I was greeted on the plane by a sweet stewardess named Shannon and I think I made her blush when she saw my painting of her. She really was a great stewardess and I was glad to leave her with my painting. Keep up the great work Shannon!!! As you could tell I had a lot of time on the plane, but it was so great to have time to prepare my mind and heart for Kauai.
The first week in Kauai::: I LOVE KAUAI!!! The lush green pasture outside my safari tent is filled with goats and a few renegade boars that I intend to knife one of these nights. The sporadic, five-minute downpours with constant tropical warmth is a pleasant change. The camp-life-- no electricity, no Internet, and cold showers make life a bit rustic. I love how the other students are so fun and energetic and full of life. I love eating communal meals. I love the sweet times with God at night as I look up at the stars or in the morning as the sun rises over the ocean. All these little details make for a great time so far.
Classes started today and I am so excited to study the Word of God. I am taking Discipleship 101, Genesis, Romans, Luke, Acts, Homeletics (I get to preach), and Church History. I hope to keep up with the work load, but it should be ok. I am also on the construction crew on the property and today I had the glorious duty of troubleshooting/ cleaning the composting toilet. Let me just say that there was no composting going on in there, but I loved getting a little dirty for the sake of Jesus. Thats what its all about, right?
