It is very strange sitting here in an empty room, realizing that I will be graduating today. In only a few short hours, I will walk across the stage to receive my second, and most likely my last, degree from Texas A&M. I guess after 17 years of being a student, it is about time to stop my formalized education and move on to a "real" education.
This past month has been such a blur, but I think everything is just now beginning to sink in and become real to me. School is finishing up. This past week I was able to mail out all of my support letters! Thank you to everyone who helped me with that! I could not have done it without you!!! Yesterday I was accepted to a language school in Costa Rica and booked my flight for that trip. I will be studying Spanish from June 29th through July 24th at the Instituto de Lengua Española (http://thespanishinstitute.com/). Booking the airline flights made me realize that I really am travelling to do ministry and learn a new language. It can feel overwhelming at times, but it is also exciting! All I can do is listen for how the Lord is leading me right now
Tomorrow evening I leave to go to Colorado for the week. Myself and 4o other guys will be going to prepare the Crooked Creek Young Life camp (http://sites.younglife.org/camps/CrookedCreek/default.aspx) in Fraser, Colorado for summer campers! This is the first time we have gone to Crooked Creek. For the past 4 years we worked at The Younglife Camp, Frontier Ranch, in Buena Vista, but due to A&M's later ending date it would not work out for us to go. So it is a new adventure for us all! The week is a wonderful time to work hard but also slow down and transition from the finishing of school and the beginning of the summer. I will be taking all the travel time to start working on my Spanish, reading through all the EMI information, and scheduling out everything I have to do between now and when I leave to go!
