Aloha!

		Psalm 139:7:14 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
		If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
		even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
		If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,"
		even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
		For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
		I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.  Hello Friends,          Well, here I am. Kapaa, Kaua'i! I've been here a few and a couple days and the time has been flying by!  The day we arrived I went up to the north shore for a womens prayer retreat with Calvary Chapel Kauai. It was a wonderful way to begin my time here. We had lots of quiet time with the Lord and fellowship with one another. It was when I was there, sitting by the ocean, feeling a little homesick and ill prepared that I came to the saving knowledge that God the Father is my home and where ever he puts me on this earth I can be content because He is everywhere. God is great and I'm SO glad that I get to be called one of his children and serve him with my life.      After the womens retreat I we came back to camp and got settled it to our luxury safari tent. I have two roommates who are super fun and great to be around with. We are the three female interns this semester and will be working together with the students and other projects. I love our tent. The campus is really fun and....campy.      Kauai Bible College's semester starts on the 2nd of February, and the students arrive this week. The past few days we've been working on getting the campus ready for them. We've accomplished alot in a short amount of time because we've all been working together. I'm VERY excited to get this semester rolling and begin the great task that's ahead.         Prayer Requests:     Pray for the students as the are traveling out here that the Lord would keep them safe. Pray that God will prepare their hearts for the semester and that they would be ready to learn from the Lord, the staff and the experiences they have while they are here.      Pray for the staff and interns to be wise in all the decisions that we make on a day to day basis. Pray that God would give us grace as some of us (some of the other interns and me) are doing this for the first time. That we would walk by faith and not by sight. Pray for strength and patience for us all, the days can get long and hot and being humans, we can be irritable and difficult to deal with. Pray that we would have unity and be a team working toward the same goal, making disciples by leading as examples in the way of Jesus Christ.  I'll have pictures up in the near future with more information on what I'm up to!   Thank you all so much for your support and partnership in the gospel of our Lord Christ Jesus. Blessings to you and your families.    Smiles in Jesus,   Emily Clawson
