First off Happy Birthday Mom! I wish I could be there for all of the fun tonight but I have you here with me today.
Keeping updated is going to be the hardest thing for me in this new season at STN. I know the reason it is going to be hard is because I am no longer just an intern going here there and having to soak it all up but having no real responsibilities. Life changes. Now I am doing the leadership school thing, helping our surf outreach and helping out media team (loads of work) but loving it.
Just the other day The Eddie was supposed to go on and if you don't know what that is, look it up -- it's a big deal. So with the need to be there super early because of the surf traffic a few of us camped over night to beat the traffic and just get out in God's creation. It was amazing. I can't even explain it. God totally knows how to romance me - it was a tough weekend for me and this was the best present ever.A night under the stars (even if it did rain). Honestly.. we camped on top of these boulders that were right next to the pounding 20ft waves.. it was crazy. The Eddie ended up getting canceled because the surf wasn't big enough but it was well worth the time in God's grace of letting us have the camp site.
Staying the night under the stars with Viktor and Janelle.
Just a small amount of the 100s of people on the side of the raod with us.
Our leadership school just got back from an epic adventure on the central part of the island. It was a fun hike in, camp and hike out two day bucket of fun. It was a legit bonding trip that was dubbed the practice adventure for our big hike we do in about a month.

Yup.. it really is this amazing. God.. seriously!
Sunset at the top... can our creator be any more epic?
DINNER! Soups on! :)
This trip was amazing, our team got to bond and see just how epic this year is going to be. God blessed with me a refreshing night in the woods - I needed it and God knew it :) Blessed am I! Both the Eddie and camping in one week... I about lost it in blessing :)
You truly are an amazing writer and photographer; blessed by God with so many gifts. Love seeing you use them for his purpose! Love you Chew
