Just finished yesterday my last week of work here at camp whittle! Sadly though i had to take of Thursday because i rolled my ankle falling over something and now it is really swollen and bruised and it hurts to walk on it and i limp everywhere and i walk very slowly. But its okay i am sure i will get better soon! I am excited to be heading back to campus soon! We work 2 days next week and then we are done! We have Wednesday of and then we are going to Joshua tree on Thursday and then we are headed back to campus on Friday nice and early! Then we go through debriefing and briefing for our next project then i head home for Christmas break for 2 weeks! I am really excited to be going home but i have a feeling that i am going to miss my team!! I also get to go to church tomorrow!! Very excited!! :D

Have my induction tomorrow! Finally done with training! Excited to go on my first project! We are going to the San Bernardino National Forest to a camp to help out with fuel reduction and some other things but it is also going to be pretty cold and we are also going to be at a high elevation! But also we might possibly going to the east coast to help out with the hurricane! But there are only sending 70 people so it is very possible that they will not! I guess i will see i will find out soon because if we do go we will be leaving in a couple of days! o crazy that during these 10 months things can change so quickly!


GETTING THINGS DONE!

This is my team! There is me up on the left and next to me there is Danielle then Liz, Dexter, Bryan, Chelsea, Linda, Trevor. Down at the bottom is Jake, and Nate. That guy in the middle thats the best team leader EVER, Joel. But sadly he left today. We were all so sad! But we want him to be happy but we miss him like crazy! I really love my team, when are team leader left today and when he told us yesterday i felt how close we really were and how we could almost get trough anything! I feel like just after 2 weeks we know each other really well! I am so happy that i have them as my team members! If they would have split us up after Joel left i think we all would have left! Well enough of being sad let me tell you all the good things that i have loved so far! I have laughed a whole bunch and Joel was a big part of that laughter. A lot of people in my team make me laugh and i really feel loved by my team here (sometimes). I like my two roommates Chelsea and Liz! They are really nice! I also found someone to pray with which i love! His name is trevor the one in the picture and it is so nice to have someone to pray with when you go through things like when your team leader leaves! We just got back from a camp the other day and it was fun in ways! I went zip lining but it was also really cold and raining and we were in open air cabins. we have been through a lot of training but in a couple of weeks we will be done and get to go on our first round which will be nice! I also hope we can go to Hawaii all of my team wants to but we are not getting our hopes up!  But we will see! I have been having a lot of fun! But i will be excited to go home for Christmas so i can see my family!! I am definitely GETTING THINGS DONE!

Well i am now in Sacramento! Tomorrow is the big day and i am excited but also a little nervous i don't really know how i feel but i am excited to meet all these new people! It was sad to say goodbye to a lot of people but i know i will be back! I will keep you guys updated as it goes on and where i am! Tomorrow my new life begins!

Well i just got most of things i need today! I got some bedding and a blanket, towels, plates, silver ware! I will get some other things some other time! I also worked out today to get ready or the running i have to do in a month! i am getting really excited and shopping for things today made it all the more real!

It is not much longer until i leave for my amazing year! I plan to drive down there with my parents about the beginning of October! I am also having a going away party with my closest family and friends, which will be nice! I am really excited to be leaving but also really nervous! I have to run 1.5 miles and do sit ups and push ups and i am a little nervous about getting that done so i am able to do it! But i am sure i will! I am so excited to meet all these different people from all over!! It is just going to be so great and life changing! I am so ready to start a whole new chapter in my life!!! :)
