The Alps

Hey ya'll,
So, Saturday I totally went hiking in the Alps with my school. It was sooo awesome and incredibly gorgeous! I had an asthma attack at the very begining and the staff thought it was a better idea for me to walk up the paved path instead of the trail. Because my asthma gets worse with hight and cold wet air, it was still difficult, but I made it up and enjoyed a good lunch in the hut. Then, I walked down with a bunch of my friends. There is a picture of me and my friend Faith at the hut on my Facebook, but I haven't been able to upload any photos yet. She just "tagged" me in it (for those of you who know the facebook lingo). I'm waiting for my dad to send me a portable hard drive before I upload any pix so I don't slow down my new computer with too many pictures.
Anyway, this week has been great so far. We've had a lot of really good lectures on Personal Evangelism and I've thoroughly enjoyed them! We were also assigned a book to read (The Attributes of God by A.W. Pink) It's actually a hard book for me to read because he writes in like older language like "saith, and thy," but it's pretty good and I've actually taken a lot from it. I've taken quite a few notes. We have to have a book report written by next Thursday, so my goal for today is to finish the book, and write an outline! I'm so excited that I'm actually getting all my work done early and on time! I used to be a major procrastinator!
Already, God's been working in my life. I've been focused on Him and most of the time I choose God over going down to the email room to get on the computer. It's amazing!! At home I barely spent anytime with God and now my life is much more enjoyable and I already am building a closer relationship with God and I love it!!
Well, I guess that's all I've got for right now...I'll ttyl!! Love you!!!

Love in Christ,
Jill<><
