Lately my internship has been teaching me a lot. Not just about how a church student ministry runs, but also about characteristics a great employee should have. For example, I'm learning to be more responsible, because I can't be late to my internship. I'm also better at communicating with professionals (like my mentor), because I have to let her know in advance if I can't make it to my internship. These types of qualities are what I'm learning all about, at my mentorship this year.
Just to recap what I've been doing at my mentorship recently... I've been making another copy of a folder full of information for planning the Girls conference (that just occurred a few weekends ago), Imprinted. I understand it's not the most glorious job at Lakewood, but I also know that I'm helping my mentor. She is moving this next week and wants to bring the original copy of this folder with her, in case she plans another Imprinted. However, she also wants to leave a copy of the folder here at Lakewood for when we hire another Girls Minister, in case she needs help planning Imprinted. As I copy every page of this folder, I remind myself that even the "boring" parts of my internship are imperative to the church. I know that one day my mentors replacement will (hopefully) be very grateful for the planing folder, and my mentor will be able to continue planning it where she moves. By making these copies now, I may be helping many girls across the country learn more about God because they'll be able to go to these conferences with the help of the planning folders.
