My first entry

WOOO! first entry! I've been here a full 3 days (feels like 3 months already) it's not as emotional for me as it was in the beginning. God has strengthened me a lot even in these few days. No matter how far away you are from the ones you love they're still always so wonderful and feel so close! I'm getting to know everyone more and more so it's making it easier to loosen up. Everyone is awesome and Godly and I really couldn't ask for anything more!

   Right now it's pouring and the sun in out. ahhh... only in the Bahamas. Stacie and I went to Paradise Island (P.I) and walked through Atlantis. Honestly, after being around the REAL Bahamas for only 3 days Atlantis just makes you sick! Which reminds me... ATTENTION: IN CASE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE BAHAMAS... 1.DON'T DRIVE CARS, MOPEDS OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE UNLESS A BAHAMIAN IS DRIVING YOU! YOU WILL GET HIT BY A CAR AND DIE! SERIOUSLY... DON'T DO IT. A LOT OF TOURISTS HAVE DIED. 2. DON'T GET A HAIR PLOIT (hair braided) UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND 3 TIMES AS MUCH AS A FRIEND DOING IT FOR YOU! AND NUMBER 3. WHY DON'T YOU GO JUST A LITTLE PASSED WHERE THE SHIP DROPS YOU OFF. YOU'LL SEE WHAT THE BAHAMAS ARE REALLY LIKE!!! Anyways... I'm still shadowing someone everyday so far so I can get an idea of what to do to actually lead a group of children around. but on Friday I'm playing as the puppets (YIKES!) I'm sure everyone has been praying for me but PLEASE never stop praying! I still don't have enough money to even live yet so if you could be praying about that in particular that would be great! Now that I'm more comfortable I want to be able it work on my relationship with God. To the girls of my small group: I want to thank you all so much for this book! I look forward to reading it everyday! To my mom and dad: Thanks for supporting me so much! You're so wonderful and I'm so lucky to have you! and To Jesse: you know how I feel, but I can never stop saying it!!! I love you so much and you are so wonderful! God has blessed me with one of the greatest men I've ever come to know. I wont say you're perfect but babe, I wouldn't ask for anyone else! :) But if we were talking about perfect, You're perfect for me!!! :) I'm done for now I'll try to update in a few days! Love you all and hope God is working in your life like he is mine!
