Yesterday was another fun-filled Thursday!
We had Bible study and then stayed afterwards to be “trained” as leaders. And we all had lunch together too.
After that it was almost time for Volleyball!! I had some extra time plus I was helping direct anyone that wasn’t sure where to go, so I used my time very wisely! And I am quite proud of myself for that!! I did step-ups, high knees, butt kicks, calf raises and balancing. Then, after a bit of that, I saw a basketball and started shooting some hoops for about 20 mins. And I was doing pretty dang good!! I was really shocked and excited! I think because I’m working out regularly and just feel fit and confident is why I was doing so good getting the baskets. Because it’s been a LONG time since I’ve actually shot a ball! But they were going in over and over again! It was a great feeling :).
Then we played 3 on 3 volleyball for 3 games. And boy were we Tired!! They were close games all the way and we played till 26 points (we ended up winning all 3 games though! Whoo-hoo!). It ended up being close to 1.5 hours we played. It was SO hot out, despite the fact that it’s “winter” here. The sun was super intense and right in your face. We were sweating like crazy! Pretty sure I got dehydrated. But it was still a blast!
After that we were invited by Kellie to go watch the soccer game. Her husband is the coach and her son is on the team. So we watched the game and that was really awesome because we were in the middle of this whole American Community!! There were students hanging out, familes, people selling food . . . It was crazy! But really cool to be in a ‘community’ of Americans (mostly). Just a nice treat, ya know.
After soccer we went to Kellie’s house to have dinner w/ her fam :). She is a great cook!! She made a killer Mexican dinner with burritos, green chili sauce and all the fixin’s.
It was de-lish. Also we had great conversation!! Jen and I just love Kellie so much! She is so deep and wise and knows the Word. And she is also super quick witted and super funny!! It was nice to sit down w/ her and her husband and just hear some amazing stories from them! They’ve been living in Thailand now for 9 years!!
We were pretty beat when we finally got home around 9:30pm. And this morning when I woke up, I felt like my body had gotten hit by a train!! I am SO sore!! That volleyball did me in! But it was so worth it!
Thursdays are becoming my favorite day of the week!!
