And the results are in, folks. I'm going to London for my outreach destination! We'll be working a majority of it at the Olympics. I'm so excited to work against the injustices that go on during this time where every single nation comes together in one place! Not to mention, I get to celebrate my birthday there. How great a gift is that?! We'll be working a few weeks with a school called Circuit Riders. I can't tell you much about it, only because it's still a mystery to me of what it is exactly. I shall know soon though, of all the details. You all will know when I do, of course!

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love being a part of YWAM and how much it is helping me to grow in my Faith already. And it's only week two!! It's just such an honor to work with a community of radical people who have the sole purpose of "Knowing God, and making Him known". This past week I was shown the importance of good leadership and being a fearless woman of God. I'm slowly coming out of my safety "care-too-much-about-what-others-think" bubble. How can I care so much about what others think instead of praising the One who created this?:

I get to experience that sunset every day guys! How amazing is that?! Everything is so wonderful here on the Big Island. I just feel so close to the Lord when I am surrounded by such beauty. And these people I'm with?! Gosh, how do I begin to explain their incredibleness? Yesterday we spent the night just throwing flour and dirt at each other. Our own, less gory, but perhaps equally messy, version of the Hunger Games. Below you will see a picture of Stephanie Everdeen and Molly Melmark. 
Fierce, right?

Last week I read all of Genesis. This week I'll be reading all of Exodus. Everything is crazy! But everything is certainly beautiful. I don't regret this decision of coming here. Not even slightly.
