My Dear Family...
hey everyone!
So today is exactly one month from our graduation from Kaleo, and this makes my heart very sad. I'm sorry that it has taken me so very long to post anything, and at long last this was prompted by Scotty's post, so here you go. Even though it has been a month since we all left each other, I have only actually been home for one week. For the week after Kaleo my family and I stayed out west to go up to Tofino and then over to Vancouver. It was a really good time but it was also quite strange going to Kaleo places like Coombs and Tofino with my family instead of my Kaleo famiy but it was also neat to be able to show them the things that we had done. After that I was home for a week and then headed down to Florida with my family, just arriving back home this afternoon. The very first day I was back home I went to my best friend's graduation from Bible College. It made me laugh to see how formal theirs was compared to ours. Although I could see deep friendships had been made their and that they were going miss each other, I didn't witness the family that we had in Kaleo and it made me cherish it so much the more.
Our trip to florida is an annual thing and we always take a couple of days to drive down and then my aunt flies down to meet us there. It was really good family time, just hanging out with them and enjoying time of relaxation and fun with them. It was a greatly needed break for my dad, he was getting pretty worn out from the pressures of being in ministry. We also spent a couple of days at the beach and I just marvel at God's glorious creation and how good he is to us, just letting us enjoy it. Because of all this I have yet to go to my home church. The one Sunday when I was home I went to the church that my dad is currently the interm pastor (who fills in until the can get another full time pastor) at, and then the past three weeks I have been away. So I'm really looking forward to going to my home church. I now have a month before I head back to camp and I need to find a job of some sort for that period of time, in order to earn at least some money for next fall, so if you guys could pray for that, it would be great and also on wednesday evening I have an interview for the residence that I want to get into next fall for university, which I'm somewhat nervous about. I'm actually starting to get excited about that, and I know that God has great things in store if I trust him. I was struck especially today when I got home by how terribly much I miss you all and wish that I could be with all of you. Despite that desire I know that each of us are exactly where God wants us to be and is using us there, whether at home, camp, or wherever else. I love you all dearly and I am greatly looking forward to seeing some of you in a month at Qwanoes. You are all in my prayers.
God Bless,
