Great times with great friends...

This past week my best friend Leigha Burnley came with a team from West Park United Methodist Church!
I went to the airport to pick them up too. . .

If you cant tell by the picture my best friend is on the left. . .                                                                                            
















Kristine Burnley (Leigha's mom) and Kelly Williams both worked their tails off in our garden!
It used to be so filled with weeds you couldn't see an inch of the actually ground. . .















They did great! (Plus now I don't have to weed!)















We had a night with the students at the seminary called Conversational English Night. All of the team and my family participated. We all split up and sat at different tables. Then the students came and sat with whoever they wanted. We had conversations with them in English, though I had to use Crenglish (a combo of Creole and English) because I had all first year students at my table and they were still learning English! Leigha and I had a lot of fun, in the end, when we ran out of time, a lot of the students were complaining about it being such a short time! Both Leigha and I gave our emails to the people sitting at our table! When I offered to help them with learning English, they all thanked me with tears in their eyes!
All together it was a great experience!








































































Before the team left we took them to Dhaloo Beach. I was diving underwater with Leigha the whole time so I didn't get much pictures. . .
We took a boat taxi to Dhaloo. . .
















This is Leigha and I in the ocean. . .

















While we were swimming I came upon a sea bun. . .
Sea buns are a lot like sand dollars except they aren't flat. . .















Sadly the team had to leave after staying for a week. I went with them to the airport and we prayed together before letting them get on the plane. I will really miss the time spent with the team and I will always treasure it in my heart.

Pepper is as crazy and cute as ever. . .















Over these past couple of weeks the sunsets and sunrises have been absolutely brilliant. . .
I love that God has sense of creativity. . .



































We had a BEAUTIFUL rainbow in front of the mountain behind our house. . .















Also. . .

I just love that picture!

(and yes -besides the beach and Conversational English night- I did take all of the pictures!)












Well I guess thats all!
