Hey guys and gals!
How have y'all been? I've been great! The men of the AIM program went on an all guys camping trip. It was pretty great! We left the apartments at three pm, and drove out to the Post area. We stayed on a ranch called The Three Gringos Ranch. They were very kind to us. We all brought our own meat to cook. I brought hamburger patties. After we ate supper we went and had a scavenger hunt. That was a ton of fun! We stared at about eight pm and were given until eleven to find the end goal. We were given three rules, 1 Don't split up, 2 Don't get off the trail, and 3 Include your whole team. After we received our first clue, we raced off! and got our second we read it and deciphered it. As we ran off to find the last clue we got off a path without realizing it! You see we were on a path but where we needed to be was just below us, so we raced over to the last clue! When we got there we took the "prize" and started running off back to camp, when we were stopped and told to put the price back! Confuzzled, we did as we were told and put it back. Then reread the clue and found a paper in the bottom that told us to put the box by a tree shown on the map. We took off and couldn't find the tree! It was almost 11pm so we went back to camp, only to discover that we didn't have to bring the box with us! The paper was left in the box from the last time they had done this! We had won!!! Or so we thought...it turns out we were disqualified for getting off the path.
Through all of this we learned that we needed to be more observant. Sometimes we aren't even aware that what we are doing is wrong, and that is when we need to step back and get perspective!

So I decided today that I wanted to start blogging. I am excited, yet also very nervous about this. I am excited because  I am going to post verses, bible studies, and some news about my life as a missionary in Cochabamba, Bolivia where I will be living for about 18 months. I will also post some randomness! I'm a country boy living my life for God. I am interested in Naturopathic medicine, healthy living, and becoming a self sufficient farmer/rancher. I will try to post often and give updates on everything.
