There are so many adventures when you're on staff with collegiate Navs! Just last week my teammates, Jamie and Derrik, and I flew out to Los Angeles to scope out the city that we will soon be bringing some of our UCCS students to for their Spring Break.
Some Highlights:
1. randomly sitting in front of one of my former UCCS Bible Study girls on the plane to L.A.!
2. touching the Pacific Ocean for the first time!
3. seeing Amy (now 15!!) whom I used to nanny several years ago.
4. discovering heaven on earth: Yogurtland!
5. talking to Project Angel Food about volunteering our time to help prepare meals
Some "I'm so glad we figured this out before we brought students out here" moments:
1. all the interstates that run together like spaghetti ("the 5" "the 405" "the 55" weird)
2. having a GPS is not helpful, is necessary for survival and sanity!
3. expect to pay $$ for parking anywhere you go
4. there are way more fun things to do in L.A. than visit the Hollywood Wax Museum
5. Santa Monica is the home of the "original" Muscle Beach
Our theme for this trip is "Super Cali-Fellowship" and we'll be taking a closer look at what real fellowship means. 1 John 1:7 says that "if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship with one another. . ." Our desire is for students to not only enjoy each other and the sights and sounds of L.A., but to really know that true fellowship is only experienced by walking in the light of Christ.
Spring Break isn't until the end of March, but it'll be here sooner than I expect! Please pray for 18 students to commit to this trip and for their hearts to long for true fellowship. And please pray for our planning!!
Jamie and I at Long Beach-look at those beautiful palms!
Amy and I at Yogurtland-the most delicious place your tatsebuds will ever know!
