First week

This is so weird that I haven't even been away from home for a week yet, but somehow it feels like months. I started my time out in Hawaii, where 40 other student missionaries going out to varies pacific Islands. It was a good time bonding, and super busy. We had a lot of information given to us, and it was hard to try and remember everything, but it was a good experience. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I was so blessed to be in a place with young people that had the same ambition and were headed in the same direction spiritually. After Hawaii, we flew to Guam and had a two day layover there. We got to got jet-skiing, and para-sailing.It was so much fun. An Adventist family owns a tourist water recreation place. And He was so kind to us. He was such a blessing to us. Sabbath in Guam was busy as well. Went to church had a great potluck with guacamole. Which was delicious. We went on a hike through some mountains, and it was so hot, but when we got to the end it was a beautiful ocean view. We boarded our plane to Yap at at 10:10pm and arrived on Yap at 11:45 pm. I finally went to bed at 1:45 am, and that was wonderful. It really down poured here. And I love the sound of the rain. Our apartment is huge, and we have made it home. I saw my classroom! And I am super excited!!! The room is nice and I can't wait to actually go into it and make it my own. Super excited about the school year. God has been good, and so often I forget that He has led me before and He will lead me again. There is nothing that is impossible with God. And all I need to do is trust that no matter what He will lead me. So my prayer for today is that I will always follow God's will. And that He will continually guide me. These students will become so special to me, and I can't wait for all of us to learn together. God will be the main teacher in my classroom though. Please, pray for all of the other SM's as they are preparing to work for God. Pray for the people of Yap. God will provide if we are willing. I will post some more later.
