My time on Kauai has been SO great. This week was our first week of class time and it was such a busy week! Everyday we have quiet time with Jesus, class time, meals together and then worship or intersession or work duties...lets just say its busy. Internet has been very very scarce, but hopefully we'll have it soon! Here's a little tiny picture of my life here so far:
This is my family for the next 7 months, minus our leaders. It has been so fun to get to know each and every one of them! I'm excited that we all get to grow and learn together.

Last Saturday we went on a scavenger hunt around the island and learned how to surf. I wish i had pictures of me "surfing" :). We have gotten to see only a few of the beautiful sights to be seen on Kauai and I can't wait to continue our adventures on the weekends! Here's a few adventure pictures:
The girls on my scavenger hunt team and I by the Kilauea Light House
Me on the rocks by Queens Bath, a place that is notorious for deaths
Nikki and I with our new Hawaiian friend Paris
My school leader Kimberly beside the waterfall we jumped off for rec time this week!
So pretty much, our time together has been wonderful. We have loved getting to know each other and it already feels like we have been together forever! Our class time this week was spent talking about learning to hear God's voice and having intimacy with Him. I am loving all that I am learning. I'm sure I'll post more on that sometime soon! Also, I found out that I am going to go to the Philippines and Indonesia for outreach! We will be in the Philippines for three weeks working and learning from a ministry that gets girls out of sex trafficking. Then we will head over to Indonesia where we will be partnering with YWAM Bali to pioneer the same type of ministry in Bali. I am SO SO excited. The more time we spend praying and preparing as a team the more I am ready to jump on a plane and go! I know our 4 and a half months there will be so great and God has great things planned!
Thanks to all of you who helped get me to YWAM Kauai. I know that God has such great things in store for me these next 7 months of my life...and I can't wait to see who I am when I come back to Knoxville! I'll keep soaking up the sun for yall!
Love you and aloha,
Carrie
