The world around me

I've been thinking a lot about being here. I've been looking back in our K6 blog and reading everyone's first post. I find myself laughing at them because how we were all trying to make our lives sound sweet to avoid the bad first impression. God's kind of been shaking my world up a bit and trying to make me look around and see where I actually am. Heh, it's been working really well. Being here at Kaleo is such a blessing from God. The people that he has brought into my life are amazing, and the leaders he chose for this year have really helped everyone by just being there for us to hang out with or talk to. I can't believe how much we have done already! The joy that it brings me when I look back on last year and remember how excited I was, and to now realize that I am here, surrounded by God, friends, and 4 amazing leaders is mindblowing! I'm so excited to see what God is going to do in and through me. I'm really looking forward to the next 6 months here. By December, half of my 16 month journey will be over! I can't believe that I've been at camp for 6 months already. It seems so much shorter. Pray for this next week, that everyone will get caught up on their homework and be able to stay focused on our work, yet still make time for eachother. Thanks everyone!


This past week was a really good one. We had our hermeneutics class which took a lot of brain jouce. It was really good though. We also had a milion passed kaleo students stop by to say hi which was sweet! Friday night was Halloween, and we had a sweet epic halloween party at youth. Haha, we put disgusting food in bowls, and they had to put their hand in it and guess what it was. It was gross. On saturday I finally got to sleep in and woke up and had an g=urge to go help out in the kitchen. So I went there and found out that one of the kitchen staff's grandpa had died unexpectedly the night before. So I told the FSM to let her leave and I'd take over for the rest of the afternoon and the next morning. So that felt good to be able to help out. I really enjoyed being able to hear what marrell taught us this week, and just to chill with the youth and help the kitchen out. This is a picture of us kaleo-ers at halloween. Have a great week!!!
