The roller coaster

Today was one of those days. It was like a roller coaster ride. The day started out going up, obviously. We put on our swimsuits and headed for the pool. We swam and ate with the people till around 4 pm. The team had gotten there at 1 pm. After that was the baptisms. Ashley and I were the only ones. Pastor Chava had us say our testimonies, asked us some questions and we hopped into the now strangely empty compared to 15 minutes before pool.

I never knew you had to plug your nose a special way when you're baptized. After this we swim some more. Next were the other testimonies. This time we talk about our time with the people. Then a video is shown with nature from our part of town.

Remember that roller coster? This is where we start going down, fast. And the sobfest commences. It's time to say goodbye to the people of the church. Everybody was crying. Some of the ladies I didn't even say more than "Hi" to hugged me tight. Plus all of my friends were bawling, well most of them were. It was sooo sad, for everybody. My heart will be ripped in two when we leave them for good. Now I'm tired, it's 11pm where we are, and I want to go to bed. So see you all in about a week. Bye and good night.

- Love, Cady
