This past week of my life has been so amazing. I have been challenged you spiritually, mentally, and physically. I developed relationships with so many wonderful people. I cant even explain all that happened this past week.
Sadly it was storming this morning and we didn't end up going over to Blackwood for our morning session to teach ESL. Instead half of us work on donations distribution and the group I was a part of prepared our skit for Saturday's youth group. It was a productive morning even though it wasn't what we originally planned. We had quite a lot of free time at lunch to explore the island. Walking along a sand bar out into the ocean. We took the 3:00pm ferry to Eleuthera. Our afternoon was full of playing with the children. The weather cleared up and the afternoon was absolutely beautiful. All of the children ran over to us.

On the 14th of January, I volunteered to lead the Children's Ministry team of our trip. This means I am in charge of planning the "VBS" for the children. Basically this trip has made me very busy. I am still so overwhelmed and it still feels so unreal. I leave in 3 weeks, it's bizarre!! I have been learning lots of French and so much about the culture in the Bahamas. There are so many amazing traditions there. God has truly been challenging me as I prepare for this trip. Twenty- three days to go until I am in Spanish Wells. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me.
