Hey guys,

I arrived back in the states on May 16th, where I was picked up by my twin sister Brittney, my mom, my dad, and my 2 little sisters. That was a huge surprise to me since I thought Brittney was going to be the only one there, but with that all in mind we stayed in Las Vegas for the night and then off to California for the next nine days. We visited and stayed at a family friends house for 2 nights and left to continue our travels up towards Fresno where our family lives. On our way through we stopped at Six Flags for the day and then off the Visalia where my aunt Barbara lives. There I stayed for a week where I attended my cousins wedding. Then just a week ago Brittney and I took what is called the AMTRAK from Visalia to Bakersfield, where we got off onto a Bus which took us to Los Angeles and from there we got onto our last AMTRAK (a train) for the next 10 hours to Flagstaff, Arizona where I am currently living for the next 19 days. It has been quite the adventure the last couple weeks and I have enjoyed much of it, although it is a very different life back in the states, I enjoy the freedom, the people and the places I have traveled too. Now that I am back I have been seeking the LORD for the guidance to the next season of my life. I am looking at Christian colleges all over the united states and I have found quite a few that I really like. I have a peace about going to school and continuing my education so that I can also continue my life doing missions and supporting people on the mission field. Right now in my life I am just waiting on the Lord to bring me to a new place where I will start a new season of my life. I am very excited to see this all come to play and I will be returning to Alaska on June 21st ,a Saturday. I look forward to seeing those familiar faces and catching up on life itself. Please feel free to contact me via email or phone to make coffee dates or whatever you want to call them. That may sound weird but there are lots of people that may want to hear what I did and how it went and I would love to share with you in more than just 3 words that sound a lot like this " IT WAS GOOD"!!! that is not really the way I have in mind to answer your question about my trip to Africa so please do feel free to ask me to hang out and I will spill everything to you. Thank you guys. Love AUBS
