aloha

hello, sorry it took so long for the blog, internet is a funny thing right now and it doesn't help I don't have a computer ;)
Everything is good here, its very warm during the day and quite humid,
we wake up bright and early 6am and have breakfast. I share a room with 7 girls, and we are in the oldest building on campus, its not bad though we have a great view.Today was the oreintation which was awesome because it was an introduction to the Hawaiian culture. We met all of our leaders and they seem very dedicated to the school and the people. I got the all in memo as they put it, there isn't a lukewarm here, its all in or go home (they say it nicer) I'm excited, I want my world to change, I want my outlook on life to change, and I want everything I once knew to have a different prespective. I'm supposed to be here, and have no doubt in that. It's good to be surrounded, for the most part, with people who feel that same way. We have an awesome group, and I can't wait to get to know everyone better.

Currently i'm sitting under a banyan tree at a cafe, with a straight view of palm tree's and other plants, and just past that, is the ocean. .... and i'm not wearing shoes. just to give you a picture of what my life is at the moment :)
i'm happy, very happy. and I'm excited.

oh and mom, the bugs here aren't to bad, saw a flying one thats like Africa.

i'm trying to get pictures but I'm not sure when i can do that.. soon hopefully!

Love you all! Beach tommorow!

  4. Jenessa, I can't tell you how proud of you I am. You are a beautiful young woman and I will be praying for you as you follow God's leading. Have fun while you do it and learn all you can.

    I do have to say I'm a wee bit jealous that you get to do all that while drinking coffee under a banyan tree! How cool is that?!?!?!?! Another person waiting for pics :)

    You make me proud.

    Love Aunty Heather
