Yesterday we went to the beach! on the way the view was crazy gorgeous. we passed this beach called sandies, which is the beach where the most necks in the US get broken. but we went to a beach that was farther down, the waves were still really big though. i got in expecting nothing to happen but the waves brought me under and almost drowned me, so i decided to get out. it was really fun though. the water was so blue! here are some pictures.

yeah i know youre looking at those pictures and feeling a lot of jealousy. but i did get sun burnt, so did everyone else on the team. one kid has bllisters all over his shoulders because he thought he didnt need sunscreen- i think we all learned that the rays here are much more intense. after the beach  everyone came back and i went to the mall with a few people. then we came home and went to sleep!

and today the staff gave us a list of churches to choose from, and i went to one called Christ Fellowship. and it was very ironic because the people who started the church were actually from denton, and the pastor ha a sister that lives in rockwall. so it was cool to talk to them. after church me and two other girls walked to mcdonalds, and the drive thru had a conveyor belt that ran through the ceiling of the restaraunt and connected to the little take-out window. it was weird. here's a picture

but now everyone is just back at the base relaxing. the sun has really worn me out.

i hope everyones not getting bored with reading this! and i still need prayer. my mind is racing so i really just ask that everyone will pray for peace and understanding, as well as patience for me. thanks again for your support! it still means the world to me :D
