Some of the girls from the Barrio loved playing volleyball. We would play until church started and then play again right after church.

This is the view from lighthouse on Coffin Island. On our day of, we took a ferry ride to this island. 6 of us made it to the top of the island. It was a rough hike since all we had were flip-flops to wear. The red buildings are where we started from.

Instead of taking the trail back, we ventured to the edge of the island so that we could walk the beach all the way back to the red buildings. (My favorite #2 picture)

Our leaders, Ben and Jeanette, Me, Angie, Kelly, and Mandy were the ones to make it up to the top.

My friend Liz and I applied to go on this trip together. Thankfully, both of us made it. I don't know what I would do without her. We grew so close together. Next year we are Roomies!!!

Wednesday night we watched a movie at the camp director's house. He had a projector that showed the movie on the side of his porch. Right next to us, was the ocean. What a way to watch a movie!



Thank you to those of you who supported my trip and prayed for me. We got more accomplished for the camp then any of us thought we could do. God was definetly at work!

So I really shouldn't be blogging about this, but it kind of made me laugh today. At 8am I got up to go tanning before class. The sidewalks were a little icy and I had to chip away at the ice on my windshield. However, the roads weren't bad. As I was tanning I was listening to all the school closings there were today. Pretty much no one had school. I couldn't figure out why because the roads were not bad. Anyway, I go to park my car right before class. I pulled into a parking spot behind a car and applied my brake as usual excpet, MY CAR WASN'T STOPPING! BANG! I definetly just hit the parked car in front of me. I didn't just tap the car, I hit it. Luckily no damage or anything.

So long story short, I guess there was a reason for the school closings!!!
