“For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5
First, I am safely in Santa Cruz and LOVING it!! J Second, I am so sorry it has taken me a few days to update my blog…we have been SO busy! When we got here on Monday, we were greeted by staff and students with hugs and excitement which made me feel right at home. We spent the rest of the day meeting everyone and getting settled into our home at the Peter Pan Motel. These people are amazing, and I am overwhelmed by God’s goodness in providing me with some awesome roommates and dear friends already!

Our first true day is Santa Cruz was much different than I imagined because it was rainy and very cold (there is usually no rain here), so it was sort of a bummer. However, we spent most of the day in training, so if I had to spend the day inside it was a perfect day to! Kaitlin and I did do some exploring and it was so cool to explore this city that we would call home for the next 10 weeks.

Wednesday was a wonderful day! I got up early and ran with a few girls up to the cliffs, which was a breathtaking view. We spent the morning and early afternoon with our roommates, getting to know each other. THEN we got into these groups and had an awesome pirate scavenger hunt around Santa Cruz, and our group won!! Whoop whoop! Because the day was pirate themed, we ended the night watching Pirates of the Caribbean and making s'mores (which are my favorite!).

I am so thankful for incredible staff and awesome students, and I am already so blessed by these people. Thank you for continuing to pray for me!
“Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare if fearlessly, as I should.” Ephesians 6: 19-20
Soli Deo Gloria.
