oximately 64% better than you were feeling.
it was a pretty small group that went. 6 guys and 4 girls. we were kind of segregated boys/girls for a while. we pretty much took a boy van and a girl van. so the boys decided to go to wal-mart without even asking us girls if we wanted to go. so, becca and i got bored and decided to duct tape their stuff to the ceiling.
but we also duct taped a note saying "we got bored. take us with you next time". i guess now's the time to mention that it was a high school missions trip which is kind of why i was allowed to do such. they did try to get us back by putting frogs in our room, but they didn't think that we're not freaked out by frogs.
anyway, we got to hand out bags of food to kids that lived in landfills and got to play with some kids at an orphanage. that was okay. but we had loads of free time. so it kind of felt like a vacation, but it was a really great intro for high school students into missions. we also got some beach time. after living in southern california for 2 years, then liberia, both places where i could look out of where i lived and see the ocean. i have desperately missed the beach. however, this was the first time i built a sandcastle. ours won. complete with watchtower, community swimming pool, and landfill. apparently, we were brooklyn.
the other team were the bronx and unfortunately couldn't get the moat to work:
the last group of the boys were to be manhattan (i don't know why we were NY, we didn't have anyone in our group from NY).
but now i actually have a respect for sandcastles and why you should never even think about knocking them over. it's a big deal. so, that's kind of the extent of mexico. now, on to find a job.
love,
