Half Way There.....

Hey PeepS? I just realized there are comments on this blogpost and just read them all. Thanks for the awesome words of encouragement. So Irealized I haven't really told you all what I've been doing...I have about 20 minutes to do it in so here's a synopsis.

We're half way through our trip. Can you believe it? Way crazy. We have been training a ton on how to share our faith. This saturday we will actually be teaching it to a local church. The schedule has changed up alittle, but for the most part we are on track.

The first week was grooling. We had a lot of training, morning, noon, and night. It definetly got the best of me. After that we started slowing down. We got the main point ofview of sharing our faith and at week three we are learning how to teach it.

We have been going into several villages to share our faith but also to do some projects. The people here are rediculously friendly, drive like maniacs, but yet there is no road rage. Crazy! Like I said, the people here are friendly, and are always upfor a conversation. The kids are SO Adorable too. We have so far painted two houses and havea nother one to paint next week.

Our time off consists of swimming and volleyball. We stopped at Mana Island a couple weeks ago and got in some good Snorkeling. That was a tad difficult because the tide was out, but it was pretty awesome to see all of these amazingly exotic fish! I loved it...although i realize now i'm a tad scared of open water.

The following weekend we spent our time at, supposedly, 'The World's 7th Best Beach.' Natadala (or there close to it). ITwas GORGEOUS there. Don't worry...plenty of pics, I will FOR SURE update this when I get home with everything. The waves were huge, and I got to body surf for the first time whichwas a lot of fun.

I'm thinking that's about it. We're going to do some more shopping in town today. Should be fun. OH! Today when we got into town there was a sweet show going on down at the market. There were fire dancers and breatheres and regular dancers as well. That was a great surprise to watch as well!


Hope all is well back home. Things are HOTHOTHOT here...and unfortunetly I lost out on that$100 bet John. I have a tan. :) I hope all is well and wish you guys nothing but the best!
