Day 7

Wow, seven days have already passed and I can't even believe it. It doesn't feel like seven days have gone already, but that also means that the next 3 will go by even faster. We all still have so much we want to accomplish while we're down here. Hopefully the Lord will give us 3 fun and goal accomplish filled days so we can go home feeling like we actually did a lot of good here in Mexico, not only with our physical deeds but also with the goods and clothing we brought, also with our love of God. We want to show the people of La Paz that God loves them, and we love them too.
This morning I woke up at 6 trying not to wake up my roommate, Andrea. As I was sneaking out of my room I also saw Austin and Mark up and moving around. Our plan was to go to Tecalote and do some hiking this morning in time to see the sunrise over the ocean. Marcus Shy and Alexis joined the three of us. It was a small up close and personal group. We were all in it for the experience, no matter what we had to go through to get it. The 6 of us sacrificed our beauty sleep, to the dismay of the rest of the group, to climb a mountain to witness the Lords glory in the purest way that I know possible. We all have pictures, but the pictures don't do the mountains and the oceans and the sunrise any glory at all. I've realized while on this trip that all of the photo's I always thought were products of photoshop, are actually the products of really good cameras, and God's amazingness.
We went back to the seminary today and finished up all of the projects we had started there. The humidity today was absolutely crazy. It was hard to concentrate on cleaning up dripping paint when you were dripping sweat. We painted 4 more walls and the trim on the inside of the English classroom. We also got a lot of work done on the cabinet doors, but that is a project that can be worked on tomorrow from any location including Casabuena. We brought the materials with us.
The day was very tiring so after we all finished working and took a dip in the pool to cool down we just relaxed and ate dinner. There are still 3 days left so plenty of time to do touristy things, right?
