I can’t believe that yesterday marked the 2 month date of me being here at the canyon! That means I only have 1 month left of living here! Crazy to think about! A lot has happened since I last wrote but many adventures have taken place.
I have no car now because my Acura decided to die last month on the way to climb the highest peak in Arizona which is called Mt. Humpreys. That was a bummer but I’m getting along without the car just fine and get to drive my Moms when I go back to school which is a big blessing! I actually don’t mind taking the bus everywhere because you just meet so many cool people. Also, on the plus side, I don’t have to drive all the way home which means my Mom and I have more time in the Canyon when she comes to pick me up.
Last weekend a friend and I went to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. I have now decided that before I die, I want to explore all 59 national parks and realized that I have only been to 6 out of that so far. Seeing Bryce for the first time was really special because we got to see the canyon for the first time as the sun was coming up. We also drove around to all the main points in the park before we headed to Zion to hike the narrows. The narrows were beautiful and I recommend the trip to Zion to anyone who loves the outdoors! The last day of our trip we also hiked around a little in Zion national before we headed home for work.
Services here have been going great and its crazy to think that our last day of services is August 7th!!!! I love being able to study Gods word and sharing with everyone my thoughts. I’m also learning how to lead worship by playing guitar which is going alright but I love learning how to play!
Today, there is a big barbecue for everyone that works in the park. I’m excited for the fellowship and food that we will have in a few hours. I also have tomorrow and Monday off and a few of us are planing to hike one of the side canyon trails! I can’t wait!!
Miss and love you guys and hope everyone is having a awesome summer!!!
