Last night of family groups

And instead of sticky and hot, its sticky and lightning-y and thunder-y.

Today was an amazing recovery from our bug bites and tired feet from climbing rocks.
The construction went great, we got the most important part acomplished which was putting up forms which includes carrying nearly 600 pounds of wicked heavy bulletwood across a slim scafold along with three other people, too.

No VBS today, though. We still had some neighborhood kids come around and actually help us with our construction which was rad cause they totally didn't have to! After the construction was over, our brilliant leaders gave us the choice to go the the beach or souvenier shopping (be expecting stuff, mom) or staying at the construction site with great endurance. We found a great shop that everyone loved omit the part about how small it was and how we tried to fit around 12 people in there, but nonetheless, there was tons of genuine Belizean trinkets. Most of the stores here are more like $1 Stores, with factory produced items and crammed with half-opened boxes and lots of junk.

After we all got home and showered and started to relax, you could find more intriguing conversations, people trying to figure out crazy riddles, ninjas playing intense games, and teaching new friends new games. It was so great to see a moment like that, where everyone was so beyond happy. One of the coolest parts of the night was a big lightning and thunder storm that past right over us, while fireflies buzzed around our trees.

After the solid moment of sprinkling rain, we went to listen to two guys who came on this trip and their stories. Royer and Brent are two guys who went through a very tough life involving drugs, violence, and finally rehab, where they found Christ and fell in love with the feeling of being a true Christian.

Then come after the devotional about lifting each other up, we broke into our family groups where we had a wicked awesome experience of praising each other. We had one person in our group sit in "the chair" where everyone else said exactly what they loved about that person, and I was in awe at how people felt about not only me, but how I came to realize all the things i love about everyone in return. Its such a rad feeling that you have a family of people who care enough to spend time to get to know you and actually love you when they don't have to.
