West Coast Friendships

"Aloha, my happy West Coast friends...do you feel alive?"

Hey everyone! Sorry its been so long since my last post! I was finishing up my finals at school (which went very well, by the way) and I had a ton of responsibilities for my job as a CA in the dorms. But, I got to leave school and Wisconsin a little earlier than expected...I got to leave to go to California for the second summer in a row! I am out here now interning with Campus Crusade for Christ.

Now a couple question probably pop in your head when you hear this...I will try and answer them as best I can. I am out here for half the summer as a student-staff member training students from across the States to be able to lead a Bible Study on their campus, share their faith with their close friends and family and even strangers, and help make them into leaders. It is going to be such a fun summer working with all these other students and staff.

I will be the 'co-leader' of a group of 5 guys from all over the place! I got a chance to talk with them all on the phone and I am so excited about them. They all seem like they are pretty awesome guys, I cannot wait til they get here on Monday.

We have around 40 staff and student staff who have been here preparing things for the students to come and also preparing ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually before the students get here. We have shared our faith numerous times already just in a week and I have gotten in some really great conversations! On my plane ride out here I started talking to a man named Everet and we started talking about spiritual things. Turns out he is a Christian and is so excited that I am going to San Diego to do God's work. He said he would be praying for our summer. It was such an encouragement to hear him say he was excited about what I was doing and that he was going to pray for me personally. God is so good...

I already have a TON of stories to tell you all, but it is real late here and I gotta get up early tomorrow. I will do my best to post to this at least 2 times a week this summer to let everyone know what God is doing out here in San Diego.

I pray that God works in your life and you continue to pursue him!
