Life here is probably pretty close to
amazing. I get up, eat breakfast, go to school, go home, hang out 'til supper,
then I usually go play volleyball for a while.
There’s only one other person really
close to my age. She’s 13 and pretty awesome. The other people I hang out with
are all out of college and also going over to be missionaries.
I live in a kind of a house but it has
like 5 apartments in it. It’s kind of like sharing a house with 6 other people
(not including my parents). It’s really fun though. Sometime this week I think
we’re going to have a Napoleon Dynamite party. It should be pretty awesome.
Some of the people are gonna make spam sushi, and (if I can get some cookie
dough between now and then) I’m gonna make cookies.
The place we’re staying is out in the
country, and it is GORGEOUS out here. When
I go outside at night, I can see so many stars compared to my house back there
in Lafayette. The only sad thing is that there’s no TV, so we couldn’t even
watch the Olympics. At one point, some people hooked their computer up to a
projector and we watch part of it off YouTube, but you can kinda guess how that
went.
There’s a band that plays on Sunday nights
and I played with them two Sundays ago. We did pretty well, considering the
singers (I most definitely was NOT one of them) were singing in Spanish. I was
just a guitar player.
Every Sunday night we have what’s called
Cross Cultural Worship. That basically means that they select a region (South
East Asia, for example) and if the language isn’t too hard to speak, all the
preaching, testimonies, and the music is in that language. It’s really cool.
