The girls in front of the White House
From the time that Jess set foot in Virginia, she has been off and running! After settling into her new townhouse, and beginning her new job, she has had various opportunities to go into Washington, D.C. She was invited to The Kennedy Center for the 2008 Presidential Scholars Awards in which various students performed various instruments. She said they put her to "shame." haha... During the first week of work, her group did some volunteering at a Day Care, which they had a great time doing. Everyone really enjoyed the day.
The 4th of July, she and 5 other girls from Taylor went to D.C. for the fireworks. They went to dinner and viewed the fireworks that night. Above, is a picture from that night.
Jessica has also been attending a church in Reston. Right from the beginning, she wanted to get involved in the young professional group there. She has also been asked if she would like to take part in the worship band there as well, which she was very excited about. All of you know just how much she enjoys her music! :) The group also meets on Tuesday nights for a Bible study time and a worship time, which she has really enjoyed.
Jessica will be flying to Chicago on Saturday for two weeks for more training at the home office. Pray for safety and for her to keep her focus on all the learning she will need to do during this time.
