i'm always in a great mood on any given friday, but this weekend i'm especially happy because i'm going CAMPING!!!! 5 of us mission builders are renting a car this weekend and taking it around the island. We leave tomorrow morning after breakfast, then we drive north making stops along the way until we hit this place called "Waipio Valley" where we'll camp for the night and meet another couple who will join us there. On sunday we'll leave Waipio valley and head west, then south making stops at waterfalls, and other cool locations along the way. Our ultimate destination is Kilauea- the volcano :) all I have to say is I am not coming home until I see some lava.
The people coming aremy german friends Miriam and Thorsten, Junior the brazilian guy, and steve the american guy. At waipio Valley we're meeting Michael and Hara, they're a married couple who are good friends with Miriam and Thorsten and really cool people actually. She's from Ethiopia, and he's.... hmmm... not sure what he is. I'm going to be sharing a tent with Miriam which i'm really psyched about having some girl time :D We borrowed a tent from Don and Angie -the mission builder coordinators who live at Hale Ola- and we're taking one more which miriam and thorsten already had (did I mention these guys are doing a trip around the world? camping and all that jazz? so sweet...) The car we rented was SO cheap $18/day divided by 5 PEOPLE! it'll definitely be worth it...
Anyway, I've had a great week. On thursday I had my DTS day, which was so encouraging. Every mission builder gets to attend "DTS" once a month and have the rest of the day off from work as well. It was just what I needed actually, the speaker was this guy called Dan Baulmer who wrote the book "imprisoned in Iraq" such a good speaker. Then Ohana service on thursday night was so so so good, but more about that later ( I keep saying that and then later never comes hehehe)
I gotta go actually leaving now for camping :)
missing you all very much
