Summer has about come to a close. It is very hard to believe. It was a season that started with graduating high school and ended with National Fine Arts in North Carolina. Though I don't start school for a couple of more weeks, I still view it as the end of a great summer.
I would describe this summer as unforgettable. It has capped off 13 years of my life that I cannot believe is gone. The majority of the people I grew up with will be moving away in the coming days and I will never see many of them again. I wish them the best.
Despite the departure of my friends, I was still blessed with some great final months. It all began with Ecuador. I miss that place so much. My life will never be the same because of that small country in South America. To go along with that amazing experience, I attended my final Youth Camp plus I got a better job at work. My summer's final event was National Fine Arts in North Carolina. It was a good trip. The team did well and we had many fun things to do while down there.
The trip was bittersweet the entire week, however, because I know it is the end of my time as a student in HSYM. I feel like I was a leader for the past couple of years and I hope I was able to help some of the younger students and be a role model. I know I am still able to attend Wednesday night services and youth events but HSYM is really for middle and high school students. It is time for new leaders to emerge and continue to make the youth group great. I expect nothing less than that.

Just read this, but wanted to encourage you that you have been a faithful force in HSYM. You may be getting older, but you are still a mighty big influence over and on the others! God has given you a quite strength that speaks volumes to all who watch your life. God is going to do some new things in you, but you are still valued by all of us! Thanks for all you have done and for your willingness to follow God with the new stuff. God bless you as you grow! :)
