Day 18

The night of the 26th I was on telemark skiing specialization. I spent the day praying for strength as I lead my team by compass up a ridge line, switchbacking as the sun lowered into the night.

As I finally settled into my sleeping bag, I wrote this down:

Father, you've strengthened me

given me more than I should receive

to see the sun on a

mountain in january

to be warm for a long night.
