These are some of the friends I've made since coming to Utah! 
Aren't they PRESH!
The past week I've been under the weather. I don't know if it's just because I'm living in a new place or just allergies kicking in? But last Thursday we went rock climbing and had a blast! All of my Asian friends said they would never do rock climbing again. They didn't once and that was enough. I, however, am finding a new passion in rock climbing! It's so much fun! I don't know if I'll ever enjoy indoor rock walls again.
This past week I prepared for my back packing trip to Fish Lake. I packed up my life for the weekend and headed out to Fish Lake National Forest Friday afternoon. 
The weather wasn't lookin too good. The thunder was rolling and we saw lightning in the distance. Not cool. It ended up being cold and rainy the entire journey. He is good though and we were safe the entire time :)

This was an amazing trip and I would most definitely do it again. The terrain and scenery where unreal and nothing like the East Coast. Our first morning we heard some elk bucking antlers and we went out to watch. I tried to get a picture.
I don't think beavers know anything about leave no trace.
Overall we had an amazing time and I know He is leading me somewhere wonderful with this degree and hopefully one day being a leader/ guide for trips like this one.

I have been learning so much about myself and abiding.
Abiding in the One who provides an abundance of grace and peace in a broken heart like mine. He has brought me so far and I am thankful! How could I not be when I look back at my life a year to a year and a half ago when I was a freshman in college, searching for more and more rather than being thankful for all that has already been given to me. Paul wrote to Colosse to point them back to their roots. To point them to JC. We aren't supposed to be a broken people, but we are. We search for peace in so many things but Paul wants to remind us that we are to be in Shalom (ultimate peace) with the One who created us each individually.
I'm trying my best to let go of control and just allow myself to be available and usable and to constantly give thanks.
Much love,
LR
PS: let me know how I can be thinking of you! Also, more pictures are posted on Facebook.
