Hey everyone,
Well, here at APU we are in our second week back from
Easter break. Over break my whole family was in Mexico... My mom and brother were
in Tijuana on a
mission’s trip with the high school group from our church at home. My Dad was
working but took a few days off and surprised the group with a few other people
from the church and helped with finish the work around the mission’s site. I
was also in Mexico
lifting up the name of Jesus and suffering for Jesus in…………….. Cancun..... Ok not really. I was on vacation in the
Rivera Maya, just outside of Cancun. I went
with my girlfriend’s family and had a blast. We saw the Mayan ruins, went
snorkeling, ate some great food and got really sunburned (despite repeated
application of sunscreen).
I returned from Mexico and was home for a few days
to see family and celebrate my birthday. (However, as a side note, I was not
celebrating the loss of my luggage by Mexicana Airlines for 4 days) It was a
great time being home and I went out to dinner at my favorite restaurant,
Woolgrowers (its Basque food). One night at home we had BBQ ribs and a four
layer chocolate cake that my Dad made for my birthday. He is an awesome cook!
Well there are about 4 weeks left in the semester, and I am
ready for summer break. Unfortunately these last few weeks are going to be
really tough. Hopefully I will be sustaining my grades in most classes and
bring them up in one.
My triathlon (final for my triathlon class) is almost here.
I have still been training throughout the semester and we compete at the end of
the month (April 27). I also have a new goal in mind that will give me plenty
of training over the summer. I plan on riding from Seattle
to Portland in
July (Cascade STP ride); that’s 200 miles, in two days, with my Dad and a few other
guys from my church. I am really excited it should be fun!!
That’s
all for now,
Josh
