It's Been Awhile

Sorry it has been awhile since my last post but its been a hectic couple of weeks. Two weeks ago my parents came to visit and their 4 day visit turned into a week long visit after my mom slipped, broke her ankle, and had to have surgery and then last week I got sick, so it has been pretty crazy around here. I am doing fine and can't belief I have been here for over five weeks. This trip has been absolutely amazing so far even with all the incidents of the past two weeks I don't have any pictures to share but I should be able to get to the internet more frequently now that everything has settled down here. My mom and dad are back home now and I ask that you keep my mom in your prayers as she recovers.

Just Another Update and a few pictures

Hi everyone just wanted to let everyone know that I am still having an amazing time here at the Grand Canyon. I am preaching two sermons this weekend as well as taking another hike into the Canyon this time I'll be going down to Plateau Point which is about 6 miles down into the Canyon. Just the other day I got some bad news my friend Pete's mom passed away and before I heard the news I wasn't planning on going to the sunset service that evening but after I heard that Holly had left this world something told me that I needed to go to the services and I'm glad I did because the sermon that Shleby, the other seminarian on our team, gave was just what I needed to hear. God is so great all the time but especially in the times when we need him the most. My parents will be coming for a visit next week so I'm really excited about that and have found a bunch of things for us to do together as a family. Here are somemore pictures that still do not capture the awesomeness of this place.
