Weekends here are so fun! saturday and Sunday we do not have class, so we get to be outside more. Saturday we had work duties, and I am on the team that goes into town to grocery shop for the week. We take a boat into town and I am in charge of fruits and veggies. Its so much because its for the entire base for an entire week, but i feel like i got to know the town more and I met some really cool people. And its a super fun boat ride! after that we got the afternoon off to study, so i laid out and studied for a couple hours, then took a kayak out really far to a good snorkel spot and saw some awesome stuff. Last night we had a movie night, but i ended up studying. I am a little overwhelmed with all the work, but i love it, and i get to study in paradise, so I am more than happy to!
Today we had off as well. I spent the morning studying on the beach, and then biked 5 miles into town to an internet cafe. it was a fun bike ride, but a sand bike and biking on sand is VERY different than my road bike on the college station roads. It took about a mile of getting used to, but then I figured it out and LOVED biking by the water.
For my first book report I am reading Desiring God by John Piper. The Lord is already teaching me so much. I am almost done with my scuba diving book, and we will be certified by next weekend and have out first dive! I am PUMPED. I am in Leviticus in the bible, which is kinda boring, but I am trecking through!
I love my time here more everyday and am learning so much. Our first speaker comes tomorrow, so we are back to class tomorrow! I cant wait to share with yall what I learn.
Love yall!
