| Here's the full update I said would be coming. 
I safely arrived in Colorado early Wednesday (May 16th) morning after some flight
delays. My luggage didn't follow me, so that added to the
adventure...thankfully they found it and delivered it later Wednesday
afternoon.
On Wednesday evening, I began staff training with 34 fellow staff
members. We have a great crew with people from all over the US (even
Alaska and Canada!). For three full days, we were in classes for most
of the day learning all the ins and outs of being on staff. The
ministry at Summit is truly amazing and I feel very privileged to be
part of what God is doing out here. When we weren't in class (for just
a few hours each day), we worked on getting the hotel ready for the
students. We made beds, vacuumed floors, cleaned bathrooms, waxed
floors, and made sure that everything was in tip top shape.
On Friday night we had a cook out at a local park and spent the evening
playing sports of just hanging out. On Saturday night we had a bonfire
and spent time singing and sharing. About 8 of us went for a hike in
the dark and that was a lot of fun. Thankfully we didn't run into any
bears.
On Sunday (May 20th), 92 students arrived, so things are in full swing! For the
next two weeks, they'll be making Summit their home as they receive
some great worldview teaching from an amazing lineup of faculty. As
staff we have the privilege of leading small groups 5 times throughout
the students time here. I have 5 girls in my group (that I'm leading
with one of the other staff members) and I'm honored to be able to be
able to share in their lives.
My job at Summit is that of afternoon kitchen supervisor. I have 5
great people on my crew and they're doing a super job!! There's another
supervisor (also named Heather ) for the morning kitchen. We each have one day off a week, which is pretty nice. Summit treats their staff very well and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
I'll hopefully be able to post a few pictures from the area before too long...it's absolutely beautiful out here!!
Thanks again to
all of you who are praying for me - I really appreciate it!! |

| I've arrived!I'm on a short break and was able to snag a little internet time.
I have safely arrive in CO and am enjoying it so much already! It's
going to be an amazing summer! Once things settle down a little bit
next week, I'll post more details and maybe even a picture or two. I've got to scoot for now...almost supper time.

| My first entry!In just 5 short weeks, I will be heading out and will call CO home
until the beginning of September. Here are a couple of pictures of the area
where I'll be. I'm sure that there will be many more while I'm there. I had the opportunity to spend a little time out there this weekend and it's a beautiful part of the country...
Where I'll be living...
Pike's Peak
