The Coconut Wire

To start off the month, my good friends and I went to go surfing on the west side of Kauai and the surf ended up being really bad. On the drive home, we made an accidental pit stop at Sky Dive Kauai. We ended up going skydiving, and it was INCREDIBLE. One of the most amazing sensations that I've ever had! It was a 10,000 foot jump with about 30 seconds of free-falling, then the parachute lets out. (Check out the Vid!)

Last week, I went to Arizona - and it was the hottest place I've ever been to! It was like 115 degrees, dry heat. Me and my mom drove like 8 hours to see the Grand Canyon. The drive was long, but the view was beautiful!

The next day I spoke at North Ridge Community Church and the day after that I went to Scottsdale Christian Academy and spoke there. Everyone I met was really nice, and we had a great time!

On the way home, we went to visit my grandma in California and now I'm leaving for a surf trip with my brothers! I'm excited to explore new parts of Indonesia and improve my surfing.

Have a great month!
