Hard to believe that I'll be leaving here tomorrow evening. Almost everyone is off doing the glacier walk today, and I'm just hanging around Elvheim with Darrell, Annette and Dylan. Darrell Sr. and Sandy left this morning on the same bus that everyone else took to get to the glacier. I already miss them; it's been great to get to know them over the summer and to be able to draw from their wisdom and experience. Today also marks another ending: the final day of the 20-20 club, as everyone will do their final fjord jump once they get back from the glacier and say the verses they memorized. Thankfiully I was a little ahead of schedule and got all my 20 fjord jumps in before my accident, otherwise I'd be in a tough spot. I do need to brush up on my verses sometime today; I'm working on memorizing Matthew 5-7 as part of a bigger project, so I've got Matthew 5:1-20 ready to go for tonight.

Had a good talk with Darrell after everyone left this morning... we read through Romans 12 together and spent some time talking about the summer. He shared some encouragements and challenges with me, and we talked about how the different facets of the summer program work to build unity as well as spur on personal growth. I wish I'd grabbed more time with him over the course of the summer - he's a kindred spirit in lots of ways, and those are hard to come by - but that being said, I'm thankful for the time that we did have together.

I desperately need to do some laundry today, and I plan on catching a nap at some point too. It's nice to have the place almost to myself for some R&R&R (rest, relaxation, and reflection). I keep on telling myself that I need to sit down and spend another several hours writing about Zosna camp, but my shoulder makes sitting down to write for any length of time an awkwardly painful proposition. I got online at the fjordstava to check on flight prices from Oregon to Maine... and they were cheap enough to be a realistic option. Still trying to decide if I'm ready and/or willing to completely give up on my cross-country road trip adventure extravaganza. I think I need to decide something today, one way or the other... the future is quickly becoming the present.
