Day One

I am overwhelmed by the beauty of this island. I have been to Hawaii once before but fairly remember it. Everything here is just so different from what I'm use to at home. Just knowing that your on the island gives you a sense of relaxation and peace. I've meet what seems like a thousand people already and honestly its been easy to remember their names, Ellie, Campbell, Holly, Erika, Monica, Jose, Ryan, Jonathan, Mandy, Tiffany, Ashley, Madalyn, Emily 1, 2, and 3, Grace, Jaclyn, Sunkyung, so on and so on. So many incredible, beautiful people with such a heart for God. YWAM is an organization that really focuses on having everyone being part of their family, and once I got off that shuttle from the airport with my two new friends, Mandy and Emily, I felt so at home and comfortable with all these hundreds of people. Its funny to be here after months of facebook stalking everyone and knowing just about who that person is and now to finally see them face to face. A lot of the girls agreed with me. Its been pretty incredible getting to know all these people personally from all around the world, all with the same burning passion for God and a desire to grow more and more deeper in love with Him. Its only been day one of my six month adventure and I cannot wait what else there is in store for me and my everyone here on this campus.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!
Love you all!!
