The WOW Factor

One of the many things I have seen around
town. I am attending the Church in the back
right Immaculate Conception.

 I'm Here!!! I arrived in Fairbanks on Sat. the 2nd of April and that same day I found out that there was a Catholic Church within a half mile from where I am living so I thought that the right way to start my adventure would to go to church. I found out that they have confession before mass on Sat. so I went to that before hand, it was wonderful I still feel like a new man. Before church started I pulled out my mass journal and asked God to show me one way in this mass I can become the best version of myself this week, then I pulled out my note book and wrote down a little prayer "Jesus show me the light today at mass, shine your glory on to me so I can go and glisten and pray that people ask me how do I glow so bright and I can tell them about You and all the wonder-us  gifts you have gave me. Amen. Matthew Kelly was the one that told me to ask Jesus to show me that one thing to become the best version of myself and during the beginning of Mass it hit me like a ton of bricks  I felt like got truly wants me to do more to get the message out to others the one main word that kept hitting me through out the mass was light. Jesus kept presenting that word to me over and over all the songs had the word light and the priests homily was about it also.

Immaculate Conception was established here
 in Fairbanks when the town was back in 1901

For the past few days I have been getting out and exploring Downtown Fairbanks, its a nice little town, they have 3 restaurants and one small block for shops but everybody I talk to tells me welcome and hope I like it here. I have not yet made any friends yet but I think that will change soon. I have an HR orientation on Friday where I can meet some people I will be working with so maybe we can start hanging out. I have a meeting with a lady over at the Diocese of Fairbanks building tomorrow after 2pm which should be nice my parents and I were in contact with her before I left SC to maybe meet some people out here before I got here. So that should be fun she has also made her Cursillo weekend so I hope we can try and have group reunion each week that would be cool. I haven't ventured out of the city limits yet I hope to be able to do that soon I would love to see a moose or even a bear or something, anything would great. I cant wait till the people I have been talking to over the phone that I will be working with get here at the end of the month and early May.
