Well were finally here in Arizona. So far its been some good times. Yesterday we drove to Las Vegas and stayed at the Excalibur Hotel. And walked the strip and checked out the Cesears Palace and the Belagio. I think the highlight of the night was either the cheesecake, from the Cheesecake factory, that I ate (it was amazing, im a fan).Or the fountain light show that we saw at the Belagio. So that was basically Vegas. Then this morning we woke up and drove to Utah, to this place where we rented inner tubes and rode down the river in them. That was actually pretty sweet, the view was amazing, having the canyons just right there. That was definitely something I enjoyed, some of the views I saw today were absolutely breath taking. And seriously you really can’t beat going down a river and playing around with friends, acting like little kids. =0) Well so after we did that, we hit up lunch and then headed out to the Zion national park. Which was an adventure in it self. It was amazingly beautiful! That’s all I have to say about that. So after we were done playing around and hiking up some sweet rocks we headed off to Page, Arizona. This is where we’re staying for that night. So today is our kickback/relaxing day before we head of to the reservation tomorrow. All in all im pretty pumped to go to the reservation tomm. , im ready to just kinda dive in, ya know. Im excited to see what God has in store for us there. Well I should probably head off to bed, but hope you all are doing great. I don’t know if ill be having internet connection while im there. But if you need to get a hold of me or just wanna chat it up and give me some luv ill have my phone so give me a call and hopefully ill have reception. If not you can leave a sick message for me to hear when i get home =0). Well kids, hope you all have a sweet week; you will all be in my prayers. Im looking forward to getting home and catching up on what you all have been up to. Well chat with yall soon, k. ciao. =0)

So im finally home, back here in California. I have to admit that the last couple of days have been a nice break for me. There’s nothing like sleeping in your own bed, let me tell ya. And being able to hang out with fam. and friends has been pretty sweet. But for the first couple of days I was home, it just felt weird, not seeing everyone from CO. I guess that when you spend every waking minute with friends for two weeks and then a separated from them, you are bound to feel kinda weird at first. And in all truthfulness I really do miss everyone. I can’t wait to start planning some trips and go visit peeps, it should be sweet. And also, I guess just everything about my time in Colorado in general was just such an experience that its strange being away from there. And there’s definitely a lot of thought processing that I need to do from all that I learned there. =0) So glad I have about 2 months left of summer before school starts up again, hopefully ill be able to have tons of down time to do it.

Well so now that im home from Colorado and have been able to rest and catch up on stuff. Now im off again on another adventure, I leave for Arizona in a couple of hours. Im going with TTT, (which is PH’s graduating Seniors/student leaders), on their last trip with PH before they head of to college. So we’re actually going to Arizona to go work/ help out at a Navajo reservation, so im pretty stoked about that. There’s not a whole lot of information that I have on what we’re actually going to be doing there, that’s partially my fault ( blame it on my bad memory) =0/. But I can say that im just really looking forward to the trip and what God is going to be showing us through it. My hope and prayer is that we’re able to have a safe trip, sweet times, and are able to allow ourselves to listen to whatever God has in store for us and to take it to heart. It should be Sweet! So with that my friends I bid you a good nite, and ill be talking with you soon. I’ll be sure to post on what we’re up to while we’re in Arizona. Well good nite, ciao.

So here I am, at the end of my 2 weeks in Colorado. Im actually pretty sad that it’s over. I woke up this morning and was able to hang out with friends before we all flew out, and I was amazed at how close I grew to some of these people in just two weeks. It’s been such a blessing to be able to be put in a situation where you know no one and by the end of your time together you can truly say that some of those friendships built will be ones that well last forever. It was really such an honor to have gotten the opportunity to get to know those girls. They reminded me that its okay to be vulnerable, that life is better lived when lived together; they inspired me to be a better person. They accepted me for who I was, but at the same time pushed me to dive deeper into who I am. They defiantly gave me a lot to think about. =0). So thanx girls, your awesome! What I also liked about Colorado was the fact that I was able to get away and be able to process some stuff God’s put on my heart. There is so much ive learned, from all the crazy outdoor stuff, to the late night talks, to all those little moments that will forever stay with me. So my hope and prayer is that as I leave here, I take with me everything that ive learned and experience and not just look back on it as a good experience but as a time that’s refined me to be the person im mean t to be. So yes, im looking forward to go home and sleep in my own bed and hang out with peeps back home, but im sad to leave this place, these people who have meant so much to me. But im almost positive ill see them all again, so I aightn’t trippen =0).
Well that’s about it, hope you all are good. Chat with you soon & God Bless.
Ciao.

this is me on top of that mountain i was talking about. And theres the Rockies in the background. Isn't that sweet. Well thought id share in the coolness of the picture. aite im done now, good nite. you all are awesome, ciao.
 

So can i just say i love it here. Im begining to understand why God wanted me to come here on this project. And its only the third day. i feel like ive been here for so much longer. Its amazing to meet with people from all over the country and just right of the bat have something in common with them.That even though we never knew each other before this we still are family, we have something thats bonded us thats greater than anything else. We are all here becasue Gods called us to be here. And to meet with these people and get to know them is just amazing. They are my brotheres and sisters and the very fact that i get to spend the next 2 weeks just growing closer and seeing what really matters to them, just rocks my socks off. =) they really are pretty rad. And whats even more amazing is that i know God is doing some amazing things here. And im excieted to see what it is that he's going to show me. So yeah, i can say im having a pretty sweet time over here. Im the most tired ive been in a long time, but its definatly worth it. Actually today we went on a 6 hour hike, i thought i was gunna pass out half way up the rock. I think the thing that got me the most was the elevation, little old me is coming for sea level and here i am trying to climb 2000 feet in 2.5 miles. It was definatly a challenge, but it was definatly worth it. By the time i got up to the top and was able to see that awesome view of the Rockies and all the mountains, i forgot about all my aches and pains and was just in awe of just how beautiful and breathtaking it all was. I felt so small compared to everything around me, it was definatley humbling to see all these beautiful things God created. And know that He is in control. I dont know what it is about nature that just geting me, but it always does. So that was something id definatly do over again if i had the chance, it was pretty sweet. So now im definatly looking foward to a day of rest tomm, i have a feeling ill be hurting a bit, but im sure ill be good. And then i officially start classes on monday, with the first week doing Old Testament survey along with Bible Doctrine. Im actually pretty excieted to jump in and just start up some of these classes. So yeah, thats a little about whats going on with me the last couple of days. Hope you all are doing good. i do miss you all, but im sure you all are just having a sweet time. But ill be writing on and off to check and and tell ya whats new with me. Well good nite, im off to go play some capture the flag. It should be sweet! well talk to you all soon. ciao.
