hey there! it’s chantelle along with allee, sarah, amanda, sean miles, and nadia hanging out at the internet cafe before we head on over to lunch. it’s been an amazing trip so far and i can now see that ryan makes sure he lets you guys know every single detail down to the last drop of sweat. we’re all hanging in there fine, we head down to the beach like every single day. we’ve been snorkeling, sailing, walking, we’ve tried shakes, to belot, to rice every single day. we’ve gotten familar with the neighborhood kids and they call us by our names along with the respectable title of “tito” “ate” or “kuya”. i can’t believe that we’ve been here for about a week now. and don’t worry about anything because blake is snapping away. today a few of us went down to the school to talk to a bunch of kids while the rest of the team started pouring cement. i’m excited to see what the next few days have in store for us as God just continues to use us in big ways, small ways, and ways that we will never know. every smile, every high five, every “hello” goes a long way. today at the school a lot of the kids took out their cameras and wanted pictures with us as if we were celebrities or super stars (they all really want to go to hollywood, it’s like their goal in life). but really, it’s great to understand that with the message and love that we share, the only person they or we will ever want to remember is Jesus!
alrighty so today is jessica’s birthday so be sure to drop her a comment and wish her a happy 23rd!
