The Big Rock

    I realize it has been quite a while since I have posted anything and I'm pretty sure that most of you are just sitting there waiting anxiously to hear from me. So I thought I should make a new post. This past weekend my roommate Jon and I went hiking with the students at the seminary here. Unlike most normal hikes, we hiked at night starting at midnight and hiking straight through the night. It was an awesome time and I took a lot of pictures so here they are for you to enjoy!

The beginning of the long way down.

So beautiful

I laid down at the edge to take this. Its literally a 100+ foot drop.
The trail was really hard sometimes

Jon being a MAN

I was pumped. Except for the huge spiders.

The trail went through some really thick areas.

Crazy washouts.

Roughly 4 feet deep

Nice view

Me at the top. The wind was super strong.

     Well there you have it. An update on my life. One of the cool things I got to do. Otherwise, I'm still working hard here learning my purtugues and learning to fit it. Its getting a lot better! I'm making friends and I'm able to communicate with them a little better then before. If you want to ask me questions or just talk, I'm on facebook and here's my email! thechris16@gmail.com
