This is the LIFE!

  ROUTINE:
So our routine schedule is now starting! I am having such a blast here. Wake up at 7.. Man its camp all over again.. Haha! Then we have worship and devos most days and intersession on tuesdays! then we have lectures at like 900-1:00 with some break in here and there. Lunch is at one. and then sometimes were off or sometimes  we have sessions going on.At 430/500 each team has a day of kitchen duty which consists of making dinner and cleaning it up. My team is pretty great. We are the Belizable Tarter sauce! HAHAH...


   Home Sick
 I'm a little homesick but it comes and goes. I just really miss being with family and friends all the time but, I am loving the community living here. It brings me back to the days in Africa at boarding school not being able to see my parents for months and months to come. I feel like I want to be home but at the same time I want to be here. I want to bring my home here! I want to show everyone the paradise here! 


    How I feel!
In the next few weeks I have to lead a devo and I am super nervous. I mean what am I supposed to talk about I have never done this before! I know God willl provide in so many ways. I have ideas but I never know how to tie everything together. I'm not much of a public speaker and I really need to work on that! I am really hoping that in the future I can stand up on the stage and speak on something. I feel that leadership is a huge struggle with me. I am not one who really likes to say what they thing and I keep quiet alot. I'm not very good at explaining my reasoning for things and I really wanna work on being able to give my opinions. I want to be a leader because there is so much to a leader and I don't want to just be the person that follows everyone. Things need to change! I cant wait to see how God provides for me here! 
Scuba Diving!
I cant wait for scuba diving! I was scared in the beginning to try the certification but now I am so glad im going to be certified! It is so cool to actually be able to breath underwater! Never did i think I would have this opportunity! When we began the process in the pool it felt weird that the tanks were so light in water but heavy out of water! I thought i wouldnt be able to hold it. I thought i wouldnt be able to take out my breathing mouth piece and be able to put it back in. I thought i would just start choking. I thought that when we took our face masks off and had to put it back on I would have trouble getting the water out! I thought that the certification would be hard like how the lifeguard trainning was when i did that. This certification was easier than i expected. I wasnt as nervous anymore. I enojoyed every moment of it. When we had to watch the scuba videos it was like yeah i can do that now. We have done everything except for the diving part of our certification. This weekend we will be heading out to dive ! Can you believe it! 


I cant wait to upload pictures and all such things this weekend in town. Keep following and soon there will be plenty of pictures to look at and on Facebook as well!
