“Hello from Las Vegas!! This weekend we are having the first ever Las Vegas Quake. It is so weird how for our last one in Sacramento which was my first Quake ever, I was so nervous but for this one I am very excited that it is here.
 
We had the first celebration last night and there were some things that went wrong with the sound but over all it went really well. Our team got to lead campfire. It was so powerful to see youth worship our Lord and Savior. They just opened up their ears and hearts to the words that the Lord was putting in our mouths. When I was their age I don't remember my faith being as strong as some of these youth. I am looking forward to what amazing things the Lord has planned for us tomorrow.”

“Greetings from Colorado! I'm loving this state more and more each day. It is snowing. It is reminding me so much of home. Yea! Anyway, Saturday night we had a program in Grand Junction, Colorado. I got into a great talk with the teenagers attending our program. They were currently involved in 36-hour fast. How awesome! I was so moved by what they were doing. We sat and talked about all the things they had learned. They got to see a different perspective of what life was like outside of the privileges that we take for granted everyday. The point of this all was that our team now is going to try this sometime soon. I'm so excited!
 
Tonight we had a program in Gypsm, Colorado. So much fun! There was so much energy and I'm so thankful that I was given this opportunity to do this. I'm so thankful for each person that was put in my life. Each individual has taught me so much and I will forever carry these memories and lessons with me.”
