Looks like I left off in Idaho. Well, Idaho's in the rear view mirror now as we set up camp in Utah for the next few weeks.

Week one is in the books. Crazy to say that out loud. A week ago, 20 teams cruised down Mt. Soledad and dispersed across the country. We've had some really good presentations so far, a lot of people we've met just want to know more and want to know how they can be more involved. We've presented at two Paul Mitchells, Blackfoot High School in Idaho and Utah Valley University. It's been a challenging week as I try to adjust my life to the  business of the road as I am constantly faced with situations where service and humility may not be the easiest route, but it certainly is the best one. It's been humbling to learn and hear stories from past roadies that we've stayed with and makes my time doing this now so much more unique and treasured. It has also been pretty tough to hear Patricia speak each day, at times I just want to shake my head and ask myself "How many more tours until this ends?" "How many more films must we make until Kony is captured?". That's probably been the hardest part, just being heartbroken by the realness of this conflict.

I apologize for how jumbled this is, as it truly doesn't give too much insight into my week, but hopefully this mess of words connects with you in some way. Honestly, this may be the format my posts will be over the next nine weeks!

I am positive that I lucked out by having the most gorgeous region of all, Utah is killin' me right now; there are mountains everywhere. Today we hiked up a waterfall, who knows what we'll do next. It's been an adventure, it's been a struggle, it's been an adjustment, it's been a blast...and it's only week one.

Please pray for clarity, trust, energy and a heart of service this next week. Thank you all for constantly refining and shaping me, and for pouring out your friendship and love on me, as I certainly don't deserve it.
