Kristi,
Hey! How are you? My friends and I went to Lagoon last Friday. It was lots of fun! 3 of us went on the Sky Coaster. That was the best! It was pretty scary, though; just like sky diving from 150 feet in the air! Wow, I loved it! The falling feeling was great! I got to pull the cord that dropped us!
I leave for Oakcrest on Sunday… I told you I got a job there, right? I’m so excited! This will be tons of fun. I hope God will help me while I’m there so that I can overcome my problems and be happy. I hope I will bring myself closer to Him and make my testimony stronger.

Well, here I am at Oakcrest. I miss my parents already. I don’t have anyone to talk to about my feelings. I can’t wait for this pain to go away so I can be normal. I feel like I’m not worth very much up here. I really am doing my best but no one seems to think so. It has been a hard week. I hope it gets a little better because I love Oakcrest. In fact, someday, I want to own a camp just like it. I guess I’m just not ready after what happened. I feel like my relationship with God has gotten weaker. I don’t like the feeling of being so far from him. That’s what I hope to gain back here… my relationship with my Heavenly Father.
