I got a job! And another one...

No, I'm not driving a combine! Let me explain first how farming works out here. It's totally different than back home. Farmers out here own so much land that they have to hire custom harvesters to help them cut their corn, milo, and sunflowers. These custom harvesters travel all over the US harvesting for different farmers. They bring all their own equipment, their own men, their own trailers... it's crazy. The custom harvester I'm working for, Carl and Karen (great people) needed help with lunches and laundry. Karen has to get 15 lunch buckets packed and taken out to the fields everyday, so I'm helping her. It's quite fun. It's only 8am to 1pm everyday except Sunday, but I really do like it, I've learned a ton about farming! Here's the twist - I had an interview at First National Bank here in town about 2 1/2 weeks ago - I thought they forgot about me. That's why I took the job with Carl and Karen. Of course, the bank calls yesterday and wants to hire me! I've worked out the hours so that I can do both, and I start at the bank on Monday! Since harvest only lasts until the beginning of November, the people at the bank were very gracious in letting me work the hours out so I can continue to help Karen. Ellie's sitter will be my friend Shana, the same girl who teaches the preschool class in her home. God just seems to be working out all the details, and I am so thankful!
