things are a brewin

Yest was amazing. I didn't end up having church on the beach, but I did go to church at a Mega City church with a group from the yp. It was pretty great just getting to worship together. It's always so cool for me to see how other people from other cultures worship. SO awesome.

Once we got back, we all ate our lunches, and split into groups. I went with 13 of us to the city..which is only a matter of min away from the bus. I honestly don't even remember what we did haha. I do know we watched a street magician and lost Megan afterwards..and eventually we went and had coffee. Seriously the best coffee I've ever had. It was funny though, because when I was ordering my "Mocha", the guy kept thinking I was saying "Meat Burgers". What. The. Heck. How do you get Meat burgers out of Mocha? HA. I thought that was pretty funny. We all sat around a big table. The twelve of us, played a memory game with cards, got extrememly loud and almost kicked out of the place. But it was super fun none the less. Later on, we all got together at the park, to go over to another park about 20 min away...there are a lot of parks here. I love it. We were at a river and we all had loads of hamburgers and caffine chips. Verry yummy. I met a few new people and had some good conversations with some of them.
I've been hearing a lot of crazy stories from a lot of new people from around the world. It's really awesome. After the bbq last night, We all went back to the base. We are the first class to be in this new base, so we're all pretty excited to break it in. The staff members were just sharing their hearts and what all God has been telling them about what these next 6 months will bring. It was so good I was seriously holding back tears. It was a huge confirmation for me that this is really were I'm supposed to be. I can't wait to go deeper and deeper into a crazy love for Jesus.

Then we all played a game of celebraties..I"m not going to try to explain it...but I sucked at it..I don't know celebrities! So that was random, but they made super amazing sundays for us afterwards which were dilicious. Then, a few of us went back to the girls house to play dutch blitz. Which I actually didn't become apart of the game. Instead, had some awesome talks with Tyler. A lot of people have been telling me here that I'm def a leader. Which is so weird because I've def been known as a follower. But even Tyler yest was saying that I seemed super confident and comfortable. He said I seemed a little shy the first day, but eveyone already knew eachother so that was understandable. But he saw right away that I was a leader. Megan said the same thing. I just think that's so weird. But I love it. I want to be a leader.

Anyways, we were both about in tears after our talk haha. Bonding moment! But it was just so good to encourage eachother, and to see eachothers passions. I love hearing people's passions!

Anyways, I gotta go. Here in about two hours, the YP officially starts and I'm so excited to get going!

Love you all, and miss you dearly.
