What’s up from Kelsi and Becca!
Today-after waking up at 6:15 and 6:50 (Kelsi doesn’t take as long to get ready, haha) we all had devotional and afterward, breakfast. Becca had some delicious chocolate cereal dubbed Coco Krispies, and Kelsi savored real-made french toast. Like, not from a box. She also enjoyed a bowl of zugaritas. (ask kelsi when you see her)

Around 8ish we all left for Casa Hogar Vida instead of the Límon for community work. Kelsi worked with a MACHETE while Becca did boring work clearing fields. Kelsi’s hands hurt. J She also has some blisters, one is open haha. Becca was unhurt in anyway whatsoever… .psh. SHE says that she was careful and that she has tough hands, but I know the truth. She was NOT careful an ended up standed in a huge fire ant village where the ants then swarmed her feet and ankles, biting her. Then, they took her to the sacrificial chamber of their domain and began the ritual for rain. This happened because she is white and blonde. She was in terrible danger until Kelsi came swinging valiantly with her machete, slicing through their foes and freeing Becca from her constraints. They then road off into the sunset on a beautiful white horse. Yes, I was her knight in shining armor… or maybe just bedecked with a machete.
Wouldn’t that be totally awesome if that were true? J In truth, Becca got the ants off of her in about 7 minutes… or 5. Kelsi cut grass with her awesome machete. Reina, Sara, and Alec helped out a bit, but in the end Kelsi was the one who really did the job. After about an hour everyone else left and abandoned Kelsi to continue working. I say that they just couldn’t take my awesomness. Jacob, Edgar, and Mr. Saadeh watered trees, and everyone that wasn’t pwning with the machetes was clearing land.
Around 12ish we all returned to the hotel for a delicious lunch of stirfry meat and veggies with watermelon, papaya, and rice. After that, at 2, we left for the beach!
Let’s switch to Becca now, you’ve heard enough from me haha!

It took about 45 min to get there. We had to cross a bridge that was only two boards across (it was both cool and a little scary). After we got of the bridge we stepped on to a path made of soda filled with sand. Speaking of the sand, it was tan mixed with black, It looked multi-colored! We walked into a hut like thing with about 10 hammocks hanging from wooden poles. We played in the water, took a walk, and ate a delicious dinner of fish and chips. After hanging out for a while we all gathered around a bonfire and sang a couple of worship songs. After the songs a couple people shared their testimony and we ended the day at the beach with a couple more songs.
Right now we are finishing Iron Man, which we had started around lunch. It has been yet another wonderful day, and we all want to stay here a lot longer.
Hasta luego from Becca and Kelsi!
