so as I have previously pointed out my blog has taken a serious back seat, and so I apologize to all of you who are following along. Below is a copy of an email I sent a friend about the last couple days, so you get a little peek at what it has been like...
everything is going incredible here. yesterday was phenomenal!
the snowboarders school is here right now, and so we had the annual, boarders versus backpackers soccer game. its kinda a big deal here. like actually haha. and we won!!! yeaaa. then there was this huge bbq and hang out time after, then we had a worship time, and one of the boarders shared that his best friends little sister is on her death bed, and the doctors said she probably wont live through the weekend. so we just spent time interceding for her, which is crazy because that is what we have been learning about in lectures this week. and we sang and danced and screamed and just prayed for her, and it was one of the most amazing experiences ever. even though we only just met these people we have become close with them, and we all joined together as a body of christ and worshiped and prayed, and it was beautiful.
so my team for outreach is fantastic! we are already pulling together, and sharing common visions, and joining in prayer for thailand and for each other. it has been such a beautiful thing to be a part of. it was such an answer to prayer. everything about my team. because we are prayer warriors, and friends, and a family. the other girl is incredible, and i admire her so much. and the guy on the team just loves God so much it challenges me to grow in my faith. there were certain people from my school, i knew wanted to go to the same place as me that i knew i wouldn't deal well with if they were on my team, and God completely answered that prayer. as well as the two guys on my team (one being my leader ben) are two BIG guys, so i know that i will feel safe with them wherever we go, which is also a huge answer to prayer. man God is so good.
so besides crazy soccer games and awesome worship time, the other day we went on a weekend hike to a mountain about 3 hours away, and it was amazing. it was a bit of a chilly day, so that was nice at first. as we made our way through this dense forest, with snow on the top of the trees, the ground got really slippery. there was one point were i lost my footing and began to slide. thank goodness for april who stopped me and it was all good. haha.
the view on the top was totally worth it all, it was beautiful. there was about a foot of snow on the top. and it was freezing, be there were mountains all around us. then we hiked through more forest to this lake where we camped over night. it was a really tiring weekend, but so beyond incredible.
I will post some photos soon. but i must run to prayer now,.
cheers,
