Tomorrow we are going on the Basic Training Retreat (or BTR as they say in the business). We are going to a summer camp up north and chillin' till Wednesday. Should be fun. But if I am out of touch, that's why.

Life in the 'Shire
Hola. Here is an update and pictures. So far we have had: 2 service days, 6 days of training, 1 trip to the school where I will be tutoring middle school students, 2 hikes, and lots of laughs. There have been a few tense moments with my team, but I am confident that we will find a way to work it out.
These are my awesome roommates after our second day of service. We helped out at a 200 mile relay race across the state. The runners go all night for 24 hours straight. Crazy.
Amanda worked the night shift so she was a bit tired by the time I took this picture. Her team all wore funny wigs to help the time pass, so, no, that's not her real hair :)
So after working for 10 hours yesterday, we got up and hiked a mountain. It was an easy incline, but the view from the peak was beautiful. It awed me so much that I had to take a nap before heading down.
And yes, it was only 2804 ft. in elevation, but when most of the state is at sea level that is a tall peak. A little trivia, the highest point in New Hampshire is Mt. Washington at 6,288 ft. We are hoping to hike that before the end of the year!

Looks fun, Mich.
I don't know how you can breathe at sea level, but I hear the Fall colors in the Northeast are unmatched.
Yea, there is a whole radio station devoted to the fall foliage... They tell you where to find the best leaves. Does that seem a little strange to you? Hmmm... But I am excited, it should be beautiful.
