Welcome Kaleo 6
I cant post on your blogg so i decided to post on ours.. in hopes that Jim will read it to you some time in chapel.... umm Jim when ever you get this you can read it to them.
Wow your there! its been along time coming, I know that some of you have been counting down the days since you got that call from Jim saying welcome to the kaleo family. I know the first day was full of awkward pauses and conversations full of question. Some of you may be think "WHAT AM I DOING HERE"... but don't ever let the thought of going home cross you mind. God has called you here for a reason, look around and you will see the faces of your new family. These are the people who will laugh with you, cry with you, pray with you, and have random adventurers with. The people Who will take you in to there home when your traveling across Canada and feed you and give you a bed to sleep in (trust me it could happen). Knowing this Don't hold your self back, let them in, Let them get to know you. In letting them get to know you, you will also get to know your self. I know lots of you are related or just know people that have done Kaleo in the past, I challenge you to forget every thing they have told you and do this on your own. Every year is so different, so make this one KALEO 6 and not just Kaleo.
I am on the road right now but i will be seeing you in a few weeks I'm so excited to get to know you all! and looking froward to having some of you at my church. So i guess all i really wanted to say in the letter was WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! and i see you soon
p.s Jim tell Kristy i love her!

Wow, Kaleo 6. I hardly thought the day would come for K5, the year I would do Kaleo but now here we are, at the start of K6. When I think about all of you guys there right now my heart aches, an awesome ache though of joy, excitement, anticipation and the desire for you all to grab onto this year. My prayer is as michelle said that you would forget everything your friends and siblings have told you, as hard as this may be. Yes keep in mind what you've heard about the community and the trips and classes and how amazing the relationships are...but this is YOUR time guys, oh the excitement just to think that God is doing this again, this amazing chapter called Kaleo that now gets to go in your book of life. My prayer is that you would take this baton and charge head on into it. It's your turn but may this be a brand new baton...not a passed down one but a new one. Man I love you guys. I hope I get to come visit sometime and just watch your Kaleo.
My heart has been reminded (almost a slap really) about the importance of Jesus, only Jesus and making Jesus enough (Thank-you Ellie for your words in the yearbook!!!) and so I pray,
Lord God, give them Jesus!!!!
Take care of your leaders!!
