I have spent the last 83 days at Yellowstone Alliance Adventures. I have experienced so much! When I first got here I had to adjust to the climate since I am coming from somewhere with pretty much 0 elevation to 6000 ft elevation (or almost) also everything is uphill or downhill all the time. So I have lost about 25-30lbs this summer just from climbing up and down the hills several times a day. I also accomplished my goal of climbing up to Mountain top on July 2nd. (picture below) I also managed to get in a canoe and row out into Hyalite Lake without tipping it... granted we spent a lot of time rowing in circles. God has blessed me with 30 some brothers and sisters who have truly become my family. I have been encouraged, loved, and pushed to grow by these beautiful people. I spent the summer doing laundry and cleaning bathrooms and I LOVED it. I loved being able to help wherever and however I could. God has taught me a lot about being patient, being humble, and most of all learning how to be still and just listen. Words cannot describe how blessed I am. How God has shown me how much he truly loves me. It has become a real and living power in my life to know that my God is love... and he loves all of us despite our ridiculous sin... he loves us so deeply. This summer has been a transformation summer. And I want to keep pursuing and learning from God. I find out in this next week if God is opening the door for me to stay on here throughout the year. I don't know if it will be a yes or no, I do know though that wherever he leads me it will be good. Because he is there. I am so thankful for what God has done within me...
