?!?!
Oh ya know, full time job, full time ministry, full time service... it's a little busy here wink emoticon. Please don't be offended if I don't text/call/facetime you as much as I thought I'd be able to, the schedule here is super nuts-o all the time!

5. What's it like in South Carolina?
Hot. Usually around 85. And so dang humid. Everything is damp ALL THE TIME- pillow and sheets, clothes, book pages- always semi-soggy. Yuck. I'm LOVING the warm weather, but not so much the humidity smile emoticon
The ocean is less than a minute's walk away from where I live, so I go every single day! It's so beautiful. Love love love.
Also, sweet tea. With probably about 80% of the orders at McDonald's, a large sweet tea is added. It's crazy!

I love you guys and am so thankful for all the support you give me, through prayers, finances, and lovin'! Call or text anytime and I'll get back to ya as soon as you can smile emoticon
Thanks a million for reading through that novel! Much, much love
