So, I've got some big news!
I accepted a position in the high school ministry at Calvary Church of Santa Ana!!
Linds and I fell in love with this church and the staff right away. They've got huge hearts, an amazing reputation, and a really compelling vision! We'll be joining a team that already has a thousand amazing things going for them. We haven't nailed down a start date, but I think we're aiming for June 22nd. That's their promotion Sunday, so... I'll be new and scared, the incoming freshmen will be new and scared, and it will be perfect :)
We're definitely sad to say goodbye to our amazing friends in AZ. We love you guys so much, and you are all invited to come and visit us any time! We may be in an apartment for a little while, so you might be on the couch, but who cares?!?! We're like ten minutes from the beach, and Disneyland, and I'm sure a million other things.
Much more info to come!

I'm positive those kids will love you a ton, and I'm glad that they get to get a slice of your heart and see what you're motives are. You've taught me so much and inspired me to do things that keep me growing everyday. You HAVE to get them to come to hume next summer on the same week as us!
We going to hang out oneeee more time at least before you leave? Hopefully you're not tooo busy anymore, now that you don't have to worry about unemployment :p

Wow! I am sooo excited for you guys. They have no idea what a great team they are getting. Congratulations.
Brian. Maybe some day you'll see what God is doing at Calvary up close and in person, eh, eh, wink?! haha. I've already got Chavez coming after his summer in Mexico!!!
Merge kiddos: Good grief I'm gonna miss you guys. Move to Santa Ana when you graduate!!
Pablo. You're not a real drug dealer, because drug dealers aren't awake at 9:18 am.

Dale, you're uh, kinda late
Hey, I'm Rhoni. I am one of the students of the High School Group at Calvary Church of Santa Ana. I'm a freshman now, but when you get here, I'll be a sophomore. I've never seen you before, but just by reading the comments of others, I know you're a great guy. I'm really glad you are coming to replace Matt. My friend, Elaine, says she saw you speak once and she was hoping that the church would pick you for the job, and they did. We need a really good pastor to replace Matt. My dad told me that he talked to you for a bit at Man Camp and said that you seemed like a really fun guy. I can't wait to meet you!
Hi Rhoni!
Thanks so much for the comment. I'll see you in a few weeks!
