SALTS trip

So this past week our group went on a 5 day sailing trip with SALTS. It was a really amazing time. We really got to know one and another through out night watches, shifts, and even together in the evenings when Jim would pop out a question for us. Our talks became quite deep during the second last and last night. Jim told us to name eachother with something that discribes that person. I got 2 names. Eager and Nurturer. It was really cool to see what everyone came up with for eachother. It kinda showed everyone what people have been seeing in eachother. I decided to be brave and name our male intern Jordan. I named him fearless due to some things that I have seen in him over the summer. It was so amazing to be able to see God work through each person. I've loved every moment of this experience so far. God's been doing some amazing things here already in the first 2 weeks, and there's a lot more to see. God's amazing in all that he has been doing.

Mt Albert-Edward hike

So for our first Kaleo out trip we went up a 7000 Ft mountain. It was a real stretch for some of us (me) but we all made it to the top. It was really cool to be able to see God help us get to the top. In the moments when we were like "ok God, I can't do it please help me" you'd get a burst of energy that would help you for a bit. While I was climbing the last stretch of the mountain I kept on saying over and over again Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength". It really helped me get past the final push up.

The scenery was breathtaking, and the result at the end of the trip, I ton of blisters and a bunch of sore backs............

But was it worth it? YES!

My New Church

So each Kaleo student gets to pick a church from about 6 different churches close to the camp. This was extremely hard to decide on, but I have chosen to go to Lake Cowichan Baptist. From what I've heard it's a church in need of a lot of prayer. It doesnt have a pastor at the moment, and the youth are from really tough backrounds. Today was my first time there and I enjoyed it. The congrigation was very small but quite friendly. I am working with 3 other students. Daneille, Jayme, and Jonathan. I'm really excited to see why God placed me there.

First post

Hey everyone, this is my blog for the year. This blog will inform you of what God has been doing in my life and how your prayers are supporting me even though you may be far away. I am so glad to finally be here at Kaleo. This year I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone really well as well as finding myself as a person and becoming a mature woman of God. I'm so excited to see what this year has in store for me. As I always like (and then hate) to say, Bring It On!
