It doesn't seem real at all. I arrived yesterday afternoon. We caravaned with 2 other cars, so that was nice, a little nerve racking, but nice not to be alone. We had so much stuff in Kelsey's car. By we, I mean Kelsey and I. Poor Justin could barely fit his one box and duffel bag in the back.
The beach is beautiful. The sand here is SO soft. Once everyone got here last night we had a relay race. It was really funny. Kelsey, Abbey and I competed in leap frog. Honestly, it was probably the first time I've ever played leap frog. Pathetic, I know. There was also a watermelon competition that only the boys could compete in. After seeing it, I'm glad only the boys could do it. They had to swim out to a watermelon in the ocean and then try to get it, but the watermelon had Crisco all over it. They fought to their death. It was scary and comical all at the same time. Silly boys...
Then after we hung out at the beach for a bit, my d-group (Disciple group) came back to our condo and unpacked. Somehow, we have managed to find a place for all of our stuff. In our condo, it is Kesley, Abbey, Rachel and I. Rachel is our d-group leader and she is amazing. Abbey and I are sharing a room and Kelsey and Rachel have the living room. We also have two more girls in our condo who are in another d-group. They're great as well. I'm so happy here.
Today we woke up bright and early and went to an Orientation meeting for a few hours. I'm glad I know what is going on now! After our meeting, my "family" and I went to lunch and then came back to the room. Tonight, we made our first Walmart run....
This was only for 3 of us. Abbey also had a cart. Once again, somehow we managed to find a place for all of it in our kitchen. To get it from the car to the room, we had to use 2 bell carts. Ridiculous, I know. I have a feeling we won't be returning to Walmart much more after this.
I should get to bed. We're going to the early service at church in the morning. After that, we have lunch, Evangelism training in the afternoon, and World Prayer tomorrow night. I'm so excited.
Until next time,
XOXO
