Gathering to Wish Jake Farewell









Three

Family and friends gathered from near and far to wish Jake well and to say farewell for the next two years.  Jake is a friend to many and was truly overwhelmed by the support he received.  We are excited as his circle of friends will only grow over the next two years. 



Preparing to Serve - Part Three


Finally, after 10 months Jake was reunited with his best surf bro, Jeremy.
This meant he had three weeks to get in as much surfing as possible, and they did!
They even went on a mini surf safari down the coast of Southern Cal
 living out of Jeremy's white van.

















Jake's last three weeks also included
transforming his surfboard with the help
of Alexis' artistic ability and with Desi's 
watchful eye.  They designed the pattern
of stripes along with the "psych" logo.  
Hours were spent working to perfect his 
board to be on display for the next two years. 
Jake also felt inspired to include a drawing
of the Savior Jesus Christ on the bottom of 
his surfboard.  At one time Jake made the 
comment that Christ would keep him afloat.  
I took that both as literally and figuratively as
only a mother would take it.
