Hey Everyone!

So today I will start with talking about yesterday. So last night as we were winding down the day and had just finished eating, and being tired we all started to read around the fire pit (which did not have a fire in it) and generally be lazy. After about an hour Luis, one of the guys we had met earlier that day on the climb, came by and hung out with us. Luis is from Puerto Rico, and is currently living in Charleston, SC as a ballroom dance instructor. He was traveling with one of his students whose name I can't quite figure out how to spell so I am going to go for Lud (sorry Lud for messing up your name) who is currently getting her PhD in micro-biology (I am pretty sure). We sat and talked for a while with Luis who was awesome and fulfilled Stephen's wish for a fire by bringing us some wood. It was really cool to be able to have these long talks with people who just a few hours ago we didn't know from Adam.

Now on to what we did today. Today was somewhat of a boring rest and relaxation day, we woke up around 8ish and ate pancakes and bacon for breakfast. After cleaning up and putting away all of our dishes we then went into town in search of showers, because at this point we all smelled like roses and our breath was like mint **cough cough**. We found a place that only offered $5 showers and we decided that we all smelled quite nice and declined. After going to Walmart and re-supplying we headed back to camp to eat lunch. Seeing as this is all so fascinating I am going to summarize the rest of the day in a really long run-on sentence with bad grammar and little to no way to follow :). Ate lunch read books watched the end of a TV show chuck sorted pictures prepared a dinner of steak onions mushrooms green beans and bread ate our fill cleaned up drove to a internet cafe and blam here we are.
Considering all that we have done and how far we have gone it is nice to be able to sit and collect my thoughts about it all. Yesterday as I stood on top of Angels Landing with everyone, taking in the scene around me and just being blown away, I thought, "wow! This is what my God has made." Every river, every valley, every tree, and every breathtaking peak - the God whom I serve made it all. Every now and then I just need to be reminded about the big picture and seeing all of his creation is reminding me how small I am in the scope of things. I love being a part of something so much bigger than me and being able to step back and see it from a distance every now and then. Well everyone, I know my thoughts have been scattered and it has not been that eventful but thanks for reading and God bless.

Are y'all seriously playing ninja on the edge of a cliff, because the picture above sure looks like it!
ReplyDeleteWhat an outstanding blog! What a great experience. I never took a road trip with a bunch of buddies, unless you count trips to Canada with the Boy Scouts, when I was a kid. Best of luck to all of you as you begin your job hunting, and remember, it's not really luck, it's providence. I'm sure you will all do well, except for that art history guy. (Who will do miraculously well.)

Served these 'wanderful' young men some coffee and just want to say, well done parents; these are great gentlemen that made the night in our barista.
ReplyDeleteWe had everyone sharing ideas, photos, business cards and stories. An alive group with spirit and fellowship made easy.
If you have the chance to come across them treat them well and they will pay you back.
