Last night we went to the beach at Coronado Island. The water was so super cold that many of us wanted to leave as soon as we got there, but some other really nice people shared their beach fire with us so we stayed.
p.s. Josh and Claire are both sick and it sux. They were both lazy.
Love,

This week has been a very fun week and also an eventful one so far. I have made a bunch of new friends at the basketball camp where I work and I have 3 staples in the back of my head. I work at a basketball camp where kids that can't afford a camp can come for free and learn to play and have all sorts of fun. I am the only one in my YouthWorks group that plays basketball so I go out and do the drills and connect with the kids and I have a lot of new friends. Unfortunately, yesterday I was sliding down a railing for fun and I fell backwards and slammed my head into the concrete below. Now I have 3 staples in the back of my head and I somehow also strained my knee so I have a brace on it and I can't play basketball. But, today I did what I could and I still hung with my friends and had fun. PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week has been absolutely amazing! My YouthWorks group called Laguna has been working at two different stations everyday. The first job is called "Special Delivery", run by an amazing woman named Ruth who has run the non-profit organization for twenty years with entirely volunteers. We make meals for people with AIDS and other diseases. In the second half of the day, we go to the food bank and check for rotting food and pack boxes for the needy. God has been in so many places through out this trip and I'm really glad I came. I'm having an amazing time :)

I was a bit behind in reading the blog, but am SO impressed and appreciative of your faithful reports! I too am all bleary eyed for many reasons! I think we all are thankful for the staff and parent volunteers taking care of our kids. Colin, you seem to have the gift of urgent care ministry!—and you handle it with such love & grace! (memories for us!)
Prayers for the rest of your time—that each of you will know a bit more of God, and his love and wonder as you continue your experience. May you see him meet you in everything!
Nate, we miss you fuzzy! (did you steal Jessie's purple towel? it's gone missing!!) :) Be ready—the Brits are coming on Sunday!
love, Ma, Pa, Jessie & Eli
