Two more days in SoCal!

There was rain today -- that's BIG news down here.

Fairs are always interesting. I like talking to the other admissions counselors, but what I really love is meeting students who have a lot of passion for life and the Lord. I met three really cool students last night who wanted to use their skills for the Lord on the mission field. It's exciting to see, because they are high schoolers! It's a big contrast to what I was like in high school. Whether Corban is the place for these guys or not, God has incredible things in store for those that follow Him.

As far as other counselors go, they've all been really nice. However, Kyle from Northwestern College in Iowa is an awesome guy. I've noticed that he prays before every fair and event where he could be interacting with students, and is very intentional (in a genuine not creepy way) when he talks to other admissions counselors. I went out to lunch with him, and though we had a lot of other stuff in common, he wanted to talk about the Lord and what He was doing. Just an all around encouraging guy. He reminded me a lot of Jared, actually! But he didn't have any facial hair...and he's not Cuban.

There's a little bit of sunshine peaking through the clouds right now! I've enjoyed the sun, BUT, I'm ready to enjoy the fall in Oregon. Because, as you all know, "It does rain in Salem. But the great thing about the weather in Oregon is that there are four very distinct seasons..." and that we are "only forty-five minutes away from skiing and snowboarding -- it's a great location in Oregon!"

  1. Wow. What an encouraging conviction! I have certainly not felt like Kyle as of late, but I appreciate the indirect compliment anyway! May I be more like Kyle as he is more like our Lord.

    Side note: Are we really only 45 minutes from skiing/snowboarding?! Why have I been telling people "within an hour or two of the mountains"?
