Hello everyone!
Sorry for the late post today - my computer has been at the Mac/Apple store this week for some renovations and I JUST got it back today! But because I haven't had my computer, I haven't been able to work on arranging and recording music this week - especially since my computer is the only one that has the programs and software for that. And plus, my mentor/worship pastor was still on vacation this week. So, it definitely has been a pretty relaxing week!
I actually only went into the office on Wednesday and Thursday, and worked from home on Friday - still managed to work about 15-20 hours this week though! Since I got my computer back at noon today, I didn't feel the need to go to the office - a good 20-minute drive - and decided to just catch up on work that I had missed at home. I mostly finished the orchestra music that I have been trying to arrange...I just need to add a few touches to it for expressions and dynamics - my project for next week.
When I went into the office this week though, I still did my weekly tasks of stuffing bulletins and taking care of the order of services for the pastors for Sunday. I also cleaned the communion trays from this past Sunday - which actually took a little longer than I thought, but they did get cleaned! Then, I decided to help out my worship pastor by getting all the music ready for Sunday since I think he just got back tonight and I don't want him to be too stressed out at the early morning sound check/rehearsal on Sunday morning.
This week, I also led Thursday's orchestra rehearsal and it went very well! Unfortunately, only half of the members were able to attend because the youth were at a church camp this week, but we still managed to polish different spots in the music in preparation for our performance on Sunday, July 15th. I'm excited that everything is coming along so well!
All in all, even though it has been a pretty relaxing week, it has also been a productive week. I got some work done and I can't wait to do more things and even face more challenges in the rest of my internship when my pastor comes back from vacation next week!
Oh, and one last thing...practicing has been much better these past 2 weeks since I wasn't at the office as much. I'm finally able to feel a bit more at ease with my own responsibilities as a music student. Although my repertoire is not up to a point where I want it to be, it is definitely coming along and I am very encouraged by the progress I am making right now! Hopefully it continues to be this way! :)
Thanks again for your constant support and prayers. I say this in every post, but I truly appreciate it!
In Christ,
Andrea
