Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Brother- prayed for me.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Hillside- Mankato. Children’s ministry. 1 year?

Cru- College Ministry- Mankato- 10 months.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Jake Mlsna brought the idea of me interning with Cru up, and he also told me to go to college wrestling practices. By attending practices, that led me to getting the desire to coach wrestling.

Getting 3rd place at state and talking to Jim Makovsky when I was in the hospital because of a strep infection.

Talking with a mentor. He brought up the idea of me volunteering with the wrestling team and gave me advice on subbing.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Family member having trouble with alcohol.

Getting 3rd place at state my senior year, and getting hurt my junior year.

Having a twin and feeling like everything I do I am compared with him.
