   There was a time just a couple weeks ago that really defined my faith and really showed God’s plan for me here on earth.  I work at a golf corse with a bunch of people and because of that I have made a couple friends while working there.  Last summer I met this kid named Jeff and he seemed like he had it all together.  He was a validictorian, college football quarterback, and one of the top few best golfers in Idaho.  I became good friends with Jeff and worked with him last summer and again this summer.  This year he came to me and told me he was going to commit suicide and had a number of plans of how to do it and told me not to get involved.  I had to ignore him and tell his parents but I knew this was why God had put Jeff in my life.  I have been hanging around him a lot lately and things seem to be getting better, but I just loved the reason why he said he told me that he was going to commit suicide.  He said he told me because, “I was the nicest person he had ever met and because I had something he didn’t. 
   I had talked to Jeff alot about God before this moment and he always said he was a christian and a regular church attendee but I knew something wasn’t right.  Since he confessed to me his plan he has told me that he no longer believes there is a God and has been leading me on.  It is a work in progress right now but the fact that God’s light shinning through me showed to Jeff and yet I was still approachable to him just really hit me hard.  I thank God for blessing me with this task and I feel like this is also preparing me for Kenya and what he wants me to do for the rest of my life.
