We've had a lot of chill times this week and they were all good good times! 

Wednesday we played Ultimate Frisbee at 4 and it was SO HOT!!! I'm pretty sure we were playing on the sun! It was funny because we started and like 5 minutes in people just stopped playing but it was still good good times (mostly because I'm a boss at Ultimate)! After that we had a group of people come and watch Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows pt 1 and it was sooooo good! Shaquille got dead scared when the snakes jumped at the camera! haha

Thursday I read a ton of Crazy Love and got ready for the Worship Workshop. I had to pick Ethan (one of the youth) up from work and I got really lost and I was driving a large 17 passenger van and I was trying to turn around in some tiny driveway in and I had to do like a 22 point turn. I finally found the place and I got Ethan and we had Worship Workshop. That went really well. It was slow at first but more people showed up and the discussion got better and it was cool. After that we had chill time and like 10-15 youth came out and we played 4 square, pool, had a pillow fight and played ping pong. Hooray

Today, I found out that there was a documentary at the Sundance Festival about the abortion clinic and the pro life center across the street from each other on the corner of 12th and Delware IN FORT PIERCE!!! I watched it and it was wild! Then I finished Crazy Love and we had youth! A ton of kids came out and we played a ton of dominoes, ping pong, pool, and with Ali's ipad (that was rad)! I had a great time! The youth drank like 12- 2 liters of soda which was wild! 

Love you

Live it out, shout it loud!

Sunday was cool! Church was a VBS service. We sang and did all of our dances and it was cool. I was glad when it was finally over! Then we chilled out and we had Legit Sunday. It was Bahamian Independnce so not many people came out but we still had a good time!

Monday was a slow day. Nathan didn't feel great but he slept it off and then Thomas came over to give me back some clothes and we went to the beach. It was a day off for Bahamians because of Independence so the beach was packed! It was still fun but then we had to say goodbye to Thomas which was sad. Then James came over to give me some Gneps (spanish limes) and we went to get some ice cream but it was too expensive. Then I worked on stuff for leading worship on Sunday.

Today was productive. I sent out emails to people playing in the band. We went shopping and got some sweet deals on some groceries. I made a ton of facebook events for stuff coming up. I looked up my books for classes next fall. Then Nathan made country fried steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I loved today! It did go by fast though but it was solid.

love you!

5 fish, peas and grits!!! Oh when the saints...

So Friday, we were supposed to go to the big slide at crystal palace. We got lost going to Travis' and then we finally found his house n went to Ali's. We got her and went to BK and then waited for Karen and some other cousins. They got there a lil late and Nathan and I ran out of time to go on the slide. It was all good though, we went to Travis' and played with their puppy, Molly. They have 2 cats and they made my eyes really itchy and it hurt my right eye really bad, I like popped a blood vessel or something but it's better now. We went back to QC to have the last night of VBS. I was really relieved when it was done. I had a ton of fun but it was frustrating being in charge of a group. After VBS we rejoiced and chilled until bed time.

Today I woke up dead early at 7:00 AM. I finished watching Boardwalk Empire and read a little. At 11 we went to Harbour Bay, a shopping plaza, to do some last minute fundraising for the 30 Hour Famine we did. We raised $400 which was awesome. At 3 we wrapped it  up and we went on our way to the Bahamian National Soccer game! It was a FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Turks and Caicos and WE won 6-0! My boys Sykes, Smokey, Nesley, and Sealey brought it home for us! It was tons of fun and I loved it! It was on a turf field with only a few tiny bleachers for fans to sit on. There was a silly guy trying to get us to make noise and sing "When the Saints" and he said some goofy stuff. Entertaining. Tonight we're hangin out with some college kids and I'm excited!

Tomorrow we have VBS service at church where all the kids sing the songs and talk about how awesome VBS was! I can't wait!

Love!

<3 you Erica

Love you

yuh yuh yuh yuh yes to vuh vuh vuh vbs

So Wednesday was just as chill as Tuesday. I read a lot and hung out and chilled. Travis, Vilson, and I set up the church and then I got ready for VBS. VBS went well  and the kids are all awesome despite being extremely talkative. It rained all night so we had to tweak the schedule but it worked out. Then I watched Harry Potter 6!

Yesterday I woke up, and Amethyst was over so we went to the Haviannas store with Giselle. We shopped and then when we got back, Travis was here! Then a few more people came over and we hung out then went to the beach. We saw some couple get re-married and that was awesome. Then we went home, played with water balloons and cards. Then it was VBS time again. It's amazing how fast VBS goes by because it's only 2 hours long. We had fun singing and dancing again but then the power went out. luckily we just had like 20 minutes left and it came on anyways. Then we played  a ton of tag and then everyone went home.

Today we're going on this big inflatable slide and then VBS for the last time!!! Hooray!

love, josh

p.s. Erica I love you!

hear it! believe it! connect it!

I haven't blogged in a little while and according to Shaquille, I have a lot to talk about so here it goes.

Sunday we had an awesome time hanging with Syd and Sam from TEAMeffort. We drove them to the airport and had good talks about their time here and stuff. We got back and it was time for softball. I couldn't play at first because of a VBS meeting but after the meeting I went and had a ton of fun. After softball, Legit (college group) went to see Transformers 3D for James' birthday! I only liked the movie but a lot of people loved it! The power went out during the movie but the generator kicked in but it was still funny.

Monday was fun times. It was 4th of July but nobody cared around here. We went to the haviannas store because there's a sale and we went downtown and played tourist. We went to fireworks unlimited, which was kinda sketchy and got some ammo for the night. We had our first night of VBS which went okay. My group (grade 3-4) was big and they talked a lot but it was still fun. Then Amethyst, James, Nathan and I went to Cabbage to watch the Atlantis fireworks and they were gorgeous. I loved it

Tuesday was a chilltastic day! I just chilled all day. Read and watched some TV. Made Juan some lunch. Then I took a mini nap in my hammock and then got ice for VBS (This meant driving the huge van for the first time! ) Then we had vbs again. My group got smaller and less talkative which was nice. I also got an extra helper Savanna so she helped, along with Jade. We all had a good time then after VBS I had an amazing time running around with all the kids. Then I chilled more when they went home and then I crashed. Now I'm up and preppin for VBS for today! YAY

love

30 Hour Famine!

We just finished breaking the 30 hour famine! The weekend so far was awesome! We had a 30 hour famine meeting at 10 on Friday, and at 10:55 Travis and I were stuffing our faces for the famine that started at 11. Then Brandon and Ethan came over early and helped do some stuff. We then hung out and had praise week. The games we're kinda dull but the message and stuff was good. Then we kicked off into 30 hour famine mode. The power went out right away and it was a cool way to accidentally  start the night. We had some fun starting games and then set up tribes with a ton of carboard boxes. We just chilled for the night and I went to bed at 5:30am and woke up at 6:00am so I got a solid 30 minutes of sleep. We woke up all dead tired. Set up for church and sluggishly did more activities. It was still a load of fun. At 5 we had an ending worship service and communion and we broke the fast!!! We had some corn meal stuff that was kind of tasty, yet nutritious. Now, we're going to a place called the Cricket Club with Rev and we're gonna chow down! Tomorrow we're not going to church because we're driving TEAM effort staff to the airport. I'm excited but I'm currently extremely tired! 

love! 

Green Team Domination!

We still havin praise week! Wednesday was sweet! Nathan and I lead the worship with the help of some youth band people. It was great! We played a lot of goofy games then Travis slept over and we had a good time! Yesterday was praise week again! Travis and I woke up and walked around town searching for fireworks. No luck. Then we went to cabbage beach and team effort was there too! That was funsies! Then praise week happened and I played with the band. Nathan gave an awesome, much needed message on forgiveness and that rocked! We didn't drive Thomas home :( but Travis slept over again and we cooked some good pasta and hung out for a bit!

Today is the last day of praise week and the start of 30 hour famine at 11:00 AM!!! WOOOO I'm ready and excited!!!
