God's not finished yet!

Today was another really good day.  We started off by building another 3 layers of styrofoam lego on the dorm building and filling it all with cement, which took the morning to finish.  We decided to take a quick trip to the beach early afternoon.  It was so nice!!  The sand dunes were great, and the water was also really nice once you got used to it.  Quote for the day:
"It's cold for the first minute and a half but when your body gets numb, it's great!!"   --Stephanie P.   :)
That about sums it up. :)  It was fun.
At 4:00 there was an English class that some of us went to help with.  We finally found the location after turning around on pretty much the same street 5 times.  :)  It ended up not really being a class at all!  The lady that ran it (her name was Maggie) just had kids from the neighbourhood come over every day and mostly just have fun!  They did a few dances they had learned for us, which was really cool.  And then while the kids drew pictures Maggie gave us a tour of her property.  She had so little right now, but she inspired me a lot with her trust in Jesus and her dreams of what He will do with what little she does have.  The love of Jesus flowed out of her so much!  I was so blessed to be able to go there.  It didn't seem to me like I did a whole lot, for sure not teach English, but she seemed so happy that we had come, and I am not at all sorry I went. It was an amazing experience for me.
Physically, today was maybe tiring, yet so refreshing and uplifting spiritually.  It's been so neat seeing what God is doing here, and I'm excited for what He will still do!!
