Greetings from New Mexico

So I'm writing this on my phone. Because I'm in my hammock. On the side of a mountain. Typical.
Anyway, I know I've only been gone a few days but I wanted to keep y'all updated. So the 12 hour drive here was good and uneventful. I arrived Friday afternoon and was immediately in awe of the beauty of this place. The lake, the mountains, the trees, all of it is amazing! I really just wanna jump in the lake but it's kind of freezing still. Everyone I've met is super nice and I've enjoyed spending time with the whole group of summer staff. Um, let's see here...I have 3 roommates who seem pretty cool.
I'm discovering that the Campus House key words for mission trips, patience and flexibility, are going to be super important here as well. I haven't really known what's going on since I've been here which is pretty frustrating to me. I'm trying to remember that mantra of patience and flexibility to remind me that that people who need to know what's going do know and that I'll be filled in if and when I need to.
Today the summer staff all loaded up and went to church together in El Dorado. The church was really great and I loved going with all of the staff to worship together. We now have the afternoon free until cooking out all together tonight once everyone has arrived. I took the free time to enjoy some quiet time on a solo hike. I found a place to put my hammock up and now I'm just chilling out and enjoying the beauty of creation.
This place is cool. God is going to do some cool things this summer and I cannot wait.
