Quick Update:

For the past week my group and I have been up in the mountains of Hawaii learning to hear and recognize the voice of God. There wasn't any wifi or cell service, so that's why I've not updated recently. We just got back to Kona, so I figured I should update the blog a bit.
It was incredibly relaxing and peaceful, and very much a bonding experience. We played many different card games, group games, and went on hikes. Our leaders made a point for us to grow closer with the people we'll be going on outreach with; I'll be going to Papua New Guinea with 12 other people, and have bonded with most of them.
I made the decision to go to PNG with God's help; I don't know anything about Papua New Guinea and I don't know what I'll be doing or what it'll be like, but I'll be going.
We were told our outreach locations about a week and a half ago, and were given a few days to pray, talk with parents and pastors, and ultimately make our decisions. Us students weren't allowed to discuss the decision process with the others on campus, or say where we would prefer to travel. We weren't even told which leaders would be going where. Their desire was to focus the decision making process on God and for us each to go where He wanted us to, and it worked well.
I'll be going with 2 of my roommates, which was a wonderful surprise and made me content with PNG.
