So it's 12:30am on Friday, August 6th, and I've been home for about a week now. I feel bad I havent updated as much as I should have. It was a crazy summer, but a fulfilling one as well.
My last week in Colorado was great. I got to work with a bunch of close friends I made over the summer, and with Kelsey the girl I worked with last summer in San Diego. Also made some awesome new friendships with a group of Oklahoma.
It was definitely a busy week. When we werent doing VBS we were doing stuff to help reach out to the community there. It was awesome!
I learned so much this summer from how to reach out to the community better, to just studying the Bible. Since I've been back I've started to read with a friend of mine. We're going to read a book of the Bible each week and get together and talk about it. I cant wait. I'm also thinking about trying to figure out a time and place to once a week wake up early and go pray with a small group of other believers. I think that would be awesome! I didnt do it very much in Colorado, but when I did it was very rewarding.
Now that I'm back, I really dont know what to do with myself. I've been able to just sit around and do nothing, and it's just so weird. I feel like i should be out doing something. I'm hoping here this school year I can start to reach out to the community on my own. Just better build relationships with people around me because i've learned that I dont do that enough here.

Sunday my brother leaves for boot camp. Please be praying for him these next three months of his training, and for his fiance too who has to deal with this as well and trying to plan a wedding around all of this.
Also be praying for me as I try to reach out to my community more now that Im home. And be praying that I can keep my focus on God. It's been an awesome summer, and I wish I could write more, but I need to try to get some sleep. Love you all, thank you so much for the prayer and support this summer!

In Christ,
Hannah
