Well, it's been over a week, but I am glad to finally announce that JJ has been placed for vicarage at Mt. Calvary Lutheran church in Brookings, South Dakota. Yes, it's ironic that my brother got sent to SD for his vicarage, and now I'm going there too; but no, it's not the same church he was assigned. Brookings is home to South Dakota State University, so JJ will be doing a lot of campus ministry work as well as some parish duties. The church has acquired a house a half a block from the church in which we will be staying. I'm so excited to have a house for a year! The church looks wonderful, and everyone has been super nice so far. We are very excited to get started. We will be moving up there in early July, and hopefully the weather will still be nice...for a bit. I am nervous about spending a year in a very, very cold place. I am going to need to invest in some cold weather gear, but first I need to figure out what cold weather gear is (in Florida, cold weather gear means a sweater and socks). But I will survive! And either way, I'm looking forward to everything this vicarage year will hold.
