the day after tomorrow.....

...... Mission Year starts! Yay hooray! I've been staying at the Nickels house since Friday, playing with Hazel and Juniper, reading, and making the most of my last "alone time" before I move in with my team. I have a feeling that with 6 of us in one trailer there's not going to be a whole lot of personal space, haha. Well, I signed up for this :)

I think we are doing some kind of technology fast in the first months of MY, so I'll update when I can... might be a while.

Oh, I finished reading Les Miserables! It was super good, and now I want to go see the opera again :) Someday maybe. Actually, someday for sure I will go see it again. It was amazing.

"Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The Ideal is terrifying to behold, lost as it is in the depths, small, isolated, a pin-point, brilliant yet threatened on all sides by dark forces that surround it; nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds" - Victor Hugo

Also I am reading Repenting Of Religion, by Gregory Boyd. I stole it from my dad and brought it with me to Mission Year, haha. It's all about judging other people vs. loving them. I'm about half way through it and I am really enjoying it.

Peace.
