Busy busy busy day! Mostly getting ready for our first winter trek tomorrow! Woke up and hobbled on my sprained ankle all day long...trying to get it ready for the pressure that I'm going to have to put on it starting tomorrow! Had to start the day early and finish up the 2 papers that were due tonight...lunch...leadership...we had the "leave no trace" talk and found out our trek teams! I'm on Katie Burn's and Mozzy's team (who was supposed to be DJ...but because Dave got sick...it got switched around) On my team is Taylor O. (roomie!), Taylor M., Reed, Rick, Gabe, Katelyn, Arielle, Aron, Leslie, and Amanda! I was on food duty and we packed up each meal in a separate garbage bag. Us girls then had to make "special pink bags" where we put hot pink duck tape around ziplock bags...just in case that time of month comes...leave no trace to the extreme! I then started to pack up my gear, went to dinner, went to Christian Classics, and then officially started packing! I had to do my laundry and while waiting for it me and Drew had a great talk! yay for friends and good conversation! I now, at 1:40 am, have just finished officially packing. Our bags weigh probably from 40-50 pounds...and our team is hiking up 20 miles total...this could get interesting to say the least...especially on a sprained ankle. I can't wait to just spend time away from reality in God's creation! We talked tonight in Classics about what solitude is all about...and I can't wait to get some genuine solitude in! Praying for God to bring some clarity, restoration, and just plain joy to this experience! Especially since I am not the best hiker ever!
Off to the wilderness for the first trek tomorrow bright and early! 5 days of backpacking up the snowy mountains of Shuteye Peak in the Sierra Nevadas we go! Only sad part? Not seeing everyone else who's not on my team for 5 days! We each go to different locations...so we never get to run into each other! I can't wait to hear about their adventures and share our own!
Peace out! Prayers appreciated! Be back on Monday!
