What a wondrous weekend! We are back in Matamata safe and sound! This morning we hung out and cleaned the beach house and made it back to the base by 4:30. We had quite a bit of spare time this morning, so Elisa and I worked on our song. It is called 'Be Still'. We really took our creative liberties with it. On different sections we trade back and forth on who sings the melody and who sings harmony, and the harmonies switch from the high to the low harmony frequently and inconsistently. And we also switch the timing part way through. Bahaha. Schnegg really judged us on the timing the first time he heard it, but he likes it now!
We also had a bit of time after we were done cleaning before we left, so Matt got out his lappy and we watched Parks & Recreation, which is my new favorite show. There was a hilarious comment about Russian children, named Nicholi and some other 'Russian' name, playing in dirt pits instead of playgrounds. There was also a band named 'Just the tip'. Oh man. So bad, but so good!
There were a few funny things that happened this weekend that I forgot to write about before. For one thing, before we left on Friday, cottage five had a tampon insertion demo. It is very difficult to explain how to use a tampon. And really gross. And just really awkward. Bahaha. It was so funny. We were talking about the best ways to position your body and how to relax the muscles. So awkward.... Speaking of gross things, my digestive system is back on the fritz. I think I will have to take some more imodium.
A few funny things happened on the beach yesterday. First, the sand was black. So naturally one would desire to stick the sand all over one's self to see what it would be like to be black. And naturally Janessa would be the one in this scenario. So she got her feet and her lower leg covered, but then gave up. It looked like she had a skin coloration disease, like Michael Jackson maybe.... Like most of her skin had turned white, but her feet were lagging behind. I called her Janessa the Nigro. I am very politically correct. Second, I sat playing my guitar for pretty much the whole time. And the sun was on my right side the whole time, so now I have a really unfortunate sunburn/tan. My right arm was bright red yesterday with no sign of sun on my left arm. And it is the same on my face. I thought that it wasn't super noticeable, but I was proven wrong today when we got back to the base and the first thing Rich said to me was "Steph, it looks like you got a bit of sun on the weekend, but only on one side of you." Awesome. I guess my mission for tomorrow is to sit all day with my left side to the sun.
I bought some dairy free chocolate bars at the grocery store. On the way home I set them behind the driver's seat in the van. The unfortunate things about these guetto vans that we ride around in here is that the motor is not under the hood, in front of the driver. It is behind the driver seat. When I was unloading my groceries when we got back my chocolate bars were liquid. Dang.
I am really excited for this week because Josh Cole is coming to teach again! He was here in the second week (I think) and he taught on Hearing the Voice of God and it was really amazing! He will be here teaching on Relationships with his wife Misty. I am so jacked. It will be a really nice change from spiritual warfare (yuck).
I wish there were more funny things to say, but alas I am exhausted and must go to bed. Sweet dreams!!!
