First Weeks on Base

Hey everyone, my first weeks on base here in Kona have been amazing. There has been quite a variety of things to do and people to meet, but it has been a blessing to get settled out here.

After a busy first week of getting housing, setting up finances and orientation as a staff member among other things, I decided to take it easy and hike the second highest mountain in Hawaii my first weekend here! Though altitude sickness, cold temperatures

and being slightly out of shape tried to slow me down, here is one reward of the beautiful view at 13500 feet.

As a staff member of the Summer DTS, we have been busy contacting students, preparing for outreach locations, and coming together as a team. Jesus really brought our

team together quickly on our staff retreat as we spent time in worship, sharing testimonies, praying for each other and playing washers (kind of like cornhole). Each of us feel that the Lord has some big plans for our school of potentially 70 to 80 students! There will be much more to come on this.

Blessings
