Hey it’s Leah and Ellie blogging tonight! This morning a couple of us got up at 6 AM to go to the beach. I still can’t believe how God created such beautiful things. We all ate breakfast and headed out around 8 AM to a Christian school for younger kids. They’re the cutest things in the whole entire world. After that we took a while to go souvenir shopping! Let me just say, it’s hard to pick out things in order for people to like it. And bargaining is very difficult for some people and very hilarious for other people. haha. Words coming from Brandy, “first you have to make them laugh, then you have to be nice, then you have to act like you want it reallllly bad, then you have to say you still need money for lunch or you have to support your family and finally you say your walking away.”

It was extremely hot so the air conditioned bus felt so good! So after shopping we had about 3 hours to just hang out and eat. We had some pizza and then went to the beach for most likely the last time. When we went to the beach Rachel thought she saw a shark so she screamed but it turned out there were 2 dolphins! Pastor John followed them and pet one’s belly but then it bit him and he flipped out. The dolphin’s name was JoJo and the natives know him for acting like he wants to be pet and then biting tourists. Most of us looked like lobsters from all the sun we got today. Especially P. John and Troy but Leah didn’t at all! Next we went to the Sports Camp to set up. We had a little less kids then yesterday but it’s only because they had graduation today and the there were bus problems. Everything was a lot more organized today and we did a couple dramas for them. We ate dinner on the field and tragically found out the Michael Jackson died today and Jason Jobe was and still is very depressed and needs Devin to comfort him in his time of need. Speaking of the Jobe’s, they’re anniversary is today! So happy anniversary to them.

We were all real tired but we still had another service to do. This church was outside in a parking lot but the area doesn’t matter because these people were excited for God and you could just feel His presence there. It was a good and powerful service and we all prayed for each other. It was awesome.

Finally we headed back to the hotel and now I’m here blogging with Ellie! Tomorrow’s going to be a good day. It’s our last ministry day and our last day of Sports Camp also. It’s going to be sad to say goodbye but I think we left hope with them and Jesus will stay with them. Keep praying for us and that’ll be enough. We’ll be back soon! We love all you guys so much!

Much love,
Leah and Ellie

Now I’m done. haha!
