Well, it has definitely been a little hectic that past couple of days since reaching San Juan. It was a great flight, and it was really funny watching Katie react to the turbulence as we approached the Island. Also, one of the things that we do on Project is group dates. It is when a guys discipleship group ask out one of the girl groups. It's designed to teach the guys how to better treat girls like ladies (not that they don't know how) but also for the girls to encourage the guys in it also. However, it's a competition between the guys on who can come up with the most creative way to ask the girls on the group dates. Well, we got the flight attendents involved and asked the girls over the speaker system in the plane as we passed the Bahamas. It was awesome.
So over the past couple of days we've done a lot. From learning more about the Word, to learning about the singapore culture, it has been amazing. I definitely enjoyed working with some of the guys with their testimonies and how to tailor it to have a clearer presentation of the gospel through their experiences. Today we did evangelism in the Condado area, where we are staying. I was a little nervous to do it cause it didn't go so well last year for me when we did it in Condado. However today it was amazing. I got to talk to a guy who was a Christian and it was fun getting to practice my Spanish and he seemed to enjoy it also. Then Zavia and myself got to talk to two older ladies that were super friendly and actually challenged us to use our spanish to help improve it. It was amazing seeing one of the ladies heart for God and her love for Christ.
This year I'm a room leader and lead two other guys in a small Discipleship group. It was a little tough at first how to relate to the guys and a little discouraging after talking with some of the other group leaders because it seemed that their groups were connecting really well, talking and seeming to be more of a group while mine wasn't. It took some time to get to introverts to open up more but today during D-group, after not really getting anywhere with the plan for the day, I just was like "screw this plan, let's just talk with them. It was pretty amazing to see them open up and we had some pretty good conversations and I was really thankful for that.
One a different note, it has been pretty good getting a chance to talk with some of the other guys on Project and really growing closer to them. David is one of the Air Force guys from Embry-Riddle and him and I really connected well and had some amazing and deep discussions in Starbucks, I really enjoyed it and even though we've only known each other a week, I'm really thankful for him already. Along wit guys like Derek and Kyle, who I've also had great conversations with. I really glad Eric is one Project again. He is the leader's group leader and him and I have been close since last summer.
Monday we went to Cuevo del Indio, which is the rock formations off the coast. I managed to get sun burn on my neck which has sucked the past couple of days but overall it was fun. On our way to Cueva Ventana, we got pulled over for going 71 in a 55, but Will, who worked almost two years in PR says they don't give greengos tickets so we were good, actually turned out to be quite funny. I'll upload pictures from Cuevo del Indio and Cueva Ventana tomorrow.
