My first night was amazing! We just got settled into our room with the help of my new friend Rumell, and then we went to the prayer service. We didn't know where the meeting was so we traveled around and finally found it 15 minutes late but whatevs, I'm told that's the Bahamian way lol. Anyways the meeting was so good! Pastor Neilly talked about something so simple yet so powerful, the Lords Prayer. We prayed for quite some time. I had a lot of prayers directed at me which was awesome! Then Nathan lead some songs (I sang harmony!!!) and afterwards, a member of the church gave me and Nathan $50! What a blessing! It's encouraging to see members of the church on fire for Jesus and who were willing to do anything to further His kingdom! I'm excited to work with all of the people I met and I'm excited to meet more people too (and finally play some soccer)! Today we're having lunch with some dudes from the church so we can meet and talk about the rest of the summers plans!
Yesterday when we were setting up beds, Nathan says "I won't EVER need this big blanket" and he puts it away.... I wake up and the 1st thing I see is Nathan in that huge blanket haha. It's so cold in our room!
Last night I watched this video...it was really funny but it got me thinking... While I'm here I have to be intentional about helping people out and I always have to be on the look out for people to go talk to and for things to do because odds are, they are not going to come to me so I'm gonna be on the lookout for the moonwalking bear this summer!
love you! bye
