2 new housemates and a new staff person

It's been a busy week! L moved into the house on Saturday and K is moving in tonight. Then I will have a full house once again. :) Actually, it's been a while (since last fall) that I had this many people in the house, so it will be an adjustment, but I'm looking forward to it. K and L are both nice girls and we have good conversations. I doubt that we'll be lacking on great fellowship times.

I also finally completed the process of hiring someone to replace J. Thank God!! S. will be starting at the end of the month. It's nice to have this taken care of. It's never easy to hire new staff - it takes a lot of time, energy and prayer. In this case I spent 2 months interviewing. That's a long time - and a LOT of interviews. But God is good and he had me wait until the right person showed up. S. didn't apply until very late into my interview process. But he's an internal candidate, has 6 years of field experience, seems to be a man of God and has good character (from what I can tell from his references), so I think he was the best choice.

Now the fun process of cleaning out my old cubicle starts. Oh boy! I wasn't in that particular cubicle for very long....I was moved into that cubicle while I was in India. So I was there less than 2 months....now I need to take my stuff out and organize J's old stuff. Now the long process of training someone for this position starts....uff! That'll take at least 6 months!
