Wow this week flew by! We had two professor named Jack Kody and Skip Anderson this week. They talked about The Father Heart of God. We spent so much time learning, I probably can't even sum it up! They had eleven points about God as our Father. I learned so much and it was so incredible! We had class from 9:30 to 12:30 with a ten-minute break at 10:30 and 11:30 and every time they said "ok break time" I would get so confused because I'd think we'd just had a break! I learned sooooooo much! One day, Jack had us cancel our group exercise and small group so he could take us out for a surprise. We drove to the ocean and started walking down. All of a sudden we realized Sarvia and Jack had stopped, so we went back. They were negotiating a price for an hour boat ride on the ocean! We got to go out for an hour and see the ocean, the sea lions, and the dolphins! It was awesome! We also started small groups and spanish class this week. My small group consists of Sarvia, JP, Ruth, Sjoerd, and myself. Spanish class is killer, but I only had to take it two times. From now on I'm going to help Sarvia with her chores and talk to her in Spanish during that time. We also started work duties. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I work in the kitchen from 3:30 to 5:30. On Thursday we had a local ministry opportunity. We went to the house of a woman who started a ministry for kids and we painted. The ministry she started, began with three children. She had done it for eight years and now there are 80 children involved! So we got to help her out a little bit and then we got to pray with her that they would be able to buy more land so they can fit all of the kids. Tonight we had our first group exercise. We tried to play volleyball, but no one really exercised. So then we played soccer, but that didn't really work either. So then we all ran into the ocean and started a game of "all the girls try to dump Sjoerd in the ocean". That finally made us all work out! We were running and laughing so much and now my legs and stomach hurt! Ruth and I both ended up being dumped in the ocean by Sjoerd..... Tonight we get to go to Bajio again. I am super excited! I think Bajio might be my favorite part of the week. Though I do love the worship service we have every Thursday night. Oh and we got to go to Walmart today because we didn't get to on Tuesday because there was a bomb threat... which, just like at school, no one ever followed through with.
Tomorrow half of us are going to work with Homes of Hope and build a house for two families. Marleen and Heidi are working with one group and Sjoerd and I are working with the other group. We are building for family in which the parents are 22 and 21 and the children are 6 and 2. The dad's mom told them about YWAM and Homes of Hope so they came to ask for help. So we will spend all day Saturday building them a house. We have breakfast at 6:45 and then we leave and get back in time for dinner. Ok I'm giong to be late to get to the kitchen and Bill will not appreciate that.
Que Dios les bendiga!
