I awoke this morning to a nice cool breeze and a sweet orange sunrise illuminating the buildings. I couldn't stay in bed long (even though it was only 4:00am) because I wanted to explore. I got Andrew up (my team mate) and we went to the Apple coffee shop just down the road. We had some coffee (that made me very hyper) and some smoothies. We also got an awsome Vietnamese lesson from a girl named Hung (H-OO-NG). She gave us her phone number and told us to call her anytime we wanted to hang out.
When we got back this morning the electricity was out. It stayed out until 3:00pm today, but than figured out that the breaker had been turned off!? That sucked, but eveyrthing is alright now. We have lights and fans going for sures. That's one thing that you need here, fans. They help soo soo much. As I'm writing this now, I find myself to be feeling a little under the weather because of the heat. My body is freaken out a bit, but I'm trying to stay positive in hoping that it will pass soon. Anyways........
Than this afternoon we went for a bike ride and ended up goin for a swim in the ocean. That was awsome! So warm, yet cool, and clear water. Its only about 10-15min. away! Aww snap!!
Riding a bike here is awsome! Your swurvin in and out ringin your bell and tryin not to hit anybody, while waving and people waving back. ahaha. Its a sight to see. Round abouts are the best! You just whip in there and hope to the Lord everyone sees you. ahaha.
We got back home and had an amazing lunch, from our house maid. It was real good goin down, but I'm not gonna lie my stomach is kind of feeling funky now. Uhh......fricken stomach. I have probiotics, I'm not supposed to be having these problems!! That's alright I know that God's got my back. A prayer requests to pray for is that some of my team mates are startin to teach next Mon. which is really soon. So that God would be with them as they start. And one more, that I would pick up Vietnamese qucik. ahah.
