I can hardly believe that we have already been in this beautiful country for a week! The word I would use to describe this past week would be loved. It has been a lot of information and new places and faces, but everywhere we go it's so obvious that we are being welcomed with open arms. Already this group of 40 people that have been smashed together from all over the world is bonding and forming relationship and growing together in Christ. It has been amazing to experience so far. I am so excited to see where the Lord takes us and how He is going to grow us all on this journey.
Sundays are free days, and today I am staying on the ship to finish some homework. We have a journal we write in every week and turn in to our one on one leader every week and also a workbook that goes along with what we're studying. I have been so impressed with the speakers we've had so far. They've done a great job, and I know we have more amazing men and women of God coming to share and speak with us.
Saturdays are youth day on the base. The first three hours are group activities and then the last 5 are a mix of everything. It's a great time for crew (what they call the kids) to come from all over the community and hang out in a safe environment. They also get to do some pretty cool stuff.
I've been catching up on sleep this weekend and trying to let my body heal itself! Quite a few of us are sharing a cold or something and have coughs and scratchy voices. We're hopeful it'll pass quickly.
Have a great weekend!
