Montana

I got back on Sunday morning from Montana. It was a lovely time! I went on a mission trip as a leader. Having been on the trip four other times as a student in high school, I enjoyed going back as a leader. We worked on a house building walls and doing some other little odd jobs as well as doing mudding and tapping on a garage then priming and painting it. The students did amazing work. I am proud of how they worked through the heat of a 100* day and then the thunderstorm another day. The students are into their second week of the trip and this time backpacking in Montana. I miss being with them, hearing about their stories as well as sharing a few of my own. The reason I came back was to continue preparing for the Navy and for boot camp. Today I took another step in fulfilling my desire to join the Navy. Myself and my friend Darian, who is also joining the Navy, knocked our physical fitness test out of the way. Push ups, sit ups and a mile and a half run. Needless to say, I was tired when we finished. The whole process has been interesting to see how things work. Please continue to pray for me as I set out to start boot camp at some point soon (hopefully).
