After the conference, my good friend, David and I went on a hiking trip in the Tatry Mountains.  It was one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever been on and probably the longest.  We hiked for 11 hours and covered 23 miles and two peaks.  It was a great time to push ourselves to the limit and to spend time fellowshipping and being renewed.  We processed the conference and our summers.  It is great when I can spend time with David.  We have a lot in common.  We are both Hoosiers, arrived on the field at the same time, and both love the outdoors and music.  I am thankful for good friends like him, who challenge me to be more like Christ.
