grand canyon











On saturday we all piled into a van and drove about 5 hours to the grand canyon. I left washington hoping for warmer weather, but to my dismay, it was snowing. The view was amazinggg, but it was kind of freaky because of the ice. I was pretty scared that I was gonna slip right into the grand canyon. Other than almost crashing in the van a few times, it was a great day. First we stopped at the Hoover dam, which is pretty close to the base. They're building a new bridge, and its so freaky! I think I would rather die then have to work on that thing! Anyways, things are going great here in Vegas. The family came to visit me last week and we had lots of fun. But now I have to get used to not seeing them all over again, which has been kind of hard.








OH, and I almost forgot the most exciting news of all. We decided on Turkey for our outreach!! I'm reallllllllly excited. Please just continue to pray for me, especially that God will provided the finances for this trip. I can tell I'm where God wants me to be, so I know he'll provide a way. I'm just not very patient, or good at trusting. Also, the dts that was here before us left for Afghanistan last week for their outreach. We all miss them like crazy, so please just pray for their safety and that God provides them with amazing opportunities!

Conquering the mountain
















This past saturday we went up to red rock to do a little hiking. It was the most "hike" of my life, if you can even call it a hike. A lot of it was spent scaling mountains and rock climbing while trying not to fall of the side of the mountain. Still not sure if its my cup of tea, but I did have a lot of fun. I wish I could have taken more pictures, but I was too busy trying to stay alive.
