The last two days have been really really really fun. I don't know if I can emphasize the fun enough to you all! Yesterday (Wednesday) my cuts from our last swimming excursion had healed enough to the point where I felt adventurous enough to go get some more haha. SO all the boys and I decided to climb all of the rocks we could this time...we even found a secret underwater tunnel that we swam through (DON'T WORRY IT WASN'T DANGEROUS AT ALL!!) although I kicked a little too hard and got a new cut...my bad! I felt so adventurous, one of the boys trying out new things in a foreign country. It was great...I don't have much more time, I'm so exhausted from today so I will have to expand on our adventures later...or just leave it to Seth haha. He's better at remembering the details.
We started our language speaking program today and met our best friends for the next 3 weeks. They fit in PERFECTLY with our group!!!! It is such an answer to prayer, there were hardly any moments where we were lost for words; it was SO great. I have only known them for 6 hours but I already love them and I can't wait to see them again tomorrow. There are 3 in particular that I got to spend more time with today because they were in my speaking group and we went out to a cafe after dinner; there names are Ertan, Atakan, and Malahat (I'm guessing on the spelling). Ertan and Atakan are boys that are 21 years old and no joke, if they went to the U of A, they would be friends with everyone in our chapter. EVERYONE would LOVE them. They are goofy and are constantly trying to make jokes. They laugh and smile all the time and they are really good at asking good questions. The third person is a girl and she, from the moment we met, was HILARIOUS and I knew that her and I were going to be good friends. She said that Ashley, Lauren, herself and I are the Tellytubbies HAHAHAHA She just wanted a fun, colorful group name to call us. It was tiring but so great. Thank you for your continued prayers, it means a lot and I know they are the reason we are still alive and well.
Although for the most part we are all well, Theo has been somewhat ill the past two days and he didn't get to participate today. We'd appreciate prayers for his health, thank you! That is all I can say for now because Seth is being obnoxious and telling me to move it so we can put up pictures. I love you all, Thanks for being here in spirit!
Blessings to all,
Erin Leigh
