Here’s a funny story and the most embarrassing thing that has happened to me in a long time!
Before we left for Honduras, me and my whole squad went to an island called Caye Caulker. We spent 5 days there to have debrief and to spend time with each other before we entered into the next month of ministry.
We all stayed at a hostel that had four floors. I was staying on the fourth floor and two girls were on the third floor directly under me.
The first night we were there, I woke up and I had to pee SO BAD. I don’t think I’ve ever had to go so bad in my life! While being half asleep, I searched frantically for my empty water bottle, squatted down beside my bed, and I apparently missed the bottle.
A LOT.
As I was still squatted on the ground, I looked up and saw one of my squad mates, Maggie standing in front of me. She was one of the girls that was sleeping on the third floor directly under me.
She said bluntly, “What are you doing……”
I replied, “Oh just peeing in a bottle.”
She said, “I woke up because I thought it was raining, but I noticed your pee just went through the floor and was dripping on my face.”
I said, “Oh no…”
That was the end of our conversation and we both just went back to bed.
My whole squad got a big laugh out of it and Maggie is still my friend so all is well, but next time I’ll use the bathroom.
