Kaleo Ministry

Woops! Looks like I missed a week. That's what reading break does to you. I was buried in books the whole time.
Well honestly, not the whole time. I was camping for a couple days in the Carmanah Valley. I went with Tom and Aaron and a few people from Cobble Hill. I think that was the wettest camping trip I have ever been on. Also one of the most fun. I suppose when I am hanging out with people from Cobble Hill it counts as ministry, but its more like hanging out with family. We are encouraged to write about whether we were prepared for our ministry experiences, and I have to say -- I dont think I was. I was not at all prepared to gain more family! Friends, for sure, mentors, maybe, but family? What an amazing blessing.
Work at Qwanoes is really fun too. Tom and I cleaned out some treehouses. They were pretty gross what with the mats covered in rain water and spiders. Also there are hanging bridges which were extremely slippery and holey. Tom fell in one of the holes twice.
So far I seem to be the biggest trouble maker at Kaleo. Its not something im proud of but I dont want to provide a lopsided view of myself through this blog! First trouble was jumping off the dock at nighttime, into the ocean. The phosphorescence is beautiful but apparently thats no excuse for endangering the insurance prices of the camp. So that was kindof a bummer.
I also got in trouble for riding big pans from the kitchen down stairways. So yeah, remember to pray for God to discipline me because I need it.
In other news, I made it onto the India Team! I am not really surprised, but I am really thankful. A lot of people were told that they could not go because only ten can go. So also give praise to the Big Guy for that!
Love you all!

ps This is my only correspondence during my vow of silence. Remember to come visit me everyone!
