This weekend I was assigned to work as a server in pine tree, however we had over 1000 people on the hill and we needed a little more help in the kitchen. So I was able to cook and get to know what goes on behind the scenes at Hume. The weekend conferences only lasted till Saturday, as a result I only had to work on Friday and half of Saturday.
Saturday afternoon I was able to go snowshoeing with Jordan Stonerholm and a few of my other friends up here. It was a blast; we arrived at our destination: Buena Vista, at sunset and the reflection of the setting sun on the snow, and later the moon, was a spectacular view. There came a point on the hike when we were climbing nearly straight up and could see the Moon and all the stars in the sky. It was a spectacular view at the top, we could see 360 degrees around us at the moon soaked mountain ranges. I could not help but marvel at how amazing a God we have that could make something as beautiful as the sights we saw and as enormous as the stars and still care about us enough and love us enough to send His only Son to die for all of the atrocities we have committed so that we could spend eternity with Him in heaven.
I tried as hard as I could to get all the stars, but it just didnt work...
Sunday we were able to take a trip to the General Grant Tree in Kings canyon National Park, and were surprised to see the 85th annual Christmas celebration and Veterans Memorial service. We stayed to watch the old carol singers sing Christmas songs in many different genres including rock and rap, and watch the ROTC color guard present the colors and salute the veterans. It was a great time full of fond memories and fun people.
