Update

I arrived in Hawaii on August 31, 2007.
Because of Revolution Hawaii.
Last summer, I was a counselor in Oregon.
This summer (around Jun), I plan t0 be back there.
This fall, I should be in Long Beach, California.
Financially, I am doing better.
Details are coming.




BUT WITHIN MY HEAD


Ah, so many things are going on. I am in missionary training, for those who do not know. I have been volunteering for The Salvation Army for this past school year. I have been doing so many things. Right now, in this post, I am avoiding details. This means that I am not really telling you anything, right now. But do not get mad at my writings. I am just trying to update you on life.

MY FRIENDS

Do I have friends? I could be wrong, but I believe that I do have friends. I have so many people. I think. Maybe. There are so many nice people in this world. I am not sure if I am one of those nice people. And I have been growing up lately.

I AM GROWING UP

You can laugh at that statement. It must be strange for me to say that I am growing up. But I am. I have been taught so many things. I have experienced so much. Like, do not belate for meetings. Be more positive in life. Talk to people. Be more simple with people. Love people. Really do pray to the One you hold dear. I mean, forgive me for being so simple. Forgive me if I sound like a mess. i am. I ride the bus to my volunteer sites. But while I am riding the bus, I feel like a mess. I feel like a monster. I feel like nothing. And that is true. You pray that I remember that I do not have to stay like that. You dare me to get help from you know who. But I was still born a mess. Rob Noland, our director, gave a sermon about how he messes up, too (last Sunday night at a church). I was surprise when he said that he was not perfect. But I knew he wasn't. But of course we are not. We are in this, together.


HAWAII IS HALF CONGO JUNGLE AND EGYPTIAN DESERT

I mean, sometimes, I wonder what Hawaii is. I love it. I do. I love the people. The girls are not ugly at all (rather the opposite). I love it. I like. Da kine.
But I wonder, often, how can it be so raining at times like a jungle. But at other times, it is like a desert. When I was cleaning a window, I found a dried up lizard. It was like mummafied. It was like a mummy. Not a mommy. I mean, how do you spell it. And I kill spiders every once in a while. One time, I killed a big spider in the showers, first with my hand and then with a towel. A couple in my room, living room, and hallway. One time I slapped dead a spider with a newspaper. Ah.

But stay focus!
That is what I tell myself.
I may not know what is coming.
But I must keep on going.
Keep on doing.

Little by little.
Step by step.


Because in the end, the turtle will win the race (booyah, silly rabbit, Trixs are for turtles)!

And in the end, the youth are the future!
