I just can’t get enough of the Song “Always Enough” from Casting Crowns there’s just no words to describe! I can just put in my headphones and have a mini worship with My Savior. It’s great!!
On Friday we headed to Montezuma, also known as Montefuma because it’s pretty much like Bob Marleyville. Anyways we got to school to find the bus was broken and we were an hour late, but we when the van arrived we still had a chance to make it to our ferry we had to drive an hour, but as we pulled up to the dock the ferry was just off the shore. So we hung around the beach area got some food, and hung out for a couple hours before the next boat. Then after the boat ride we had another hour or two ride. On our way to the hotel the driver suddenly stopped the car and said “get out get out get out!!” We were all like what? But then he said, “Monkeys in the trees hurry get out before they go away!” So I got to see monkeys!! Then we got settled in the hotel and checked out the beaches, ate dinner, look at some shops, and called it a night.
Saturday was my birthday!! Thanks for all my birthday day wishes. I woke up. Ate an awesome breakfast, and got to go on a hike to a waterfall. And we climbed up rocks and jumped off and climbed under the waterfall. It was gorgeous. The hike was strenuous we were like rock climbing across all these different rocks. Then a few of us ventured up to the top of another waterfall and it had a rope swing, but we literally had to climb the mountain. When I was crawling up under the waterfall I slipped and I’ve got some pretty awesome bruises. It was a great way to spend the first half of my birthday day.
When we got back to the hotel around lunch time I skyped with my dad and I got a chance to hear my grandparents sing Happy Birthday to me. Then we went and just chilled and hung out for the rest of the say and lay on the beach. The only downside was it was sprinkling rain like all day, but we made the best of it. Then we got all dressed up and went to a pizza place and I treated myself to pasta for my birthday. And they sang to me and I got a pineapple pizza dessert thing. It was good. The girls got me a package of Oreos, I loved it! Then some of us went out later that night. I also got to skype with Adrienne and mom.
Then this morning it wasn’t really raining, but right b4 we were about to get on the boats it’s started pouring really bad. Finally it let up enough to bring the boats to shore; we got on and headed about an hour to Tortuga Island where it was sunny and beautiful. We got to snorkel and I saw a bunch of different fish. It was awesome. Then we had lunch on the island and we laid out. My shoulders, and legs, and arms are really red, but not too bad. Then we barely made the ferry and it was so packed we sat on the floor in the isle for an hour and a half. But then after another hour van ride back, we showered up, and all of a sudden my mama tica came up to me and give me a birthday present. It was beautiful diamond stud earrings. There gorgeous then while I was putting them on I hear Katie and Roxie’s voices. There two girls that came with our group and live with our mama tica’s daughter. They’ve been over a couple time and we’ve been over to their house because they don’t live far. Anyways I walked out and my mama tica burst into Feliz Cumpleaños (Happy Birthday) They I got hugs from everyone, and we feasted for dinner we had yuca which is like potatoes, and pigs leg and for desert she lit a candle and we had tres leche, which is an awesome cake! It tastes kind of like when your cake gets soggy from your ice cream. It’s so good. Then I got to see Knox on skype with my dad.
Couldn’t ask for a better birthday day weekend! I am blessed. Please be praying for me as I finish up school. I’m having a hard time dealing with it all and at times the stress is making me physically sick. On top of regular home work I have a 3 page paper about my field trip to San Jose, 10min oral presentation on Nicaragua, with handouts and a PowerPoint, then Thursday another paper and 15 minute presentation. ………………Total God Moment sorry got to stop and give Him praise… As I just finished typing that part I iTunes happened to be playing “Everlasting God” by Lincoln Brewer, and there is a part when a boy quotes scripture from Isaiah and part of what he quotes says, “He gives power to the weak, and strength to the powerless, even youth will become weak and tired and young men will fall in exhaustion, but those who trust in the Lord will find new strength, they will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
