GOODBYE SAN DIEGO HELLO HAWAII!!!!

     SO.,.....i am finally here ..... the day finally came and now i am sleeping in kona hawaii....well i am not sleeping but understandably some of the roomates are becaause it was an EXHAUSTING day!!! over 400 students from all over the world arrived in Kona today to start on the journey of a lifetime...todays journey, however, felt like it could be a story all in itself.
     Starting at six we woke up and by seven their were people at my house ready to make the trek to the airport. The drive down was super long...traffic was absolutely horrible. After an hour drive to get to the airport i got my bags checked and was on my way to security. After the hardest goodbyes of my whole life i was in security only to hear that there were to many flashes coming from my family and they needed to stop taking pictures. HAHAHA they thought there was papparazzi at the airport. Once I got on the plane i could not be happier to see there was a crying baby in front of me, behind me, and to the right of me. I did get to sit next to a mid twenties guy with grey hair....it was odd. He proceeded to tell me what bars i needed to go to.I told him i was here on mission and he didnt get the hint i still got all the updates on what bars i needed to be at. I also learned from him that no matter what age i am it doesnt matter in Hawaii. After his third beer on the plane i tuned him out!! Once we landed in Honolulu the plane doors were not opened for another thirty minutes of just sitting in affect once they opened i had to rush across the airport to catch my connecting flight to Kona. When leaving Honolulu it was POURING rain. So the whole flight was very very bumpy. We finallly landed in kona and let me tel you..... KONA IS THE UGLIEST AIRPORT EVER. It was like landing in a big garden tha only had weeds and dirt. THe minute you get of the plane all u feel is the humidity. It is so hot and humid but raining at the same time. Once i got here melissa and josh (my trip life savers) picked me up at the airport. It was so nice to see people i knew. I got here spent hours getting registered and now i am sitting on the floor of a dark room writing this.
      The dorm room fits eight girls and one bathroom!!! Ya i know it is oging to be difficult. there are four different bunk beds. Luckily i got here early enought to get a bottom one. there are two closet like things and a microwave and mini fridge. there are two bookcases and two desks. three bedstands. definitely tough living conditions for eight young women and all there clothes for sixth months. The room does have an ocean view and i will post pics tomorrow. there is no ac and one fan. it is hot here and very very humid. Breakfasts are early....at like 615 which is ridiculous haha. But that is ok i think this is going to be the worlds best diet for me because i havent eaten all day hahahaha.
         I cant believe that after al this anticipation i am finally here. It almost feels like a more relaxed version of church camp. Prayers are still totally welcome as this is just the beginning of a fun but tough journey. I mis people at home so bad. I miss air conditioning hahahhahahahahaha. i am so thankful for everything everyone has done for me. I have so many lovely people in my life. I really really cant wait to see what God has in store for me. As people read this and feel compelled to shooot up a word to God maybe just ask him that i have a peace of mind. And to remind me that this is where i am supposed to be. Being in a new place is always always difficult!! I Just need God to take control and give me peace. I need to let all the distractions of the world go. SO please remember me in your prayers. I love you all so much and thank you for the encouragement little words go a long way......
