Week 10, & 11 - How did the end get here so quickly?

Wow. I'm leaving the country in just a little under 48 hours. Ugh, let's not think about that right now, I'll think about it later in the blog. Adrenaline ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

Cool thing that happened- Road to Hana. This trip takes you along Hana highway, and all around Haleakala (the volcano in the middle of the island). The trip took all day, but it was very much worth it. Even though our trip began and ended with rain. A lot of rain. Now this wouldn't be a problem if we weren't traveling in the back of trucks, as opposed to vans. Our first stop was at this little cave. You jump into the water in it, and you can travel through a few caves, where it very quickly becomes pitch black. The key is to listen to the instructions of the people in front of you. My description hardly does the experience justice, but just know that it was really cool. The next thing we did was went to a place called Bunny Ears. Well, not so much

Week 7, 8, 9 - Annnnd we're back

So, I'll start this post with an update on some of my injuries. It started with basketball. I went for a ball, and fell on my head. Next, I got a nasty cut (shown in the picture below) whilst jumping through a broken window. Was it necessary? uhhhhh...

However, the cut didn't go all the way through the skin, so I didn't have to get stitches (Thank God). And, to wrap it up, an assortment of cuts ranging from knee cuts to several scratches going from my arm to my torso, because a wave washed me onto the rocks while I was climbing out of the ocean. Which I was in because of cliff-jumping. 'sigh', it's a hard life. I say that with complete sarcasm, and understanding that I am INCREDIBLY blessed to be here solely to deepen my relationship with God. So, let's get to the interesting stuff!

Week 4 & 5 & 6- Ooooooohh Loooooooord

As we are having a media fast this week (no phone/computer/ipod/cassette players/beepers/cd players/etc. for a week), I want to cover as many weeks as I can in this post. So, buckle in, this is gonna be a brief one.

So, during week 4 Maria Daughtry spoke on the Holy Spirit. After Donna Jordan speaking, and me crying, and whatnot, I was feeling pretty good. Man, I'm pretty good, and I'm pretty much set, and ready to tackle the world. Yeah, I wasn't ready for what was next. As the week started, Maria informed us that she was given the gift of prophecy, and throughout the week she had 'words' for people. The way she described it was that it was a letter from God that she was able to open for a person. Pretty crazy. At this point I remember something that I forgot from last week. I hate forgetting things.
