These are the life lessons of the week…….Take them seriously!!!!!
1. Team pictures in a tree are NEVER a good idea!
My teammate Lindsay took a ten foot fall, and some how landed straight on Tim. It looked like synchronized diving from my point of view. To top it off, after Lindsay got off of Tim he yelled, “I Saved Her!”
2. I have found the best way to work on your vertical is to not be paying attention when you open the curtain to the outhouse.
Sometimes chickens are in there, and when the curtain is moved they dart right out between your legs.
3. Never believe someone when they say they have a piñata for you.
Our Teammate Elizabeth had a birthday yesterday. We did a bunch of stuff to celebrate, but the best part was when we blindfolded her at the house. We then helped her walk to the middle of town to this cement parking lot area, and had her start swinging at this piñata that didn’t exist. (THE VIDEO IS HILARIOUS!) After a couple minutes we all left and watched her from a distance when she finally realized there was no piñata and started to run after us….SHE BIT IT! She now knows tip number 4.
4. Remove a blindfold before you run.
Elisabeth ran right into a small hill which took her out. I mean out!!!
5. Niagara Falls is a possible consequence.
Pastor has a tarp set up over our eating area and part of his roof (why its on top of the roof I have no idea). Well last night we had a extreme rain storm and the tarp began to fill with water. We heard some popping and ran outside. The tarp was collapsing the roof so Jory went out and sliced it with a knife……….We then experienced the Niagara falls outside the house as well as inside! Opps
6. Fleas are in! 5 of us have flea bites and they’re AWESOME! Be jealous!
We have wicked awesome red dots all over our backs and arms. You want them, trust me.
7. A DO NOT DISTURB sign is a must needed commodity.
Some people are getting a little too close in the bathroom area. I say area because sometimes you just have to go outside!
8. GO BIG or GO HOME!
While the Guat’s stay close to shore or literally on the beach, the crazy Americans go 60-80 yards out! We couldn’t touch the bottom, I personally felt like shark bait. We were attempting to body surf on 8ft and 9ft waves, and it was so fun.
9. Chew softly… there could be bones.
