Happy New Years Everyone! Well I hope you have all said goodbye to last year and are all feeling good about the year ahead. I know I am. I started off the new year at a wonderful place called staff retreat. Here's a picture from our banquet.
Already it's been an interesting experience for the year. The morning of Jan 1st me and 10 other guys jumped into the ocean for a sec for the polar beat swim. It had just snowed so the ground was freezing and it took like 5 hours to warm up fully again. It was torture! But I loved it. Later on that night I went on the ferry to visit a friend on the mainland. While seeing her God gave me a huge opportunity to help out her and her sister with a family situation that rose up. It was really cool that God brought me there at that time to be with her and her sister. 
After a few days it was time to go back to Kaleo. I went home for a few hours to finnish my homework and see my parents one more time, unfortunately 5 min before I am about to head back to Kaleo, the malahat gets closed due to snow! So I got to spend an extra night at home then got picked up by the interns the next day. It's really good to be back.
During staff retreat, one of my youth girls came cause she was working a week in the summer time. It was cool to see her there. She's been struggling with life and it was really encouraging to see her come to camp instead of go to a party and find herself in trouble. She is applying for CIT which I think she could really use. Im so excited to see where God takes her this summer. She's been climbing out of a ditch and isn't doing to badly. It's been a blessing from God to watch her grow through her life experiences. It brings me back to when I was her age, and how I didnt think about the future much, how everything in the now was so dramatic, and growing closer to God was at the end of my life list. It's cool to see.
This week our classes started up again. Theology of Mission. Don't ask me what it's about cause I don't fully know yet hahaha. Pray for focus and energy for not just me but the whole class as we will have a LOT of homework to do soon. I'm excited to learn what this is about, our prof. seems pretty cool. other than that, not much is happening. Keep in touch everyone. I'd love to hear from you. God bless!!!
