Hola mis amigos

Hey guys, it's me Gabby.

This has by far been the most difficult mission trip I've ever been on. Honestly, never before have I yearned to be alone for even just a few minutes, or wanted to explode like a volcano, OR wanted to bawl my eyes out. I know it's not bad, and it really could be worse, but I just feel so drained. I'm trying to stay positive however, because I know that once you start feeling negative about a trip, the metaphorical doo-doo will hit the fan.

Things have been going pretty great though, I feel freaking awesome because I got a shower today after having to be gross and sweaty for like 3 days. VBS has been going great too; on the first day alone we had more than 75 kids show up (which was completely overwhelming oh my lanta). The second day was way better, we had about 50. Which, you know, is still too many for us to completely manage on our own with our cute little team of 28, but still, things went great.

Tonight is an evangelistic event for all the teens on the island; we're going to do a movie night. It should be fun, hopefully a lot of people show up.

Mentally, everyone on our team is feeling pretty out of it. Actually, everyone was pretty exhausted by the second full day we were here. But Tim's been reminding us that it's at our lowest points that God shows up the most, so I'm optimistic! I'd really appreciate it if you guys could continue to keep us in your prayers, there's a lot of illness in the team, and it would be a bummer if people weren't able to participate in VBS half-way through the week.

Bella, Daddy, I wuv you and miss you bunches, and I hope you're not having too much fun without me.
Thanks for reading!

-Love Gabby <3
