Some down time before I leave...

So we had a chance to go to Guimaras and do one camp there. But before we did the camp we got to relax and hang out on the island. It was wonderful. Then, last weekend we went to Ahoy and went camping on a sandbar. There were some rough moments for sure but it was very cool.


One of my favorite desserts is Buko (aka Coconut). In Guimaras they climbed up the tree and we all enjoyed our snack! The best part is adding some sugar and milk and ice to the buko juice. It is an amazing refreshing treat!


Aimee and Sarah and I on the beach at Guimaras, just enjoying relaxing.


Sunset on the island.
Riding the jeep to tell the kids about Camp Sonshine! It was a day of fun for sure! I met Diadem when I did camp in Guimaras in 2001! I loved continuing the tradition with her!


Eating Indian Mangos on the beach! Good times...


We also celebrated Sarah's bday! Both my roomates had bdays while here in the PI!
We had massages and fancy dinners to celebrate!


We had banquet to celebrate the Ignite A Movement youth event.
We got a chance to remember what God has done, eat good food and say goodbye to the team!

The roomies and I at the banquet. Of course, we can't be too serious!

After the IAM team left we were off to Ahoy. We camped out on a gorgeous sandbar.


The weather did not always cooperate for us.

But despite the storms we got to see some beautiful sights.


We decided to be adventurous and climb up a moutain nearby. We first had to swim and then the climb turned out a lot more difficult than expected since it rained so badly. My fliflops broke, but we eventually made it up! Can you guess which feet are mine?
This is me looking down on what we had just climbed! You can't really tell how high it is!

This is at the very top. The natives helped us make it there. The one boy is holding a pineapple because they were growing wild all over the mountain! Very cool!


T-5 days until I come home! Keep me in your prayers please! I love you all!
